handworth52 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 at the minute we are not a sellable asset ,unfortunately we cant upset chansiri too much or we might not even have a club left , but what makes me laugh is how he comes out that he feels threatened yet he hires a large venue ,and just about any fool could turn up ,either he has loads of good news for us ie new manager ,new funds next summer ,ffp not a problem after this season. or his intensions are he hopes that is will become a very unpleasant night then he can justify to himself pulling the plug on us . I really don't know whats going to happen , I think he is very brave or very stupid unless he has good news. if we are fooked financially which im pretty sure we are then him giving an apology for blowing the money on stupid contracts wont wash . if nothing changes with jos by that meeting then im pretty sure he will be telling us about the very tough times for the next 2-3 years and about us all in it together .

Maddogbob Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Initially said no good will come of this meeting. Its now been made super big, could be absolute carnage, from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm serious. He's too proud to sell up yet. That would be like admitting he'd failed. I suspect he only answer the questions he's prepared for. Give him his due for agreeing to this, but I'm not sure what the fans will learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones who care less about the state of the club and only care about wining games. After that Who knows. Get gubbed by swansea and do nothing. Itll explode.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly, the optimist in me thinks must be major news, new manager, investment etc. But the sceptic in me thinks it may be a set up to have an excuse to walk. If i was a betting man, would think it is some positive news as if he wanted to walk could easily find a reason without the risk of fronting it 1k fans. For what it's worth I really think he does have our clubs interest at heart and has delivered some good times and wants it to work. Yes some mistakes but everyone does in a new venture, hopefully has learned and in his time out of the UK has sorted a plan for the future. Fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Personally I think he has something positive to announce. I really can't see why he'd put himself in front of 1000 potentially disgruntled fans if he didn't think there was going to be some positive news. I hope so anyway, because right now i don't see how this meeting can be productive. Edited December 11, 2018 by bigdan2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dronfield Blue Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 2 hours ago, crookesowl said: I have a really bad feeling it’s going to get ugly, and I really hope it doesn’t. Chansiri gave us two of the best seasons in the last 20+ years. He also raised prices too much and made some pretty big mistakes. So yes it is good and bad, more bad right now. But. He is our owner and there probably isn’t a queue of new owners wanting to take over. We all knew this season and probably next will be disappointing due to FFP. We all (well 97% or whatever) want a new manager. 1000 people isn’t a forum it’s a presentation. I just hope our selection of fans that attend keep it civil and give the guy a proper chance to explain. He didn’t have to do a forum. He didn’t have to move it the Octagon. I think he deserves credit and respect for those things. And he knows he has to explain a lot of stuff. So let’s be good about it and make it a productive night. That can be passionate but it needs to be civil. The last thing we need now is a chairman that has lost all interest. And don’t say he has already because he is putting on a fans forum at the freaking Octagon! Maybe its just me. Hopefully. What really worries me is the thought of league 1 football next year. That's really worrying. Something has to change and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me get this correct... For instance, an owner is allowed spend £50 million a year, go above it and it is penalties from FFP? You are saying... Have one owner spending his £50 million... Then just bring another one in to spend another £50 million as well. good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because unfortunately it's about the club in question, not the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I ran a section of a large organisation with around 500 people. For years we did 9 away day meetings with about 50 odd people over three days. Always went pretty well if unnecessary and boring. One year marketing decided to do a 500 seater conference centre. Carnage. It's very different talking to that many people. It was crap, I lost the room early doors. And people react differently too. Only the most confident or mouthy speak and there is more anonymity for heckling. Ended with people shouting at each other. Even when we announced an extra days holiday we got abuse. Public sector eh! It needs managing very closely to keep things on track. And then fans might think what was the point in being lectured at. Hope they get the balance right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to have meaningful interaction on that scale...bono thinks he can do it tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
