Re: Pondgield Road Parking

Oh cosmic. Yet another nail in the attendance coffin. One of the great things about going to the Vic as opposed to going Premier League is the ease of parking and the ability to get home quickly. Couple that with the poor football, lack of success, toxic atmosphere around the club created by the MD ...

Re: Roll up, roll up

The geezer is the biggest narcissist since time began. People like him are an absolute nightmare when they get money as it gives them the power to destroy everything that stands in their way. I've said it before but we really dodged a bullet there. I think it could have got very nasty if he had take...

Re: Why ???

1st half was a vast improvement on the last game I had the displeasure of being at in person VS Ebbsfleet. A really good tempo, lots of pressing, some decent aggressive football and unlucky not to go in with a small lead. 2nd half was definitely a much tighter affair and probably got out of jail wi...

They have pulled an appointment out of the bag, that would be in most dagger fans, top 3.

Fair play.
I think that calling Thompson an ‘apology’ is a bit harsh at this point. He tries his best 😉

Re: Taylor gone

Let me just say this to all those who are anti Garry Hill (and I do get why); 1996 Cusack/Carr take us down the toilet and get us relegated from the Conference. Club bring in Ted Hardy, ex manager and old dinosaur. Fans angry. 1997 Dagenham and Redbridge cap a fine season of entertaining football wi...

Re: Best/Worst Managers in D&Rs history....

I like Adrian's assessment a lot but my only gripe would be the damage that Cusack did to the club when he came in. Carr was awful but just clearing up the mess that Cusack had made of continuing the John Still legacy. Having said that he was very limited on budget yet Graham Carr was given hundreds...

If Carlsberg ran football clubs......it wouldn’t look anything like Dagenham and Redbridge these days. 😀

Re: Who would you replace Taylor with?

On the showing today I would appoint myself as manager. No experience, little clue on tactics and my greatest achievement was taking Mansfield Town to the FA Cup Final on Fifa 12. It would be a massive improvement on the shit show we have in charge right now. Seriously though. Give Garry Hill the jo...

Re: Best/Worst Managers in D&Rs history....

For me it has to be;

John Still
Garry Hill
Ted Hardy
Wayne Burnett
Graham Carr
Dave Cusack
Peter Taylor

Cusack got us into a terrible mess but was under massive budget constraints. Carr tried, and failed miserably, to turn it around. Taylor has zero excuses. Worst manager we have ever seen. End of.

Re: My theories on Taylor

If he has got a new contract that extends beyond next summer then the club have kept it very quiet. Also why would they do that when the jury was already out at the end of last season?

Re: My theories on Taylor

1. He thinks he is still better than our lowly little club and thinks he can manage his way out of this mess. 2. He will not leave willingly and wants a payoff or at least the remainder of his contract paid. 3. He just wants to coast along picking up his wages and who cares where we finish. 4. He m...

Re: Hartlepool

The owners seem to have adopted a strategy of buying the club and leaving the current management structure to run it from top to bottom. This simply isn't working any more (if it ever did) and it needs a root and branch review from someone with experience of running successful sports franchises. If ...
