Cost the club half million quid. Obviously the board don't want to make that mistake again hence Val out schopp in.
He also said we expect to be challenging for the playoffs regularly, which was mental. Unless he meant in League One?
Think it was in bonuses for league position paid to the squad etc - which would normally have been offset by ticket sales. I think.
Is that what it was? From the way it was portrayed I assumed that simply playing the two games and hosting one somehow cost half a million. He was making out like it was the league's fault and the only league he knows off where it costs to play in the playoffs.
To be fair to him, if it's true then that does seem a bit mad. Prize money should probably be jigged around a bit to at least give teams in the top 6 enough to mean that they don't lose money by having to play extra games. Then again it's difficult to feel too much sympathy - it's not like he's a local businessman done good who's bought his hometown club with his last twenty quid. They're supposed to be a set of international business whizzkids - they knew the rules when they signed up, and bleating about them now isn't a great look.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think he said that in an interview - plus obviously paying matchday staff etc on the day. Probably why we've jacked off stewards this season.
It's funny how these anti board posts suddenly went quiet at the back end of last season, yet reappear as soon as we have a bad run. Yes, I'm not too impressed with Schopp so far, but using it to attack the board is a bit OTT. Some people seriously need to get a grip.
The board did interview and recruit Schopp so if he turns out to be a bad appointment which at the moment looks a distinct probability then who else is at fault. They say they pick managers with the same game plan and style of playing as the ones before, schopp looks a million miles away from the last three managers in fact a billion miles away from the last one.
Yep that’s how I heard it, basically campaigning that if you reach play offs you should get more money from league.
Id hazard a bet a lot of that was a fee to retain dike for the playoff games. A gamble that didnt pay off.
The problem the board have is as soon as they find a good one like val he gets poached even a not so good one like struber so law of averages says your always going to come across a few duds like morais and schopp
