That I keep them here because they are like family. Why would I do either of those things as chairman of a football club? I have never done that or said that. I have said we are a family club but never that the players are like family. Think the misunderstanding might have started with Carlos saying this... https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/chansiri-wants-keep-sheffield-wednesday-family-intact-says-carvalhal-1767590 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleblue Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So in a nutshell, we recruited who the Manager wanted, but some didn't make the grade. Not happy with that, but if that's his answer, going to have to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see it like that, trust is a big thing in (especially) South East Asian business relationships.

DeeJayOne Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 "But with FFP becoming an issue, we could have been in a situation where we could not buy a replacement. Carlos did not want to sell Fernando and the transfer fee would have had to cover FFP, which it did not." It confused on this one - are we judging an individual player's value on the club's overall FFP situation? (i.e. if we're £10million behind on FFP as a club a player is then automatically valued at >£10million if an offer comes in) SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Back in Jan 2019 the Chairman said this.. Some people think I want promotion to make a profit but the investment required to stay in the Premier League makes that impossible and it was never my intention anyway. It would probably take four or five years in the Premier League to break even and then more before anyone could even think about profit. So as an owner, until many years down the line, I lose either way. But I do not have a problem with that, I knew this would be the case when I bought our club. I could have made a profit in the Championship already if I really wanted to by not buying the players or buying players and selling them for much more. But I never wanted to do that. I wanted the best for our fans and our club because I have commitment and responsibility as the chairman and owner. If I thought that way, it would be much easier to manage Wednesday.

Im confused He’s boasting of Paxaio’s recruitment achievements but then when asked if we have made mistakes shovels responsibility onto the manager?

torres Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) We all know on a whole the recruitment and the selling of players has been poor - can't get away from that fact I think this highlights DC trying to get as many voices involved as possible to help - but they have just muddied the waters, one way or another. Personally, while the buck stops with DC as he ''writes the cheques'' i have more sympathy (not total sympathy) with him on this front than all the other matters as to be fair he's pumped more money in than anyone in my lifetime knowing nothing about football and has been let down massively by others with ''more knowledge'' It's the off field matters that have broken the trust with me Edited March 20, 2020 by torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have one of the lowest amounts of money generated from player sales. Atmospheres are booming and the fans are happy.
