Neon Nick Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Let me put it this way, do any of you think that Wednesday doesn't look better on the pitch NOW, than across the last 20+ years? Can anybody name a more dedicated Owner over the last 20+ years? I don't mean that sarcastically, I mean that in the sense as I'm looking to learn, that's why I'm on Owlstalk.

We’re marginally better now then we have been - in that we now are skirt around the fringes of the play offs rather than not getting near them. were still not particularly good though - and have paid a massive price for the privilege - including selling our ground and the rest.

Only thing that has let him down is his stubbornness, he bought the club with very little knowledge/experience in football, should have sought advice from people with experience of the club I. E. Howard Wilkinson, against all advice he chose to do it his way and with the sharks that ripped him off subsequently getting into a right old mess and wasting millions, can't deny the fact that his gamble nearly did pay off nor doubt his and his families passion for the club.

Nope. Leicester won the league, sold their best players and are astonishingly title contenders once again.

We are currently doing no better than we did under Brian Laws about 10 years ago. And to bankroll this negligible lift in results we've essentially thunderfucked the finances and put the club at risk of relegation via a points deduction. The squad is aging (we are yet to field a player this season under the age of 23). How is that new team going to be assembled if we have a transfer embargo? Some of our fans are seriously living with their heads in the sand about where DC has taken us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously what Leeds and Leicester did was nothing to admire. But then going into admin means they went from debt free to where they are now, and certainly in Leicester’s case that was done by prudent management and not being sentimental about the prospect of selling players for profit. We have also gone from debt free but ended up with lots of it, a few embargo's, EFL charges and an ageing squad with little resale value. I believe that is Arthur’s point and it’s hard to find fault with it, personally. Edited December 6, 2019 by Sonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big supporter of the chairman, Personally I don’t see a way of the EFL losing this , I think there may be a strong argument from the club in certain aspects but the EFL will have to find any way possible to make the charges stick , and Gibson’s gonna pressure them all the way to do so For me, this is the beginning of the end of Chansiris reign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how it all pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
