However, as many are saying, the main thing to come out of tonight is that we don't seem to have a definitive plan to sort the financial mess out and the owner is still supporting an inept manager who he has confirmed is not picking players who have performed for us prior to his appointment and are costing us a fortune for doing nothing. I don't doubt his good intentions but his decisions and plans are what he will be judged on and it is not looking good on that front unfortunately.

He wants everyone to love him and is upset that the fans don’t because the club is a shambles. A lot of ‘poor me’ type answers tonight based on reports of what was said. He doesn’t seem to grasp that the fans won’t feel the same as they would if we were winning all the time. Bizarre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the new fella attempt to divide and conquer and charge extortionate POTG prices? £90:00 Membership - tempting. Bile, me? It’s the grey pound fella - I’ve loads of money. Might go to Hillsborough - or, go on a Caribbean Cruise. Exciting times eh? (not on the pitch obviously - £40:00 in August 2015 though?) Its a tough choice.

I don't think he's the devil incarnate as some like to portray him...but he's way, way out of his depth here. We are falling apart at the seams and yet he has no idea how to turn things around and instead seems to want to try and fight the world, whilst being in complete denial as to the glaringly obvious problems in front of him - namely the useless manager. Sheffield Wednesday: where it's painful to watch both on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think he's a decent bloke. Badly advised and a little naive in football matters but still a decent bloke. After all we've put up with in the last 40 years we finally get a chairman willing to put money in and a desire to see us great again and we drive him out. We will live to rue this. I genuinely feel sorry for him. And for us. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havin-a-hoot Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Man, this is sad news. I actually thought he was a top bloke - not as clued into football as I'd like but had an enthusiasm that made me believe in 10 years time he'd have the gained the experience needed to properly take the club places. I always worry what sort of buyer we will get... some saudi prince? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 It's true. Some of our fans are really stupid. Some of them think 'putting the club on the market' means chansiri is off, leaving us with no owner, no money and a return to liquidation. Erm no...it means he'll try and sell us for a ridiculous price and anyone who can afford that price will be.....yep, you guessed it, pretty well off. What's the problem exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
