The stadium is one of the biggest outside the PL. the best fan base Personally I think there’s a lot of positives in owning us, but it will be Chansiri’s asking price, or willingness to negotiate, that will be key.

Nobody who buys it is going to pay off these debts. What I am saying is they are not actual debts ( I dont think ) it's just money he has put in to running the club. There will be nothing to pay off when he sells it. All he will do is ask for a ridiculous price to cover his losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueOwl Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Nobody is going to pay any more than he did 5 years ago so he won't find a buyer. We're looking at another Milan situation. He'll get nothing, and somebody will step in at the last minute and pick us up for penny's on the dollar. Edited July 2, 2020 by TrueOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taximark Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Can someone please find that lad that once bowed to Chansiri about 500 times whilst everyone were singing Chansiri's name ....get him to bow him to leave! Oh I can hear all the 'be careful what you wish for' brigade now typing it... and I certainly didnt wish for Chansiri, he has been a total disaster for this club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 He's probably got a stop loss figure he's working to. Question is when he reaches that point (which could well be now), does he bail on us or decide to operate the club within it's means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceptionally_Large Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 2 hours ago, TodwickOwl said: Anyone else get the feeling once the EFL decision is final - he’s going to sell up and move on? I honestly feel after the end of this season, or he maybe has already start prospecting buyers - clearing the decks from a player perspective so no big new contracts hanging over if someone takes us on. It feels like we’re ticking over with Monk and he’s steadying the ship for the time being - trying to bring the youth in, work with the senior players with what we’ve got and get us on the home straight to staying in this league. I don’t see DC looking to go for it again with us - 200m down already, it’s probably about time he cuts his losses. the money he’s lost is incredible amounts but it’s nothing to a man like Chansiri. His family are in the top 40th richest families in the world, we can’t even comprehend the amount of money he has. If the league would let him, I think we could all agree he would be putting MORE into the club, that’s why we’re in trouble in the first place. we can only thank that Mr Chansiri seems to have a good heart and is determined. Unlike some chairmen. Going to be a long few years nonetheless. If he does decide to leave, we can only hope he puts us in good stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good time to sell one though, so if DC is truly wealthy, I’d expect him to hold his investment 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he still thinks he’s the best man to run a football club and hand it down to his teenage son in 5-10 years would be a worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are numerous areas outside of the P&S/FFP rules he can spend on. The academy, training ground and stadium for a start. Slower impact for the club than spending on the first team, but if he’s here for the long haul, then surely he’s got the time to wait for exceptional youths to come through for example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasthagotanycheese Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) There aren't many eijiots outs there with a spare 150 million quid to spare unfortunately.We are stuck with DC until he either runs out of cash or gets us promoted.

Yes we can certainly show a great turn out away from home, but let's be honest, Hillsborough is as dead as a doornail most of the time these days.

My point is we have one of the largest fan bases out there, take away dirty Leeds who will be PL in 3 weeks time. I agree Hillsborough is quiet but I go to a lot of other stadiums and generally it’s the action on the pitch that has to kick the crowd into noise at most places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funding isn’t. I think so far he’s shown a determination to make it work. I don’t see him giving cup for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk looks comfortable in his job, he doesn't and hasn't looked under pressure to me from the club anyway. I reckon he's had his brief from the Chairman and he's cracking on doing what he's been told to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton9owl Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I’ve been saying for months that the depth of our chairman’s personal finances must be starting to run a little dry. To explain my thought process can you imagine YOU were born into a very rich family, received a reasonable education but was always looking for an opportunity for you to make a name for yourself within the family but on a personal note you didn’t see yourself working in the family business, in short it simply did not appeal. Then through your sons love of professional football you are made aware that by investing in say a Championship club that have some good potential you could see your investment maybe triple within a couple of years if all goes well. You discover that several English clubs are ‘For Sale’ and you learn of one called Sheffield Wednesday that has a long history and on a bit of a high having only recently been promoted from th EFL 1st Division. You send your representative to check them out and they watch a few games, they report back that the support is fantastic so having checked out the accounts you ask the’family’ for the funds to buy the club plus a bit extra to make some urgent improvements to the ground and buy a few players. Over next couple of years while finishing close your new football team doesn’t win promotion and costs have significantly increased by comparison to generated income. To help Over this difficult period your family grant some additional funds but that soon disappears. Now the future is starting to look tough, your personal wealth and maybe a good proportion of the family wealth has eroded. The family now refuses to support your venture and your wife and kids can see how the ‘dream’ has vanished. At this point you should definitely be looking at an ‘exit strategy’ after all its only a fool that throws good money repeatedly down the drain. Oh and incidentally the Football fraternity are after you and your club/business big style.Today many of the clubs supporters are particularly unhappy with your lack of business ethics and the progress the football club has made over during your tenure, all that despite all the millions of pounds you and your family have invested. How long can you continue to lose millions of pounds without any true signs that you will eventually see a decent return on your investment The only avenue open is to put the club up for sale and take the best offer. i know what I would do in that situation, no matter how rich you are nobody can sustain heavy loses year after year unless you are supported by a government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
