Fans outrage for DC to ‘sort’ it out and give him a new big bucks contract immediately fair ? Well not necessarily fair or unfair. FF just had season of his career so could command a better contract as he was our best player. Abdi had barely made an appearance so deserved to be publicly shamed in my opinion.

SiJ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) The bloke will go down as one of the worst signings this club has ever made. In saying that, I'm not sure throwing him under the bus was the best thing to do, particularly as the bloke is still employed/paid by the club. If you must air the dirty laundry, then do so after the bloke has gone through the exit door. By doing this Chansiri has merely served to throw further gasoline on what is already a pretty uncontrollable fire. Yet again, he has allowed his heart to overrule his head.

I think Abdi, is THE worst signing in our recent history .. £3.2m for what .. 16 games and 1 goal in 3 seasons... criminal Was a great goal mind. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazapeps Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Another fine bit of leadership by our owner. Also probably worth noting that we've only heard one side of the story. Not that that stops the mindless idiots abusing Abdi straight away. Abdi can't be happy and surely it can't be good for the dressing room to have players around in this kind of situation. So why have we not attempted to move him on the last 2.5 years? Even if someone only offered 20% of his wages for a loan, surely that would suit all parties? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree with you on a personal level. My point is that fans went to the forum wanting the club to be open and engage with the fans.

Fans outrage for DC to ‘sort’ it out and give him a new big bucks contract immediately fair ? I have to say you’re putting up a spirited defence of DC across multiple threads, every time I open one there you are doggedly fighting your corner! Although I don’t agree with FF’s behaviour when he spat his dummy out about his contract, I can’t say I was mortally offended or that it was the ultimate show of disrespect to the club/fans. I’m much more concerned about the current state of the club, for which DC has to take a large portion of the blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A supporter asked a question about Abdi not playing. Chairman answered that question. That’s what we were demand. Whilst insignificant in the bigger picture it’s interesting to have the clubs version of why a potentially very good player isn’t involved. With regards to a plan I am with you 109%. I’m as worried as you that we seem to be treading water if not sinking. Seems like the plan is to sell up which doesn’t make me feel any better either until the correct buyer is founded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not great by DC. But Abdi doesn’t seem to have any hunger to even play football. He makes Jeffers look keen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's massively unprofessional and reflects badly on the club. We have no idea how accurate the accusation is and only have one side of the story.

As other have said its unprofessional and unless Chansiri can back up his claims maybe left himself open to Almen Abdi taking legal advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
