Bluesteel Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 1 hour ago, WadsleyOwl said: You've enjoyed the last 3 seasons then?. Its been an utter shambolic disaster. No. But unlike you I can bear to take a view on DC on his whole tenure rather than being selective. For what it’s worth I think he’s made some bad decisions and has some odd ideas. I think he put the Cowleys off and Bruce had a tough time trying to convince him to move players on. I would be open to a change for the right owner. But I can recognise that there are worse owners we could’ve had seeing as we are not the first club to go through this. It’s cyclical, Forest had numerous seasons in the middle of the league after a few seasons challenging when financial rules begin to bite, Derby are the same as us yet most would suggest Mel Morris has done ok there. Forest are now back up there again and even with everything we had going on we were 3rd at xmas. Seeing as we were also rans when he picked us up and we changed that for a period of time for the better. I don’t think that should be forgotten just because people are fed up with the current situation. Time for a change? Quite possibly, but have we gone backwards to a worse state than when he arrived. I’m not sure we have as long as he does right by us on leaving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Do I think Ashley would put Wednesday at the top of his list for potential EFL clubs to buy - Yes Do I think Chansiri would put a realistic price tag on the club to sell - Absolutely not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you actually hate Chansiri so much you would rather have Ashley. Fair enough. It's about opinions. My opinion is you are idiots. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvin Parsnip Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Can’t even see Chansiri talking to him about a deal after what Ashley did with Bruce - but saying that we did get Murphy and allegedly 4 million quid so maybe he would do business with him. I can imagine DC wanting to really make him pay top whack for us though and maybe try and keep a part ownership of the ground or something like that.

Rodger Wylde Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I don't think Mike Ashley would buy Wednesday and be happy to sit back and watch it lose the amount of money it's losing at the moment. There's only one way to make sure that doesn;t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just think about the size of the Wednesday mugs we’d have in the club shop. I could drink coffee by the gallon. By the gallon, people! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoop Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The key to promotion out of this league is hiring a top manager. Ashley has always had decent managers at Newcastle... we’ll apart from Joe Kinnear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that point and yeah you're right,he does seem to have the knack of getting em back up,I'm not for him nor against him I'm just sick of feeling like this maybe it's just me but I don't see us changing under chansiri and it's not enjoyable to watch surely that we agree on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Mike Ashley is an absolutely AWFUL football club chairman, and would be the same at any other club/level Don’t really know why this thread has plundered along without many people saying this, trying to make out he’s some potential hero just because you don’t like DC is pretty phuking embarrassing aswell Edited April 30, 2020 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have more basic football chairman skills than Chansiri but his general loathsomeness is a huge drawback. I wouldn't want Donald Trump in charge either but that doesn't make Chansiri any less ineffective. Due diligence !? Not in this thread pal, There's so many straw men laying around in these 20 pages it's like the Somme in autumn 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I think many have said this in the thread and before ... Ashley - vehemently hated by many ... loads of posters on here saying "no deal! he's a cretin" .. but one thing is certain, he's a cretin that would certainly have us in a fit financial state .. we might not like how he operates on very restrictive budgets .. but we wouldn't be looking at points deductions, having to sell our stadium etc in order to be run right and not go bust or whatever Like it or lump it, he's a business man and we'd be a proper business with him in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjack27 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce vs DC and Garry Monk. Pretty obvious who would get us to the prem out of those. We need a change in direction and this might be the best way for Chansiri to call it a day for the benefit of the club and his own wallet cos we’re going nowhere, just doesn’t have the football knowledge and business acumen to cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
