Another away game...

It’s nowt to do with age..

I certainly agree we shouldn’t be chucking money at agents but it’s the industry we’re in, another method is to pay it and simply add the fees back on when you sell the player. McCann, Ferguson and Dickov have all said the same thing.... there’s no money and it’s pretty obvious there the ones no lying.

Just carry on wallowing in your own miserable world. Wouldn’t want it any other way would we.
You make all the other negativity on here look positive.

On the contrary avsuptem. Older supporters have a responsibility to remind some younger fans what a badly run club really looks like - and where it can end up.

spot on mate .we have our share of miserable cnuts on here 😡
Heaven forbid ! An amusing tongue - in - cheek song sung by the club's supporters on  friday night out. And to make it worse they were youngsters  !
There was nothing offensive about it whatsoever and the older supporters on here, like me, need to celebrate their wit and ironic way of getting a very justifiable message across. Not criticise. They are the RTID of the future.

Maybe change the words to the budget is tight instead of chairman

Or, maybe sing about summat else more positive. Like singing the praises of our players etc.

'Pure Burberry'

So Colin care to elighten me what that means dear boy?
The English outfitters specialising in a distinctive plaid?
I art directed the design of The Burberry Annual Report and Accounts about 20 years ago but thats as close as I've got to the iconic fashion brand.
Never really liked the overbearing Caramac brown primary colour in the weave. Always thought it a bit bland.
Anyway...

Just thinking as I read the above post........paying the agents fees to get the right player is a bit like having to pay stamp duty on a second or third (and so on) property.
You resent having to do it but if you want what it brings (income) then you just have to bite the bullet and crack on.

Aye, not an easy one when agents will be hovering like Sylvester around Tweety Pie, knowing that we need a forward. I feel a bit for DM who must be agonising over bringing someone in.

My take is that we have the makings of a proper team here but going up this year would be way too early for us. So while getting someone in up front would help with the development of the team between now and the end of the season, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the summer before we see something more permanent.

You may be right, but that would leave a hell of a task on in the summer. We only have 8 senior players contracted to the club beyond this season (and of those you’d have to say Lawlor’s future is uncertain and Whiteman and Anderson will attract interest) so if we opted against permanent signings in this window then we’ll need to make permanent signings galore in the summer.

We actually do work with some excellent agents at DRFC, so it's not all one way traffic, there are some out there who are extremely valuable and you don't mind paying.

That is good to hear SM and I had always thought that that would be the case.
I would think it is fair to say that the club sometimes asks agents for recommendations for certain types of players.

I am sure that you understood the reason for my earlier post.
For those that didn’t.......
Sometimes, for the absolute right player, a club would have to pay an agents going rate if it meant that future income would be enhanced.
