TUF is widely known to be part of the Chansiri family and if you recall when DC took over the TUF logo was all over the boards at the press conference. Of course this could all go fine, but trying to mess around with FFP in this way could end acrimoniously, especially if the EFL turn around and say it wasn't a valid deal.

No other chairman has ever felt the need to sell the ground and no other chairman has got us into such a large amount of debt. I think the jury is very much out on DCs financial running of this club. I do not doubt his passion or his commitment just his lack of understanding of the financial side of running a football club. These kind of debts are not sustainable. Where do we go next if after selling the ground we still dont achieve promotion. it's his money, NOT YOURS as he pointed out at the recent forum, your money does not run the club. fee's, wages and overheads are so staggering that unless a club the size and stature of ours is not injecting capital for a promotion push, is must stagnate (using the proven dingle and toytown method of jumping up and down on a trapdoor until the inevitable happens) and we then accept that wednesday are still a yoyo club, but now between L1 and 2. my guess would be he has far more 'understanding of the financial side of running a football club' than you, and a greater knowledge of finance in this world too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box_Man Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I just don’t see how this gets past the EFL. Arms length means no collusion between the buyer and the seller. Anything remotely linking DC and a prospective buyer will be deemed as collusion. There are plenty of mega rich owners in this league, if is was acceptable way of pumping 20-30 million into a club they’d all be at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rented from a landlord who had them evicted from what was there home ground. Once you lose control of your stadium you are not in control of your club. Worst case scenarios I know but is a possibility and too big a risk in my opinion. Coventry is nothing like this, they never actually owned their ground. They rented it from the council who in turn sold it to owners who had no interest in the football club, shame on them. SUFC is more like this scenario, the only difference is McCabe used it to protect his investment by transferring it to another company of his. No funds from the sale went in to the club, if he ever loses control of SUFC he has ensured he will continue to have a revenue stream from the club and therefore over time will get some of his invested funds back. Basically he's protecting his own interests and DC is using it to further develop SWFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its a generally held opinion by most people that Chansiri has been badly advised on player recruitment. What makes you feel so confident he has not been badly advised over the sale of the ground?
