Speaking of Dave Allen, IIRC, this is the last year for him and the other former shareholders to have a chance to get their mitts on a Promotion to Premiership payoff. Milan took over the club in 2010. IIRC, Dave Allen agreed with Milan that he’ll get £1 million on promotion to the premiership. Every cloud and all that.

There is no long term vision for his successor to build on and, as things stand today, we have actually regressed in terms of league standing. The club infrastructure is crumbling. The stadium desperately needs renovation. The academy is not producing future first team players nor looks like doing so. All in all, the return on such a significant investment is poor. If the objective was just merely to keep the club ticking over, I am sure that could have been done without such a hefty risk. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our beloved club gets us out of said poo and receives nothing but abuse from people who know absolutely nothing about running anything never mind a multi million pound business just think of all the chairmen we have had over the last 70 years or so who have spent more on gin and tonics than they spent on our club Wildly spending millions more than the rules allow isn’t something to be celebrated. it’s flippingstupid. 2 years of embargo’s and counting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958OWL Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I get what you’re saying but all the risk is with Mr Chansiri, for the last 85 years we have won very little in the way of major trophies so how come Mr Chansiri gets so much abuse because he didn’t get us promoted in 5years people are now saying the ground needs renovating now we need better players who do we expect to provide the money for all this and still keep within ffp it seems Mr Chansiri is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesnt 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish had succeeded and achieved all of his aims. But from my perspective, I cannot even view his tenure to date in terms of glorious failure. He has made too many elementary mistakes that have ultimately resulted in the position that the club finds itself in today. I strongly believe that many of the mistakes would not have occurred with solid research and planning. Nobody should aim personal abuse at him. If that is happening, it should stop. Criticism is fair game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criticism is fair game though. He's been a total disaster and has us in a far worse position then when he took over. Yet another season is also down the toilet. If he sells it will be because Dad has pulled the plug on his failed fantasy football game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another season is also down the toilet. If he sells it will be because Dad has pulled the plug on his failed fantasy football game. I don't regard his tenure as a total failure either. We did have two seasons when we dared to dream, one of which contained some of the most exciting football seen at the club for years. From that perspective, it highlights the narrow path between success and failure in sport. With a fair wind, DC's gamble could have turned out so differently. I look at it on balance. I think that the negatives well outnumber the positives and many of them could easily have been avoided with a proper business plan and vision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 3 hours ago, striker said: I can understand if DC looking for an exit, considering recent events and his comments at the last fans forum. Personally, I dont dislike DC, met him at one of the fan forums, he was a nice bloke and while not ignoring faults and decisions I disagree with, believe he tries best and has certainly put the money in. My hope is that if a credible rumour, it's a planned sale and not a fire sale, which would attract obscure Azerbaijan businessmen or TV aerial fiddlers. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
