Ok we're in a pickle with FFP, but this stems from DC actually spending money. For all Mandaric did and do think he was good for the club, he didn't really spend any money, taking on loans to run the club and minimal transfer spend. Dave Allen...enough said Dave Richards et al, who asset stripped and used the club to further their own agendas. Compared with these and some current owners at ither clubs, aware i may need my tin hat on standby, I'm happy with DC and in no rush to see him leave I'll say again I desperately want Mr Chansiri to succeed we will all as fans love it but in my opinion basic misunderstanding of what he bought and where he bought it alienating all previously loyal business and commercial supporters pricing out POTD fans messing with the kit price, design and delivery getting involved with blood sucking agencies club employees leaving judging where we are now with a virtual promotion side out through injury or other reasons self admitted impending doom via P&S penalties a struggling manager decreasing home attendance 80m down the swanny are we better off even in league position than we were when MM left ? yep you're right can't see why people are so critical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said is he’s clearly a good businessman so he’s not going to just give the club up for half of what he’s invested. As the original poster suggested. i can't agree with you, but i'll not comment further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember, not so long ago in recent history, when we didn't have a pot to wee wee in. All we could afford to recruit were cast offs. Players were paying their own transport costs to away games. Bills weren't being paid. And finally, inevitably, the winding up order and a great footballing institution being 10 minutes away from extinction. And I never, ever want to go back to that era. So, while he may have his faults, I wouldn't rush to throw Chansiri overboard. Unlike some, he hasn't pillaged the club or broken it up and sold the pieces to mysterious offshore trusts. He hasn't been an absentee owner. I believe that he genuinely cares for the club but that through inexperience and poor advice he has made some serious mistakes. I just hope that he has learned from those mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's about the bloke I know who was left stacks of cash due to rich relative's but didn't have a clue how to invest it because he knew nowt about business?

Incompetent owners seem to be increasing is number. It’s time the FA stepped in here and gave more power to the supporters. Clubs are getting trashed.

Right now each club is one dodgy owner away from being fizzed over, and it will only get worse as the PL bonanza gets higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Don’t really know why any new owner would take us on to be honest How would Chansiri sell it? “Yeah I spent millions and millions on the club and couldn’t get it up, but you might be able to” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblueowl Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I just can't believe that Chansiri missed that absolute sitter yesterday and made that horrendous pass back against Middlesborough. Shame on him,shocking player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it depends what he's being criticised for, if it's for his naivety in accepting poor advice and his sometimes poor financial decisions fair enough. If he's being criticised for players mistakes/poor performances then he shouldn't be held accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
