Our recent transfers-in and loans in and out seem really sound. With luck and good management we can do it this season. DC must have gone insane, if that's what he's thinking. We're so good, we don't need a manager. That sort of fooks the good management part, so we're riding on luck alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.. Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Nothing like it, read what actually happened with Bury, absolute criminal fraud and other illegality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I don't think money is the problem, DC can spend his own, but FFP and P&S "accounting" says he can't, so he sold Hillsborough Stadium, to himself, because Wednesday needed the money, and... 2 hours ago, Sergeant Tibbs said: We've been swimming in poo for a while, it won't drown us. Exactly. SWFC, for a couple of decades now, has been swimming in an ocean of s.h.i.t., but, these days, the "poo" is not as deep. DC is not a "corporate raider" as we call it here in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way he’d let a vocal minority on social media make him walk away from 150M a year and the kudos of being a PL chairman. People with money like him live in a completely different world to the likes of us and I can imagine social media is just the tittle tattle of the peasants!

Guest mkowl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Who knows, successful and wealthy families stay wealthy by knowing when to cut their losses on projects. Like others the fact the stadium is now outside the main limited company is just a red flag. Probably means nothing today but in 5 years, 10 years we have no idea what impact this could have. But football fans only give a flute about today I understand that, until it's too.late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I dont think Chansiri is suddenly going to all the plug and is not actively looking to sell the club at the moment. But if losses are say £20m per year since he took over on average that's already up to £100m. Chansiri is a seriously rich bloke but doubt he would be prepared to fund losses like that forever.

Mike Hunt Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 If people don’t equate that our recent losses could lead very quickly to a Bolton type collapse they are deluded, If Chansiri ever wanted out all he would have to do is find another mug who would be willing to lose 10 m quid a year chasing the Dream , and there ain’t many left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To such an extent that we may in future play in brown and white stripes to reflect that fact. People would call us the Brownies.

The only worry would be, who too? As long as it’s not someone with no football experience that would massively ramp up prices to spend on aging hasbeens to fund a few years of mid table obscurity and embargo’s... oh wait. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he pulled out totally he wouldn't get anything back. Except for that massive stadium he owns that he could fleece us for, drain us in rent, or could sell to anyone he likes for houses.

I agree that is also a cause of concern to me. I know people have argued its just exploiting a loop hole the FFP rules and nothing in reality has changed but I dont like the vibe I get from it. Maybe won't affect us now but in 3 to 4 years time who knows when you look at clubs like Coventry and the problems they are having. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 And yeah, the ground sale thing is far from ideal. Probably the last throw of the dice with respect to FFP compliance. If he doesn't learn from previous mistakes, then it will have all been for nothing. Still - I don't see a guy who is just going to bugger off at some point, throw in the towel. He's got too much invested now. For all his flaws, I don't think this is a guy who is in this to make money (if he is, then he's going about it in an interesting way).
