Hands On Chansiri


Recommended Posts

I thought it's about time we discussed our Chairman and what he has done for the club to date. The best thing he's done is buy us, put some money up and make us a contender.

 

As well as that, some of the things that are going on are beginning to worry me, don't worry it's not a meltdown, just a review.

 

TRANSFERS

 

We are lead to believe that someone other than Carlos is in charge of player recruitment. If true, I find this very odd. Surely a manager knows what he needs and there is more chance of a signing being inappropriate if another person is interpreting what the manager needs. Is this Chansiri? It would be wiser to give Carlos more freedom to get the men he wants and thinks will work.

 

Conspiracy theory number 1 - The reason we got Carlos to manage and have continued to keep him on is because Chansiri or Atti is effectively playing Championship Manager with a real club and players. They employed Carlos to be the charming chap and the face of the club because he was the only man available that was up for this.

 

KIT and MERCHANDISE

 

For me this is a bigger concern. I reckon you could pay someone £100k a year to just manage this well and deal with it professionally and sensibly. It pains me to say it but get whoever is doing the Blunts, they're far superior to us on that level. The £1m a year we will now save after shipping McGugan off should be spent on giving us something to back up the amount of money we are shelling out to watch us.

 

Conspiracy Theory Number Two - Atti has been put in charge of procurement at the club after Dejphon saw it as the perfect work experience opportunity for his son. He was befriended by someone on-line from Australia who claims to be a specialist in kit supply. Elevate is an anagram for Vee Late, hence the delay.

 

TICKET PRICES

 

This annoys me the most. I do not profess to be a marketing expert myself.

 

A young family with no affliation to any side take an interest in football and want to go and see a match. Where will they go? Brammall Lane cos it's cheaper.

 

What is better, selling no corporate boxes at £×××××× or most of them at half price? Make it a fantastic experience, one they would hate to lose and gradually increase price year on year.

 

£49 for a category A game in second tier is scandalous. We are so rarely close to being full, why not charge less and get them in, more takings on the merchandise that you have got the £100k professional to sort out and the top level customer service ethos you have embedded into your club.

 

Conspiracy Theory Number Three - Chansiri is trying to save money by doing everything himself. This is most likely of all my theories. This is not the way to do things and get the club to change and grow. We are paying the footballers enough, pay good money to the right people to manage the club professionally please.

For all the outrage over ticket prices, we have higher attendances than in recent years. 

 

If you don't want to pay, don't pay and maybe things will change. While ever we are getting decent crowds, the prices will only move one way. 

 

I reckon DC is probably quite hands on, but a key part of good leadership is being able to delegate effectively.  The commercial side of the club is poor and I'm not going to flog that dead horse any further. 

 

I dont buy buy the theory that the club is a plaything for the family. You don't become rich by throwing away millions on a toy.

I am being serious in that I think Chansiri is too hands on. You can't do everything yourself in a business the size of Wednesday and there are 3 clear areas I feel could be improved if he took a backward step and got some professionals to sort it.

 

 

Have you written to him ?

I've clearly written this in a style that has been taken way out context. Should have left the conspiracy theories out. If I'm the only one who thinks our transfer process, our kit and merchandising and ticket pricing could be managed better then I will get my coat.

 

Delighted with what Chansiri has done for the club but I forgot that people think you're being a negative arssse if you try and highlight areas for improvement.

Keep being outspoken Tom, or else you'll just be plain Tom, and it'll make a mockery of your login

Not so quick to judge SiJ. Just seen Mr C painting the turnstyles.

 

Anyone else seen him busy? And if so, doing what?

You sure? 

 

It's just that according to the OP Mr C and jnr are currently on Football Manager 2018 planning out our January recruitment. 

 

Carlos is making them tea.
