edmontonowl Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Has he actually held a position of leadership ever. It sure doesn't seem like it. He seems to have very little idea about how to run anything let alone a large business. If I was looking to employ a Chairman and reviewed his CV, I'd be directing it to the nearest bin, TBH, and calling the next candidate in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's given us little transparency, despite these little dog and pony shows. We didn't get confirm on FFP until months later, we still have no clue why senior players are all frozen out, we have no plan for future growth, still with the extortionate pricing with little to show in return. I was willing to give him a chance. This forum was the last straw. Complete and utter testicles all the way through, and we're the ungrateful lot for not buying the official party line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Griptite Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 To be fair, misguided or not, clueless or not, if I'd pumped millions into a football club half way around the world and who I had no prior affiliation to, if I gave that club two of it's best years of the last two decades, I probably wouldn't just meekly reverse out of there without a few polite words of explanation, mitigation and deflection of blame for all that's going wrong. The whole thing ISN'T Chansiris fault, you could argue other things are symptoms of the affliction Chansiri has given us but he's not to blame for the players on the field underperforming, he's not to blame for the injuries, maybe he's to blame for other things; I'm obviously not as in the know as others who state as fact things that really ought to only be conjecture. I don't think he's maliciously spent money on the club, so whether he was the right man or not, whether I think he should stay or not, I'm not going to slate him, if he leaves I only hope he sells to someone who is perfect, otherwise we'll be going through this whole charade again from a fanbase of a club who have spent just over ten years of the last 50 being anything even remotely relevant to the upper echelons of football but who think we should be channelling Citeh for the title.

Castleford Owl Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Absolutely blind loyalty. Trust him for what reason exactly? He openly admitted he doesn’t have a short, medium or long term plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a league one club free of shadowy influencers than a championship club we can't trust. And get real. The very real fear of brexit and other global financial realities have made another Mammudov chancer more remote than it was 4 years prior.

poite Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 And here is the issue with people thinking that passion is the key to all success. All of us here are passionate about Sheffield Wednesday. I'd say most of us would still be awful owners despite the passion we hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I agree with most of the above. What concerns me is that he won’t sack the manager out of pure misguided principle. ”I’m not giving in to the mob...Jos stays” If he had done the right thing a month ago then his popularity and reputation would be several notches higher.

Possibly, but my initial point that many people seem to think that passion alone makes you good at something still stands. It's why people say things like "put Bullen in charge". They forget that we've done that already and it was a disaster but continue to suggest it beucase they think passion is the most important thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancers arent from any particular geographical background. You think all bad chairmen are non-UK? Have you looked down the road at Chesterfield? I agree with your first point in principle but argue that the greatest chairman in the world can also be the worst chairman in the world dependent upon circumstances and results on the field. Do you think the we'll all be fawning over a chairman who openly explains to us exactly how we're going backwards or do you think the fact we're going backwards would cloud judgements irrespective of how good or bad the chairman really was?

Harrysgame Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can't help that think the guy is trying to do the right things and is an honest guy who I believe wants what is best for the club. Mistakes yes, Jos being one. From a distance though he may think what has been achieved changing managers, look at the last 10 years how many. We are obviously in the crap, but he is the owner and not going unless he gets a good offer. So we can carry on whining and moaning, or just get back to football and try to support at the match instead of booing etc? It might just help some players especially the kids. We cannot effect the off field stuff, so we may as well just forget it and watch football. Whatever happens I go to watch football not the boardroom.

But this is an all-time low. If he wanted to sell the club because he's in a pickle, why not just do it? This bloke's a child. Really. He hasn't even got enough moral fibre and maturity to sell off his own bat, without blaming us. What did he expect? A round of applause? Nearly going out of business in the High Court was an all time low. Having whip rounds in the mid 70’s and just avoiding Division 4 was an all time low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess, reduce ticket prices, won't make any difference to finances and you they still won't turn up as will then complain about another reason not to attend etc. Don't know about you but sick of all this moaning, other clubs fans will read this stuff and think what a set of old woman, moan moan etc. We are where we are so, you cans spend your time whining or get on with supporting the team.

Ok, is he the type of person you would, for instance , want in charge of your pension fund? he wouldn’t do a runner to Barbados, but by the time he and his “advisors” had finished, it would be worth sweet FA.
