This is what happens when you run a large company as a dictatorship. You don't trust people to make decisions. People need to stop blaming people at the club, in the commercial department, Joe Palmer. Every decision at the club, EVERY DECISION, is made by the Chairman. Every decision. That's why the training ground isn't finished, that's why we've sold a handful of executive boxes, that's why we've launched a scheme to lend him some money, that's why we have no shirt sponsor, that's why only a handful of local companies now sponsor us, that's why we've sold less than half the available tickets for Monday's celebration, that's why we're the most expensive club in the league to watch, that's why other clubs fans are boycotting us, that's why some loyal fans can no longer attend, that's why we are playing in Ipswich kits and that's why we look like we may be on the verge of an embargo under FFP. But hey. You guys carry on clapping. You get what you deserve. It's about time someone spoke the truth and said it how it is. Well done and thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcheeks Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 So going in house to make more profit actually means using some small company in Australia who can't cope with the order and so any extra profit will be completely lost by low sales because let's face it, loads of people won't bother getting one now. Lets hope this is a lesson learnt and DC is doing a deal with UA, Nike, Adidas etc for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Well, I have an inherent distrust for the Chansiri family (brother and father not so much Dejphon) because of matters far removed from football. I suspected that things would never be as rosy as they first appeared when DC came along but it cannot be denied that the level of cash injection has been very, very welcome to the club. Hopefully, what has been seen so far are just teething problems that can occur in any long term project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We're completely ballsing up the 150th anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 A date for the launch should have been set in stone before the end of last season for no later than mid July.......................an all singing , all dancing big glossy media fest with as many old owls heroes as you could find there to support the squad as they paraded the 150 th Anniversary kit............one that preferably was immediately identifiable as WEDNESDAY. DC has pumped in a huge amount of money to try and get us promoted, but surely after this debacle he will recognize the need to let trusted lieutenants do THEIR job.

No, perhaps he needs to flagellate himself until he becomes enlightened...being a PT distance chairman with his finger in all the pies he has made a right mess of things this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Stuff like this is why I have always been a little uncomfortable with the deification of DC in some quarters of our fanbase. He has made mistakes (who hasn't?). Just hope he learns from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Past Member Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Good, I hope Chansiri makes as little money from shirt sales, as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) A debate for another thread/ day, but I'm fast coming to the conclusion that the private ownership of football clubs should be outlawed. A key community asset totally under the control of eccentric millionaires. Edited September 2, 2017 by owls maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etchesketch Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 If the kits are to stay at the same price they should let it be the kit for a second season like the old days. There are still one or two teams that haven't changed there kit for this season. Rangers for one. If its our own kit we should be able to make the decision anyway.

Blue and white Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm starting to think we are cursed, we have a chairman who hails from one of the richest families in Thailand, has no experience of football or running a football team and it's starting to show. Only we could balls up such an important year in our clubs history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is only different because you run it at a loss in the hope someone more gullible than you buys you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing kits now would mean it was in the store for the end of the season and could be announced at the last game I posted last night after a big night out and wish I hadn't now. Been frustrated for a long time now. Nobody can fault the Chairman for his investment in the team, it's been done at an extraordinary level. But that doesn't mean that everything is rosy. You're big night out enabled you to vent you're true feelings Nigel. You posted what a sizeable chunk of the fanbase are thinking and saying and I dont just mean people who post on here either.

It was a great polemic. Of course when you get into the detail of the charge sheet some points are more clear cut than others; and some are more trivial than others. And there is clearly a whole set of positives to set against this. But the basic point is fair I think. He doesn't have or at least doesn't use capable trusted executives anything like enough. And that seems to be true on the playing side of the club as well as on the commercial side. This episode may well be a sufficiently visible failure to cause him to take stock.
