I agree we could be far worse off and with a few teaks he and there, DC would be one of the better ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a dig at MM but we were going nowhere under him - personally i'd rather have DC. In fact if you put them together we'd have a dream team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Decision on Friday whether following weeks game will go ahead, I reckon if this gets cancelled our game against them is very unlikely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There problem came when they spent to try and get to the championship, but ended up being relegated to L1 instead. last season bury had some experienced players some who played at a higher level so there wage bill was way higher than they could afford ,transfer fees are irrelevant ,look at us we hardly had any transfer fees for 2-3 years but a colossal wage bill that's what nearly got us a full embargo and points deduction which would have happened if chansiri didn't buy the ground.

He's got his faults but he's trying every trick in the book to invest in us and as you said, we're in safe hands going forward in terms of paying the bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbahowl Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Milan never made any secret of the fact that we were purely and simply a business proposition to him & at a very dark time for us he was a saviour. What let him down was his insincerity when he said he would only sell with the clubs best interests at heart & then fell over himself to try and do a deal with the shysters from the Land of Fire! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, we had no money to spend, an awful team at times and still losing about £5m per season. Milan saved us at a time of great need, but made no secret that it was a turnaround venture on a budget. We were kept going to facilitate a sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you understand there's a difference between stability and growth. Funny you should bring up £5m in losses, because we've been losing more than that under DC...

jonnyowl Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I've always said about Chasiri, he needed to do two things, appoint a championship experienced manager and give them full control of transfers. He did that with Bruce and we have to stick to that! I also believe without DC we'd have no chance of making the premier league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
