MAL Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 1 minute ago, ReadingOwl said: Sorry Mal - I’ve always thought you were a great poster, but I don’t know where you’re going with this. The bloke is a shambles and the Club is a disaster. Its going one way under this bloke. Thanks for the praise pal, you too. But it looks like we have hit an impasse on this one (we will get over it ) I think he is a genuine bloke. There are so many posters, just trying to find any little bit of a problem (and yes i admit there are a lot). Call me deluded, but i think he genuinely does want what is best for the club, obviously himself as well. I just hope he can get his head around it, and bring someone in who knows something about running a club, and a manager who knows something about football. Take care pal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send a message. But again, yes all the people that go on about the prices, have a very valid point. But, to put it in to figures (made up figures i must add). If the fans buy tickets at £200 for a season ticket, DC can invest £30m. If the fans buy tickets at £500 for a season ticket, DC can invest £90m. What should he do?

Do you think telling fans their financial contributions are a minuscule factor in financing the club is a good idea? We pay the most expensive tickets in the division and more than many in the division above. People already feel stretched and short changed. At a very basic level, surely you understand that making fans feel like their efforts to stump up every year is a waste of time is dreadful management of a situation.. Remember when he said he’d tell the truth and fans might not like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 His comment makes no sense considering the survey which suggested that ticket prices were directly linked to level of investment. He doesn't do himself any favours does he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twaddle Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I personally believe he has used the wrong word here due to his language difference and that is all. The original quote of 'your money does not cover anything' in some ways is quite a nonsense if you think about it. We as fans know that it does - as minimal as it might be. However if you substitute the word everything then it makes a lot more sense. YOUR MONEY DOES NOT COVER EVERYTHING. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldowl67 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 So if gate receipts are so insignificant why are the prices we are asked to pay so high compared to other clubs. I genuinely don’t understand why our prices are so high. Someone please explain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash76 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 He’s right which is why someone needed to ask how losses are funded going forward. Sod that though, let’s ask the same question over the managers future time after time FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Well he’ll not miss the money from all the season tickets that won’t be renewed then, will he? Another cheap shot at the fans who continue to pay sky high prices for him to turn round and say it’s not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His actions have brought us to a point where people are questioning him. People see what they see. The club has regressed massively in almost every facet and people want answers. At a certain point, “respect” and “support” is nothing more than burying your head in the sand. The time to blindly tow Chansiri’s line has been and gone.

The Wall Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Of all the things discussed (or not discussed) yesterday, this is such a nothing point to dwell on. From the updates yesterday (I wasn't there), this remark seemed to be made in response to somebody criticising DC along the lines of "it's the fans money". I think at that point DC is entitled to point out that that it's not just the fans money, a big chunk of it is HIS money. Sounds like DC was actually misquoted, but clearly he meant that the fans money doesn't cover everything - which is undeniably correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Simple fact being. If gate receipts and tv etc covered anything like the costs We wouldn't have lost £39 million over the last 3 years. Pretty simple concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
