Just wondered if anyone knows whether Dale will receive anything from the potential £6m Dawson transfer from West Ham to Wolves?
Did we have a "% of all future transfer clause" inserted?

This is quite an interesting interview with FGR DOF which is more eloquently put than I can muster:
Long-term and strategic planning were recurrent themes in our members answers with Rich Hughes, Director of Football, Forest Green Rovers FC adding:
“The role has several benefits, but the main one in our opinion is an ability to provide continuity and stability in transition periods for a football club, with the average tenure of a head coach or manager being as short as it is, clubs should not find themselves in a scenario where a manager leaves and the club finds itself without structure or information.
“Having a Sporting Director in situ also means that the club is able to work on a medium to long term basis as opposed to continued short term strategies. Having a Sporting Director will also be beneficial to a Head Coach or manager as it will give them a sounding board to develop forward and will avoid the Head Coach becoming stuck in an echo chamber.” |
Sounds great, doesn't it
Doesn't stop FGR being rock bottom of L1, as we are of L2 |  |

I mean they've done pretty well just to even get into League One. Yes they've had investment from the owner but the model to move through divisions has also clearly worked. They're not cut adrift by any stretch so definitely have a chance of staying up. If they do come down then that will be the real test of the system to see how they settle & go again. | | | |

I know the training ground has been a point of discussion since before he joined the board room, but both that and a director of football were things Bottomley claimed he wanted investment for. | |

Bottomley wanted anything that A) he could claim was his idea and talk about on the telly and B) could justify giving himself and his pals a pay increase for. |  | | |

But an idea is not necessarily bad if it was mooted by BotBot. | |

Have you checked your attic? He might be living there, you may be the only person in the world with a good word for the bloke. Seriously anyone who could spend £50k on hand sanitiser and stickers was obviously either mentally ill or up to no good. You could buy sanitiser for £2 a bottle, so 25k bottles for 75000 uses that's 3 squirts per bottle max. Even Hancock did better deals than that! | | | |

Saying having improved training facilities and or a DoF is not necessarily a bad idea just because that man supported those notions isn't having a good word to say about him persay (sic). | |

One thing is for sure, we’ll never move forward if people insist on bringing up certain individuals from the past. |  |

Sorry for bringing up said individual. I don't think ideas should necessarily be poo pooed because said person was in support of them is all. | |

No I know. We all know about the past, our problems today are a result of many, many mistakes made over the years. It’s how we choose to deal with them now. | |

Cameron John's salary sank in the split second i read about it, along with my heart
You're preaching to the converted on each of those individual points, and it's clear the board are inexperienced in footballing matters, which can't be held against them (but is by some) |
Coincidentally, Cameron John started his professional career with Wolves... |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |
