fred mciver Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 When he returns to Planet Earth, when will Chansiri learn that fleecing fans further is not way to fund success, nor Doyen , Abdi et al. We need to find and develop young players for now and future, and sell some for big profits. Also , this daft scheme only has minimal apppeal to regular spectators, while few benefits for our 300,000 fans / potential customers on social media. At very least , he should have also offered free shares (not new , from his own holdings) to make it a more attractive offer. So raising much more money and giving fans a voting say, plus big financial uplift if we get into EPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sort out the financials to keep out of trouble with FFP, how much can Mr Chansiri and the club actually spend? Will it be a couple of million, five, or unlimited? 350k Not a penny more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 For those wondering what's it's like when a dictator stops part - funding his club, see Netflix documentary about Sunderland last season. So many parallels with us it's frightening, like Rodwell on £60,000 a week but doing nowt. And they have parachute payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the ground is always half empty. This chairman needs to give his head a shake. The club is killing off POTG support and once fans are out of the habit, it’s very hard to get them back.

matthefish2002 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I have had a couple of days to digest this scheme and more I think about it less I like it. Just comes across as playing on people loyalty towards the club and not for the first time. Would I like to see Sheffield Wednesday in the Premier League? Of course I would be its not the be all and end all that I think its worth gambling with future season ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodwell is probably in a similar position to what Abdi is with us. I actually felt a bit sorry for Rodwell, it’s not his fault he was offered stupid wages at a club that he is never going to get elsewhere, so why would or should he have just left? The blame should always lie at the people who gave him that ridiculous contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyto Alba Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Chansiris family have bought him a toy to play with and its us. If the man cared about Wednesday even a little bit, he would be thinking about running us in a sustainable way, about attracting the next generation of fans, getting local businesses into the corporate boxes, generating goodwill and getting some local sponsorship however small to begin with. Instead he has put his picture up everywhere, alienated everybody, run the club like a financial basket case and priced out the next generation of support. Its beyond crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Might it have just been better to start the scheme from 2 years upto 5 and whichever option you chose would guarantee you a ST if we go up? If you went for the 5 year option for instance it would be 5 years free ST. That could end up being 3 years in the championship, 1 in the PL then back down to the championship for year 5 (if relegated) Price wise you could have gone for £300 kop, £350 north stand and £400 South and grandstand. Given that ticket revenue makes very little for clubs in the PL because of the TV deal it's not like we would suffer for it. If 21000 ST were sold in different parts of the ground using an average of 7000 per stand (Very high I know) on 2 year deals that would generate over £14 million? Obviously if more than 2 year deals were taken it would generate even more. Lower the corp boxes, get an outside shirt sponsor and or maker and that would help further. I know it's easy to criticise the current deal but it does seem like they could have done it better.

Bassetts Allsorts Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Our supporters are actually giving their blessing for the chairman to sell our best players to generate funds. In my opinion, that proves that this is the ONLY solution to avoiding an embargo in the summer. We've got to take one step back to take two steps forward. It is that simple. Accept the gamble didn't pay off, learn from previous mistakes, and set out a 3-5 year plan outlining how we are going to challenge again while utilising ALL revenue streams using a sensible pricing structure to generate the funds needed to build a squad capable of challenging for the top 6. The squad needs rebuilding, and Bruce is certainly capable of overseeing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
