You're right about how good it is and it would be great if more people would go there as I dont' want to lose it from Hillsborough. I'm calm now I'm well into a box of Celebrations Not the 'milky way' ones though I'm picking out the snickers ones Have a great one mate - and up the owls Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 39 minutes ago, mkowl said: The hypothesis is that DC and CC chatted, He offered to leave but DC wanted him to sleep on it. Cue DC getting wound up that us the fans have almost forced a decision upon him when the reality is he has probably never had any dissent to his views before. Perhaps in Thai culture that would never happen from folk not at the same financial level and where there is less respect to those that just because they are richer think they are better Are we to assume that DC wanted Carlos to remain in post despite the performances and current league position? If so that is very worrying. I'm all for loyalty but in this case enough was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a club into the Premier League and everyone will love me and be singing my name. Dont think he fully understood that if things dont go to plan some people are not shy of giving you a bit of stick. Probably because he is that well off he is used to people bowing and scraping to him all the time and cant cope after spending millions he is not flavour of the month anymore. As a consequence he has thrown a strop and his statement was very badly written and cringeworthy. Vanity certainly, but more importantly and the promise of PL riches from middlemen an advisers taking their cut from these type of deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have been incredibly tolerant Fans have been rumbling about getting shut of CC since before the Huddersfield game, if you haven’t seen of heard it, then the answer to my question is blinkers!

Even if Carlos doesnt read social media he has been at enough clubs to get a vibe when fans are not happy with what they are seeing on the pitch.

DeeJayOne Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The biggest worry for me about the statement is... what the hell were the press/PR team thinking in allowing it to be published?! They knew CC would be going at that point and therefore the statement was unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. It was an emotional rant and first rule of PR is you never make a quick statement on pure emotion. Surely Trevor or somebody had the sense to take DC to one side and advise him it was a bad idea?! Or to sleep on it and draft a different, more objective, statement for when CC leaving was officially announced in the morning. And, even so, surely the version we’re reading is sanitised from what the original was?! And it still remains rambling and ranty. I’d go as far as to say that DC’s bizarre early hours rambling rant statement is up there with the very worst of any decision having been made at the club since he arrived.

Bluesteel Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It’s bad/embarrassing when a statement aired the dirty washing in public, but I think it was aimed more at those being abusive. The thing is though, that will not change even though it’s wrong. Any decent sized club that hasn’t had any success will have a percentage who think that is acceptable and no statement will prevent it. If you buy a Wednesday, Leeds, Sunderland or Villa this is what you have to take on the chin and rise above it. It’s a shame but it’s the sad reality now that many fans feel that they are owed something and the gap between the fans and football owners, managers and players increases. Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment of the OP. Both Carlos and DC have had a tendency to see things how they would like to see it. If we are winning games it will be just about palatable but if not then they will feel the heat for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no idea how that would ever work though Ranting about it to the whole fanbase just alienates them and confuses them It won't ever solve the issue either. Those being abusive are doing so because they aren't articulate or responsible enough to express themselves in any other way and the rest of the fanbase won't change that. It's just incredibly naive from the chairman and even worse it brings the whole fanbase into it which is unfair to those fans who haven't been abusive and would never be. There are thousands and thousands of decent, honest, great fans of ours that have been incredibly tolerant and patient this season (There were even queues for the new shirt when it went on sale months late without stripes etc etc) who just don't need to hear about the chairman's personal spat with some geezers on twitter shouting their mouths off at him This statement wasn't just ill informed, poorly constructed and ill advised - it was a bad move and one that has upset many ordinary fans who don't ever deserve upsetting.
