horny owl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 As I mentioned in another thread it's DCs superstious nature that worries me Getting rid of unlucky stripes has really worked a treat IMO people who are devoutly superstitious or even religious are disturbingly unable or unwilling to change things even though it's blindingly obvious that change is needed. DC needs to hand the decision making over to 'football people' who know what they're doing and leave all the superstious cr@p at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstition is something to do with it IMO Its hard to reason with somebody who has unreasonable beliefs The stripes is purely a visual manifestation of DCs superstious beliefs His inflexibility on other issues may well be due to his superstious beliefs as well as a lack of trust of people around him I seriously hope not, but it would explain a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You can still easily have white lettering on a blue background and have stripes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think there is more prominence when lettering is on a solid background as opposed to a striped one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppers Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I suspect not. If he was that clever his dad would involve him in their own business. Instead he buys him a new train set to keep him out of his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 For all he has done, injecting cash into the club, Chansiri is one of the problems at Hillsborough. Perhaps even the main one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypnosisman Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's becoming more obvious that Chansiri is way out of his depth and hasn't a clue about running a football club. I see no plan for the future of Wednesday when they get into the Premier division. Hillsborough is no longer fit for purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy this. I think this is the line getting peddled, but I reckon TUF are right behind all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally, Dejphon Chansiri received family funding and has his own personal wealth. The purchase of Wednesday was a completely separate matter.

Everyone has personal wealth though some have a lot more than others. When I owned my businesses in China, I had personal wealth. For sure, Chansiri's wealth would be a great deal higher than mine, but how much is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I asked is that I, and a group of business associates connected with the fishing industry, have a very minor shareholding in the PLC. The assertion that the PLC Board put out to the shareholders vis-a-vis the purchase of football clubs and other businesses not related to the core activities of TUF , differs from your assertion.

They provided a guarantee to the bank which in turn guaranteed MM his payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
