Brommers Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 14 hours ago, TaxiMark said: You have to look at what he's spent since coming, ( wether its his money or a 3rd party who knows ?) the position we was in then and now. The price he is charging to watch this sorry bunch... btw was it really 39 quid in the north stand v Blackburn? The managers he is appointing and the dreadful football we have to watch. Not to mention his weird ideas regarding 15- 20 yr season ticket deals costing over 6k, he is out of his depth totally and its time he seriously looked at himself in the mirror and said I can't run a football club. Admittedly he's made mistakes but stop rewriting history. Appointed Carlos who got us to consecutive playoffs. Jos was poor i agree. Bruce was a great appointment and not DCs fault that he left. Still too early to judge Monk who came in without a preseason and has been unable to bring in any players so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embargos, point deductions, lawsuits, dodgy sponsoring, Club 1867, 10 year tickets. Completely worries me to death this bloke is playing with the clubs long term future. It's mistake after mistake after mistake after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slightest criticism and you are jumped on with "his heart is in the right place" "Bad advisors" "It's the players who are the problem" Most fans don't worry about off pitch, I get that. But we really do need to start waking up to the enormous damage this guy is doing to our club, whether it be intentional or not. It bewilders me how he's still getting so much support. There's this notion among fans that he's a bit of a lovable rogue, a bumbling yet well-meaning fool. Speak to anyone who's dealt with him will tell you otherwise. A complete egomaniac, stubborn, won't accept criticism, won't compromise, has to have the final say on every decision. Every argument against him is always countered by the same response - "But he's pumped in millions". His pumping in millions has led us to where we are now, and the shitstorm that is still yet to hit. The club is in dire straits, and most people can't see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I would be delighted if he left. Sadly I suspect he'll be here for a few more years yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 1 hour ago, owls maniac said: I'm sure he is probably doing it already, but he needs to accept his losses and try and find a buyer. The club is going backwards in pretty much every department, and it all stems from him. Sadly his initial outlay has blinded a lot of supporters to this and they won't start to question him until it is much too late. Unfortunately it’s really us that needs him to accept his losses and find a buyer. Couldn’t he accept his losses and just walk away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest it's slowly sapping my interest. The thought of another slog in league 1 and an incompetent owner trashing the club just makes it more frustrating than it's worth.

SiJ Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thing is, even if you do believe his heart is in the right place, that doesn't get away from the fact that we are an absolute mess and a lot of that stems from the decisions (or lack thereof) he has taken as owner. For the money pumped in, we should be either in the Prem or knocking on the door to get in. The fact that we find ourselvs as mid-table fodder, saddled with overpaid, underperforming, ageing players is nothing short of farcical. You'd like to think that Monk's post-match rant will have woken Chansiri up, but he will probably still want to keep the family together or refuse to let Jordan f00king Rhodes go out on loan.

Guest Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Its a simple question to those who want him out, How do you propose to get him out, he will never sell as no one will pay what he wants, so how do you do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's becoming clear he doesn't have the ability or the finances left to get us there. Sadly it's more likely he'll take us down rather than up.

Makes you wonder, he's either lost interest or no longer has the funds to take us forward. Look at the position we were in when the transfer window opened, quite a retrievable season with a few shrewd signings and departures. You could argue it's still not unrealistic for us to make the playoffs with a few additions, something is cleary a miss for us to do nothing, if cash was no issue we'd have had reinforcements through the door.

I genuinely think his cash ran out some time ago. You don't neglect the ground and facilities for so long if you are loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
