Steve Moss Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Wow. Will this hurt the Rover's league standing? Are we allowed to terminate DJ Campbell's contract or do we have to wait for a conviction?
JMillZz Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 I don't think so, from what I gather it's regarding a yellow card which is purely on an individual basis. Not as if they can penalize the club for being a poor judge of character is it? Well, at least I am hoping not! I imagine we will have to wait until any allegations are proven fruitful or not.
Backroom Tom Posted December 9, 2013 Backroom Posted December 9, 2013 Disgusting DJ If true then and we have proof then get him out at all costs
CapeTownRover Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 hmmm, if he is proven guilty then why am i not surprised. we really could have done without this, as we have been through enough nonsense as it is with Venkys
Backroom Tom Posted December 9, 2013 Backroom Posted December 9, 2013 Not read the article but if it was the Ipswich game last week I wouldn't be shocked, it's one of the few times he's started and was booked early seemingly pointlessly and a few commented at the time Or are these historic allegations?
G Somerset Rover Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 All we can pray for now is that his rude boy 'bruv' Leon Best is found to be implicated too and we'll be laughing. So long as they don't throw the book at us too... .
CapeTownRover Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 i dont think the club will be implicated in this, unless of course the club were somehow involved. the club will have to seriously look at this, because its ridiculous. if DJ is found guilty, then the club will have no option but to get rid of him. we dont have time for this right now, esp if there is a very small chance of a playoff position
pick32 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Hopefully we can terminate his contract now, lets hope he roped best and ethuhu in aswel.
Mike Graham Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I wonder if he has been betting on himself scoring goals? He would have lst a fortune!
arbitro Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 If it's a reason to sack him then it is excellent news. In fact I'm quite elated.
patrickvalery Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Will it ever stop raining?I've said it before but every time something like this happens to us its an opportunity for the supporters trust to get in some good PR. After the protests under Kean our name was mud. I think a lot of the media and journalists now realise that we were justified. But the general consensus among the common man is Rovers fans deserve all we get. If the supporters trust box clever then we become the victims. Pomey fans mark II. Sky, Talksport etc... would be falling over themselves to hear our plight and sing our praises. That would be my approach. A bigger audience, a bigger presence and a louder voice. Might even open a few doors in terms of potential investment too.As for Dj. Maybe he has done it. Maybe he hasn't. But at the end of the day he's been crap, he's got gold teeth and goes by the name of Dj. If this gives us the chance to sack him then im fine with that.
Stuart Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Sky, Talksport etc... would be falling over themselves to hear our plight and sing our praises. I semriously doubt that...
Tardyrover Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Every time he's played this season he's been like a bull in a china shop, this explains a lot. The red card at blackpool.............
pick32 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Hopefully we sue him for transfer fee and wages aswel.
JAL Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Can there be any substance to this as the Lancashire Telegraph aren't running the story this morning.
Ricky Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 If it's true we can cancel his contract which has to be a bloody positive!
Ossydave Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 The LET haven't had their finger on the pulse since the legend Peter White passed away.... I think it's going to come to light now that betting scams are absolutely rife in this country. The leagues are already flooded with journeymen that are only concerned with cash and there are so many ridiculous things you can bet on like bookings, corners etc its massively open to abuse.
Ricky Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Agree Ossy. One player can't really fix a score but can easily get an early yellow card or kick the ball out for a throw in. Doesn't really need to be a number of team mates involved. Be really nice if it was DJ, Best and Etuhu though
pick32 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 They should look at Madeley for the Brighton game.
JAL Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Good , now we can terminate his contract ! Its dammed annoying that Rovers signed him. The club kept it very quiet and low key when DJ was signed. How long will the fans to keep paying to support people like this ?
