Yes he is a wealthy man but he isn't that wealthy that he can afford to flush his investment down theshitter. If he withdraws his interest and investment and the club stagnates, the value of the club reduces and he gets a small return and that makes no sense at all.

Guest mrbluesky Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 DC is a “hands on” chairman, he’s doomed to fail, nice bloke no doubt, but having met him several times, he just doesn’t get football and it’s inner workings, even after all these years. We are stuck with him, no one in the current climate or near future is going to touch a club saddled with what would be so much debt, running football teams is a massive gamble, add to that a chairman who won’t listen and learn . He’s tried and tested the standard method of CEO’s, doesn’t like it, changed the clubs crest, ticket prices, thinking up ideas of 10 year s/t, club 1867, numerous staff have come and gone, was against selling players for profit( until it was to late), selling exec boxes at ridiculous prices and now most stand empty, chartering planes, selling a shirt for nigh on £100 and many more harebrained ideas. And guess what, he can not understand why we don’t invest (on a large scale) into these initiatives. Look at recruitment on and off the pitch, people will say you can’t blame all that on him, I disagree, he’s created a culture at this club, not a very nice one, In my honest opinion, I get told the bloke is very loyal, he probably is, but as they say “there’s no loyalty in football” and I genuinely believe he can’t get his head round that. And his legacy( if there is one),he built us a nice scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 who in there right mind would buy a football club right now? there will be so much uncertainty for next few weeks and months that anything below premier league level wont be able to survive . those players what think there lucky and still have long term deals on big money(not so many here now) will find that there clubs wont be able to afford there wages and no other club out there now will offer anything like the same terms , so before you could try to offload players now almost impossible. im expecting at least half the clubs will go down this route of administration ,unless by magic a huge pot of money was created to help the financial gap.

There is no hatred. And the Leeds and United thing is irrelevant. People know he is bankrolling us and the vast majority support the club.

Dutch McLovin Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I think he's lining up to have another go at getting to the promise land like he did season 1. Think he thinks we'll win this court case and survive in the championship. He has cleared the decks (as much as he can already) with the playing staff, Monk can be removed and he has no backroom staff. And he can then get Paxio to sought out managerial candidates and they can bring in a influx of players as they did under CC. All if FFP allows. Thats the only way he can get his money back as i dont think he can sell for anything like what he wants. Plus its been three years since we went on our spendathon and bought Abdi, Reach, Pudil, Jones, Rhodes etc to the club so they should technically not be included in the FFP accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow_Blu Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Got loads of time for him. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand how football works. He runs the club, like a back street, Bangkok sweatshop and the EFL have seen enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need enlightening, then I give up, but seen as I`m here, he can`t simply "walk away" financially and legally for starters, you`re missing the point, we are going further in to the abyss, again to say flippant remarks like "who`s gonna throw money at a football club" is just the usual response, nobody is going to, and that`s why I fear for SWFC, can you not see the club is a shambles? he isn`t an endless pit of money.
