I shall watch the Coventry Semi final at the week-end but boycott the other one. Not that it will make an iota of difference, but as they say " When a butterfly flutters its wings in the Amazon a chain reaction can cause a Tornado in Texas."

Excellent idea, but how many directors as quoted in the article do we have?

Main pitch not replaced, just stage 1 drainage completed. Training pitches require drainage attention to cope with increased rainfall due to climate change. Sent from my SM-A715F using onevalefan mobile app

Poetic justice that the Super Greed did not make it to the Champions? semi-finals, Germany 2, France 1, Spain 1, England 0

At one time there was no limit to the number of replays, at the Liverpool game we were wondering on how to get to Old Trafford for the 2nd Replay and then Thomson ended the dream. It was a wise decision to limit replays to one, probably with the invention of penalty shoot -outs

Dependant on charity

That is what the FA Cup is all about, 99% of the teams don't expect to win it. Just the odd big game to treasure.

The Greed League need more TV slots to cope with the expansion of the various European competitions. What great FA Cup replays we would have missed Sunderland, Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Everton, Arsenal, come to mind straight away and the 3-1 victory in the rain. What about the loss of gate money?

The new Premier League deal cancelling FA Cup Replays from the First round is another blow.

But football at our level depends on charity, match receipts are insufficient. At present we rely on the owners putting money in, and they are not likely to get it back. Other charity work is carried out at the ground (funded partially by the state and local sources). The owners did charity work before buying the Vale, it was not likely they would stop.

Crucial whether Dipepa plays or not as well.

Bolton 3 pts less than Derby and inferior GD. Derby to visit Cambridge and home to Carlisle. 1 win required. Sent from my SM-A715F using onevalefan mobile app

Final prices or discounted/early birds ? Some clubs give membership/renewal discounts.

But was he actively involved in the negotiations?

As a matter of interest who has Moore signed in his previous clubs where there was no DoF or equivalent.

Then, someone else will try to get a tune out of the players Moore has signed. I hope not and he can turn us around. The purpose of a DoF is continuity when managers have such short periods at clubs. Just because we have a poor one does not make it a bad system. In the meantime, the Ceo will have to run the show. Sent from my SM-A715F using onevalefan mobile app

Even little Barrow have one, see how Moore does in the Summer, then time to look around before the Jan transfers. Sent from my SM-A715F using onevalefan mobile app

Relegation is part of football, setbacks are part of business, learn from it and move on.

It is up to the DoF to ensure he has a good scouting network, know as Recruitment in modern football speak.

Assuming he accepted the job on the basis of the club playing style and business plan as defined by the DoF at the time, and would be given the funds to recruit the appropriate players to play that style, the need for a DoF is not urgent. Assuming by now he has identified where replacements are needed and will be given the funds appropriate to L1 or L2 to bring them in. His tenure will then depend upon his performance. During that period suitable DoFs to be identified to continue the clubs progress in spite of setbacks.
