But he did sell the club to someone who knows jacksh*t about football. I dont think MM did us or the club any favours, do you. 

no he didn't but he said all along that he would sell to someone what paid him 40 million and who would invest in the club, he didn't promise that the new owner would have several screws loose though

DC: "I have thought about [Slavisa] Jokanovic, but he will not want to come back to the championship. He is now a Premier League manager"

That'll cheer Jos up then

MM was a proper chairman. Would love him back. 

 MM came here for one reason to make money out of SWFC, he got our shares for nothing found himself a buyer and left with a big lump of cash..

At the end of the day he looked after himself......

How long we going to have to endure this though? Look at Blackpool, Coventry etc. This misery could roll on for years, and then we have to hope he flogs us on to someone who knows what they are doing. I’m totally disillusioned with it. 

 

There is nothing you can do.

 

Just bide your time.

Our fore fathers were made of sterner stuff than this.

Milan nearly sold us to,mammasdog, it only went pear shaped when his country's government shafted him not down to old tight arse's so called "due diligence"...

 

but he saved the club blah, blah, blah...  yeah that old chestnut....

 

 

Now, Steve, Mamadov 'is a good man, a football man'.. According to MM. 

 

So why should we question the sale of our club to Chansiri?..

This forum could and should have been over in two minutes flat.

 

"Will you sack Jos?"

 

"No"

 

Meeting over fans walk out.

 

I suggested a boycott. Nobody listened to me and I am tired, I feel I am on my own, and that is why things are going wrong.

Only Bruce entering with the cakeball can save this now

Jos's contract is up in January. Think he will part then.

Is this a known fact?

thought the term of Jos' contract was not disclosed...

So it's not about new contracts being triggered, but about controlling how much the club spends on appearance, clean sheet and goal bonuses.

 

Must be well under budget then....

No, go to game and shout Jos out all game if you have not got a ticket shout it from outside. This madness needs to end

I wouldn't waste the bus fare to even do that.

Can’t someone drill down on his quote about making £100m profit. 

 

With a rough estimate of what DC is balls in for, that makes the club worth around £180m.

 

Not sure about that one DC lad. 

 

 

 

And this is the key... he might soon (already) want out but he will want his money back plus more.

 

In other situations owners have admitted defeat and sold up for cheap (possibly with a promise of money due to later success). Genuinely can’t see DC doing that.

Yes two minutes there. He surely is. There's medical names for delusional.

I think the real truth to this is Jos is given a weekly budget to spend on bonuses. He hasn't necessarily been told any particular individual can't play but the system leaves no room for those on higher bonuses like Westwood and Hutchinson to play. So technically Chansiri hasn't told him who he can't pick but at the same time has forced Jos' hand into effectively freezing certain players out. It also would explain the bizarre and frequently changing sides as if he decides to start X that means he has to remove Y to balance the numbers.

 

So it's not about new contracts being triggered, but about controlling how much the club spends on appearance, clean sheet and goal bonuses.

 

Well we lose every week so he's saving money on that one

Ha

 

It'd make sense in Hutchinson's case wouldn't it, as he'll undoubtedly be on a lower wage with high bonuses due to his terrible injury record.

[Mystic Neg]

Sorry I couldn't post anything live. I was too baffled by most of it up until 10pm 

 

Clearly big problems behind the scenes not all of of which can be discussed.

 

Im very worried for the club and will try and do bullet summary later

He was. He run a very tight ship and was exceedingly tight on player budget, but it was needed and we were in safe hands.

 

The depressing fact is that despite MM running the club efficiently, we were still losing around £5M per annum.  The Championship has become an extremely challenging environment to be both successful and financially prudent. I reckon DC can’t believe the world of pain he’s gone himself into.
