Now.... Instead of looking at FANS to get Chansiri out of the mess he's created and looking to FANS to shell out more money to shovel into the pockets of football agents, how about we look at the Chairman coming up with ideas and initiatives to pull in big business, sponsorships, deals from huge companies and local businesses who would fall over themselves for the deals he can put on the table? There's the simple answer. Advertising, Sponsorships, Stadium Naming Deal, Programme advertising, billboard and pitchside advertising. Instead of it just being CHANSIRI we need it to be all kinds of businesses, big and small who fall over each other trying to ram the cash into Chansiri's pocket because the deal is so good that he's offered. THAT is the money that will make a difference to our situation NOT fans money Anyone seriously genuinely asking fans to contribute a penny more right now is totally on the windup Surely any SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN would be all over the above like a rash?

THAT is the money that will make a difference to our situation NOT fans money Anyone seriously genuinely asking fans to contribute a penny more right now is totally on the windup I totally agree. But there's just one problem; how do you plan to induce Chansiri to do all of those things? You see, I've tried to tackle this problem from both angles. Last season, when Chansiri wouldn't sack Carlos and we were heading for the drop, I advocated staying away and starving him of cash. But that didn't suit. Now I've suggested using cash as an inducement to get him to bring on board an adviser who understands this league and British football. That doesn't suit either. So how exactly are we going to get him to do the things you say? We got away with it last time because Swansea took Carlos from us. We might not be so lucky next time.

We don't need to mate Chansiri is the Chairman and 100% totally utterly responsible for the current situation It's not the fans place to get him out of it Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the full extent of all this ever comes out there will be a lot of very shocked posters on here who keep burying their heads in the sand regarding the goings on at SWFC.

trevdi9 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) shouldn't have to pay extra ,the secret is get players in that can do the job the cheaper the better, paying over the odds is the first step to ruin but we do it all the time and buy crocks at that all these millions wasted on some of our lot , abdi for instance then matias and others and lets face it Rhodes never woke up and produced for what he cost thank god he is out on loan , and now we are stuck with the rest them because of silly contracts tbh the whole club wants chucking in a bag and shaking up and then see how we go , oh and before I shut up , the club ought to stop ripping off the fans in whichever way they can think up at t5he time , prices need reducing as does kits ,and other merchandise and add to that make the club sellable to fans and affordable and they will return and the clubs income would be boosted Edited August 5, 2018 by trevdi9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 aren't we still waiting for his "Maintain the high prices and keep a good squad" policy? Now if he said on Monday..."Cheaper prices will mean a different squad"..I'll jump at it We are maintaining Abdi, Lee, We "maintained" FF and Fletcher most of last season, We lost Hunt , Hirst, Clare, while paying this "maintainence"... What honestly makes you think we should now ante up for an advisor The fans are the only part of this f.ookin' club that actually works! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Not another penny will leave my account and in to that of swfc until it's ST renewal time next year. And if they've gone up any more I think that'll be me done to be honest. Why on God's earth should I (we) skint myself to amounts I can't believe I keep doing to line the pockets of a supposed millionaire from Thailand, so continues to alienate my friends and family from the club one by one, so we can spend £30,000 per week on Almen fücking Abdi to sit on his arsenal getting massages for 3 years. I'm at absolute breaking point with the club without the absolute dross were being served up on the pitch . Chansiri s next moves are critical in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
