Bob Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 When DC arrived we all spaffed ourselves believing we were minted and here comes the promised land. He has wasted millions on aged players on big wages and long contracts. He gambled on promotion and it nearly came off but it didn't so we are now in big trouble and unless we start getting results quickly, we will go down. The Barnsley game will tell us if we have a chance, a repeat of last week will intensify the fans anger and despair, a win will change the mood. Only DC will know what he will do if we are relegated. I wouldn't be surprised if he walks away, if he can get a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hillsboro re-sale value would not be that good. Hillboro has two good stands, we need two new stands. That's going to be significantly cheaper than moving to meadowhall?

True No point in having millions and millions if you just spaff it all away Look at that Carl geezer who won the lottery in the 2000's and bought cars and houses and coke and hookers and is now totally skint There's a prime example of why considered and clever investment in the playing squad is key and not just spaffing money on whoever your advisors tell you to or whatever the reason was for buying Jordan Rhodes was at the time (ps I like Rhodes and want him to start banging em in to shut the haters up) Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either get big new funds now for quality players with big sell on potential (see Wolves), or we stagnate for years while kids come through (but think Hirsty). Finally, for balance, yes first year was great but that bubble burst when we bought some wasters on £30 k per week. Thank you anyway. It's now decision time for this great club and its community.

Sonny Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 OP thinks we’re bigger than Newcastle and the worlds richest people would want to take us over. Put this thread in that context and you can see why he’d want Chansiri gone. Meanwhile in the real world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the right thing. You want him to strip the assets to get his money back then? You want us to go back to trying to break even? Which even Milan couldn't get us to do? You want us to wait goodness knows how long to find a buyer? These things take an absolute age to do! You want to risk us ending up with an owner like Coventry? What you are saying is precisely the problem with football and society. We have a squad hammered by injuries, but lets just sell all the players we can, sack the rest, get new owners, just sack everything!!!!!! How about, you realise football, business, LIFE, is a process about learning, improving and seeing out the rough times as well as enjoying the good times. Carlos has gone, many got their wish, now we give the new gaffer and process time. Not spend another year or more trying to find an owner whilst selling all our assets.

Oh wait................ Mr Chansiri in my opinion has Wednesdays best interests at heart. Does the OP? Do you think he has his own interests at heart also? Anyone who thinks he is investing all this money for the love of the club or fans needs a good head wobble. I have no doubt what so ever he has fallen for the club and we are ALL appreciative for his dosh, but he is doing it to try and get to the head table.
