Not sure what the national leagues policy on that is though (points deduction?).

Good god, how old is Reg Brealey?
Wouldn't surprise me to see them go into administration at some point, they can then cancel expensive contracts etc and start again. Not sure what the national leagues policy on that is though (points deduction?).
I wonder where John Still will end up if Daggers do go under
Ah didn’t know that, hope he gets a good innings. Quite like him.Not going to happen. John Still is almost 70 and has already said D&R is his last job. Not in great health either.

I think he was sacked. There are strong rumours of an imminent takeover (Reg Brealey of all people, if anyone else is old enough to remember him) with a management team already lined up. It has all the hallmarks, but why anyone would want to take over a club with such huge debts and so unpromising an outlook is a mystery to me.
Yes, and Burton Albion were interested as well. Lets face it we will be in a big scrum for anybody who's got an obviously good track record. I doubt we will be signing anybody that prolific unless his pay-packet isn't his number 1 priority.Think Bradford were prepared to pay £150,000 for him in the last window but didn't happen of course.
80 this year.
OuchHave now withdrawn their Player of the Season award due to the voting 'being scuppered'.

Apparently, the fans all voted for Chris O'Grady as a form of protest vote - i.e. to give the award to the most embarrassing failure in the squad.
The dubious benefits of being relegated on the last day of the season... (who won it in 2011??)Have now withdrawn their Player of the Season award due to the voting 'being scuppered'.

Aye they tend to take a much dimmer view than the PL and EFL on such matters (and rightly so).
Does make you wonder whether our ground move is all it’s cracked up to be. Chesterfield were being held up as the great example 4 of 5 years ago after they moved to the new stadium and cantered to a League 2 championship. Clearly that 365 days a year income from their conference and banqueting facilities hasn’t stopped a disastrous slide into non-League a few short years later. Maybe we should get the Selenity Stand sorted out after all...
That said, if you’re going to blow your non matchday income on £4,500 a week for Chris O’Grady, you’re probably not a particularly firm footing on any level if your business. He really is the 2018 version of Drewe Broughton isn’t he?
I don't think you can use Chesterfield as an example of why a Ground move didn't work. Too many other things going on would have masked any positive effect on finances the Stadium has had.
