No...I don't unless he gets more investors onboard in which case they need to have a plan and achievable goals over the next three years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is he doing !!!!! Slowly, you are joking aren't you, he is running the club into the ground at a rapid rate. 3 season from being in an excellent position to being financially fizzed and he still hasn't got a clue what he is doing.

If he doesn't know what he is doing why throw millions and millions of pounds down the bottom. If he has been badly advised than why the fizz has he not woke up to this and sought the advice.of good football people. The man screams clueless and I for one can't wait for him to sell up, I just hope we still have a club to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it happens. Do I enjoy the circus and rip off prices around football , no not as much as I did decades ago. Football supporters are just customers now whatever our feelings and passions for our club, we would naive to believe that we are the main priority in the game anymore. Look at the recent assessment that all premier clubs could play in front of empty stadiums and still make a profit . The game has sold its soul and we are its victims, still blindly follow your club but there is a real bitter taste in the mouth and its been there for years.

Good point I have had shareholder and season tickets on the South for at least 15 years, but the 2 seasons before DC bought us and before this season I did consider not renewing and luckily for me its never going to be a money thing, the standard of football and passion of the players (at what ever level we are at) is what does it for me. If you break it down the whole point of watching football is to see your team score goals - that's where the euphoria comes from. Every season I still renew but I can see if I didn't and decided to pay on the gate, if we were playing like we have been for the last season or so, I may start missing the odd game and then that easily turns to missing more games if the teams not performing and eventually you lose the habit.

WalthamOwl Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Quite unbelievable we didn’t have deals lined up ready to sign. The club must have had an idea when we might have had the embargo lifted, deals should have been in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri has had it all his way so far, he had called all the shots lots of unfavourable ones and what has he actually achieved since hes been here ...absolutely nothing and we dont even know if its him or another silent partner or group that are sanctioning the buying and selling, we are all in the dark from top to bottom at this club I make a list. We all expected great things from this guy but truth be told its heartbreaking watching Wednesday now under him because the main issue is he just doesnt want any advice from decent reliable people on how to run a football club and then when he does appoint someone he gets a woman with a horrendous record on how to communicate with her customers, sorry fans. He either needs to shape up and swallow some humble pie or just sell up to someone who can walk the walk. Totally understand where the OP is, I feel the same even if were financially worse off in past times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think Chansiri should just walk away, take a hit and put the club into administration. We have a 10pt deduction ,get relegates anyway, that should please the moaners, and bring in some new moaners, a better class perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Personally for me I feel more disconnected from the club than I ever have. People can say we've had it worse, be grateful for where we are etc. But even when we were on the brink of administration and outside the high court steps, something still pulled me in. Maybe it was the classic stripes? Maybe it was the badge I grew up with my entire life? Maybe it was the fact I knew we had no money and didn't expect us to go out and challenge every year, Perhaps it was, for all their flaws, we had exciting unpredictable and passionate players like JJ, Sibon, Reda, Semedo, Bullen who for their limited ability would always give you something to be excited about. Looking at us now, I see a squad low on morale and commitment. I see that money has been wasted, I see the club setting a high expectation and not delivering. I see fans, including myself, being priced out of going. I see our badge change, I see our kit change, I see a gold elephant outside the south stand, I see our chairmans name plastered across the shirt and the north stand. All for what? A day out at Wembley where we lost? Maybe I'm being ungrateful, but I don't see a lot to be grateful about. That first season under Carlos was a joy, fair enough. Since then it's been poor and frustrating. Even that second season the football was dog turd. Yet the chairman keeps coming out and saying this is the best Wednesday we've seen in 20 years. I don't know. It doesn't feel like it for me. Maybe it's to do with getting older and finding new interests. Maybe I'm falling out of love with the modern game with all the money, tv appearances and constant analysis being shoved down our throats on social media. But for me the spark is no longer there. The passion has died a bit. Edited August 22, 2018 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
