Glad I stimulated some conversation.
All too often recent owners (Wright & Harrison) of the Dons have only come to the fans when they want money or help, but when it got offered never acted upon it.
Perhaps Mr Hall would rather we just worshipped him for rescuing the Dons.
Hail St Carl !

Now there is another story

It means not on here. Thats what it means. Not a slight against you but there are always two sides to any story. End of.

so why state something that you can't or won't back up ?

seems a pointless exercise or is it supposed to mean something privately to people 'in the know' ?

it's like me saying 'I know where Cooky is playing next season' and not telling you where !

(I don't know by the way)

Whilst realising that the likes of Carl Hall and others have kept the Dons entity going through some extremely lean times I have to point out that directors or any management at a sports club come and go quite regularly. For the fans it's a lifetime commitment. If Mr Hall thinks all of the people who spent good money on the day to see an abject performance from the Dons will simply roll over then he's incredibly naive. Of course a percentage of fans will be upset and will voice their opinions. It's called human nature. Besides, he's a Kiwi and obviously doesn't realise that moaning comes as standard for Yorkshireman.

It is a private thing and pointless as you correctly point out.

What Carl as a kiwi ought to do is get some kiwis in our side.
It seems a bit odd that a kiwi wouldn't do that when kiwis are so good.
Or if not Pacific islanders.

Doubt if overseas players would come for win or loose money . Rather have home grown players !

Yes you are probably right.
But I wasn't thinking of importing them.

Still when we are in the Championship, we can do it then can't we? ... the Eagles do.

By the way I think it is lose money ... I don't think many people of any persuasion would play for loose money.
