Jim Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Unfortunately he's not up to the physical side of the championship as his lack of availability and performances when available have showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke and shambles wouldn’t touch the sides in describing how this club is laughably run. We were under a transfer embargo so we couldn’t sign Fred.....nothing to do with not being able to afford the deal but don’t let facts get in the way of a good story eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul..

Lord Snooty Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 In a way I hope he does go. Not really for footballing reasons. More to expel to the history books the random transfer fees that people make up regarding what we paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It’s just another example of our recent recruitment failings He doesn’t seem like a good fit for us, for whatever reason, so a move back to Holland might be the best outcome for all concerned.

Kew Owl Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 15 hours ago, sw1867 said: What harm could it do to give praise when he has upped his game. It may be over the top (isn’t in my opinion) but conversely the level of criticism he receives on recent performances is by far further away from reality. Some people need to justify their entrenched position just to prove they haven’t got something wrong. To top it all, this is criticism of a man giving his all whilst wearing a Wednesday shirt. " Giving his all whilst wearing a Wednesday shirt" should be a basic job requirement, not something to be regarded as a specific attribute that warrants praise IMHO, which is what appears to be suggested here.

Like a Mike Ashley I’d like someone with even the faintest idea what they’re doing. You consider Spending all that money on Van Aken good business? Or signing over 30 year olds on massive contracts? Maybe you should give Peter Ridsdale a call, sounds right up your street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer embargo doesn’t equate to financial difficulties.. cool story bro, cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is, Chansiri seems to have the desire to keep moving forward, despite making mistakes. We are in a better place for having him. It seems like he's learning from his mistakes, Steve Bruce is a top appointment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Van Aken is a classic example of the shameful transfer policy of Chansiri's current advisers. I'm hoping under Bruce it's brought back in House and Dc tells Paxo and his cronies at Doyen to get stuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we are in a better place now compared to when Chansiri took over. Mid table side then as now but everythng costs much more, had a transfer embargo etc. Yes I know we got to play offs 2 years running but evidence since to me suggests little thought was given to any plan if we didnt go up. Hopefully Steve Bruce is a step in the right direction though. More optimistic then I was a fews ago and will be interesting to see how things pan out.
