I remember all those sheffield businessmen queuing up to invest when we were in the high court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His family own or having the controlling stake in Thai Union Food; a company worth billions. It's not exactly inconceivable that he's had money given to him from his family, is it? You've just informed us a few pages back that he's sticking 400,000k in every week, month or whatever to keep us running. There's a difference between being concerned and outright lying and scaremongering. Sadly, you seem to indulge in the latter on a consistent basis.

Walt Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 How do these figures effect the transfer policy that we were asked to vote on? Putting aside the loaded gun questioning the the vote was in effect to keep on paying top dollar ticket prices for better players on higher wages. Can we keep on with this policy or does there need to be a cull / change in direction? How does DC square the ticket prices if we were to ship out the big earners for cheaper alternatives?

Did you catch Mr Chansiri with your Mrs or something? I've agreed with a fair few of your points in the past but you're going after him like he's the devil incarnate. I don't think anyone's suggesting that he's not made some (serious) mistakes/judgments but I don't for one second doubt his intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is that Chansiri clearly has some cash, despite what Geoffrey tries to tell us. genuine question what makes a guy with by his own admission no experience in football, fly several thousand miles several times a tear spend an absolute fortune (that is by all known figures a very big percentage of his known wealth) . He says he's 150m in MK say 100m what's 50m between 'family' By any persons measure that's a lot of money spent on something you know nothing about and sack any advisors you had. I am not questioning his good intention but I think judgement may be up for examination though 10 minutes ago, SiJ said: Thiraphong Chansiri (President and CEO) Kraisorn Chansiri (Chairman) your point is? it's still 24% the family have - DC has virtually no influence if that's your point in fact due to the TUF logo on the noticeboard at the purchase a statement was made by TUF now TU that they are not involved as a company now whether this is pocket money given to him to have a play, I have no idea but I seriously doubt it Edited March 2, 2018 by steelowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
