Is there any actual evidence that he made his money from property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to imagine the meeting when they push a bit of paper over the desk and say "this is our price now, take it or leave it". Thinking 'these guys have nowhere to go' Our Chansiri pushes the paper back and says "shove it up your arse" gets up and leaves Love to see the look on their faces You've got a great imagination. How about imagining all the kids who got bought an alternative kit in the summer holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we'd have sued for breach of contract. Is it possible that the company needed a deposit at the eleventh hour? Was Club 1867 launched at the eleventh hour?

You cant be held to ransom like that - its the manufacturer that suddenly demanded double that have screwed the kids over not the Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley knock out their Puma shirt for forty fecking quid. Owls fans getting mugged with the excuse of FFP. What league are those clubs in?

A remake of the 70s Bukta shirt and I wouldn’t blink twice at £60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chairman made his money from drug trafficking, has put it into Wednesday as a play thing and is now skint. Deliberately messed us the fans around with the kits and hates all Wednesday fans. Will leave next week and leave us in the sh.. There you happy now!!!!! Give it a rest will you. We have never been in a better position with our current owner. Even though he had made mistakes we would be a lot worse off without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere in DCs statement does it say that one was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The kit fiasco was/is a complete fornicate up - dreadful embarrassment for a club of anything approaching our esteem to have messed up so dramatically with something so mundane and ordinary for a professional football club Each to their own and all that but the kits are shockers - and for our 150th anniversary shirt to represent such an awful time in our history - and a shirt so briefly worn - is disgraceful imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes it even more staggering the price that was originally wanting to be charged and which will be set come the end of November. Nothing passed on to the consumer and shirt prices go up again at SWFC. £59 for a non-branded shirt (technically) that has been made in house to ramp up profits ... to rip off the fans again however it will all be justified because the shirts have sold and no doubt the shirts will be priced over £60 next season .. Its been an absolute shambles from start to finish with this seasons shirts a complete embarrassment to the club and both the designs are horrific. Massive MASSIVE learning curve for some but what p*sses me off is that we are still paying through the nose for a shirt that was delayed by over 3 months!!!

I think, how I read the article was that we are making them in house, but using the same manufacturer that make shirts for the big guns like Puma, Adidas etc .. along them lines anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate the shirt design and recognise what seems to be complete incompetence handling the whole episode who's at fault for queuing up to buy it and reward said incompetents with record sales and in so doing making them think they are doing something right ? They are simply milking the blind loyalty of fans who feel a need to queue to associate themselves with the team by buying expensive tat Edited November 13, 2017 by steelowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
