Deepcar_lights Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 42 pound to sit on the KOP - Wow. The minimum it'll cost to watch us vs United when we play them at Hillsborough. It's criminal pricing, for more reasons than I care to post, but for one; The leg room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyone that tries to pipe up and say it's the money DC alone has wasted is talking out of a usually-hidden orifice. Like you say, a partnership. When we lose, we lose hard... both fans and owner. I remember two years ago complaining of our aging recruitment policy and trying to explain to people that we were wasting money. The number of people that responded with "Who cares, it's his money not mine"... it was like trying to explain something to a particularly stubborn brick wall. Well, like you say, it's a partnership... and for every match we continue to pay the top 10% of prices in this league while getting average Championship football in return is a loss for both fans and DC. Until either the numbers in the pricing table come down or we push to the top end of the table I think all involved should be very disappointed and lament the series of decisions that have led us to this position. I too was saying the same about the recruitment and got the same result, I said it would all and in tears, from the 1st season, we kept on buying ageing attacking players and neglecting the defence. I do blame Mr Chansiri, but for being naïve at the tine and allowing himself to be milked by people who conned him. All that is in the past, we have said players on long contracts, high earners and injury prone, but we are still contracted to pay them for the duration of their contracts. It's like the time with Sibon, DeBillde, Jonk, Hinchlife, the two Scottish players, it seem's we never learn from past errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) The great irony is we've spent substantive amounts of money on players and yet the team put out yesterday contained a handful of players to which an actual fee was paid. There can't be another club in the league with such an expensive *fringe* side. Edited October 28, 2018 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a proper thread in the “non SWFC news” to pay respects...and if you read through them you will see that’s ive more than paid my respects. I just don’t see why you’d use it in another thread when it’s a pointless comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 What to say about this. He spent fortune of his own money, yet we are in worst situation then before he took over. Takes some talent to achieve this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about people slagging OUR Chairman off, a few hours after he'd lost a mate. Doesn't take much common decency to just leave DC out of the firing line for at least 24 hours... now does it ? Anyhow, what's said is said. All the best to you, I'm sure you're a respectful person, like you said. UTO, and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly different angle though - ours was more "what are we going to do with all these players that aren't good enough for the Prem when we get promoted?" Seems a long while ago now.
