This season is a write-off, we need mental alignment to ensure we stay in the division, plenty of players go off the books next summer, consolidate next season, push for promotion the season after. Good luck getting Chansiri to admit any blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem he has got with the whole " Honesty" routine. Now there could be good reasons not to go public with news like that, for instance alerting other clubs to your difficulties , but it's hardly being open and honest with the fan base is it? Then you have the questionnaire , then you have the fans seemingly buying Jordan Rhodes This is questionable " honesty " at best . So let's hold off on the honesty card. Maybe he was worried the fans would take bad news particularly badly? No doubt we would to a point , but Owls fans are a pretty hardy bunch and if told the stark truth , would be more likely to dig in, take a siege mentality and howl the teams on in what is now a fight against going down to the lower tier again. This could have been done months ago , everyone on side pulling in the right direction, Seems like the bad news is turning up for Christmas like that tramp in Neil's story Ah well ,get the mince pies out for the old duffer, we've dined with him before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 "I will tell the truth" says Chansiri, shortly before pulling off his mask to reveal that it was Sean Bean all along*. *only joking. Sean Bean's Thai billionaire impression has a Sheffield accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finney on the Wing Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The reality is that the standard of football we've watched over the last two seasons hasn't matched what Chansiri stated he'd like to see when he first came to Hillsborough (it's far worse than the Gray era). The tendency with Jos (and Carlos' final year) is to sit back, soak up pressure, then counter-attack. We haven't got the ability to do that with this squad - however, we can play positive, pass and move stuff but only seem to do this in brief periods in recent times. Jos needs to give the players a bit of freedom. When we were 6th we'd just outplayed WBA and beat Bristol City away and had a great chance to progress. That chance was missed and now the club's in a calamitous situation. Chansiri looks as though he's going to open up about the running of the club, now he either needs to get Jos to change his tactics or get someone in that will play a positive style of football - if we are to go down, I'd rather see us go down playing well.
