He's wearing golden handcuffs right now as he has to keep funding us - as if we go bust we will owe him nothing I'm sure he hates that feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we won that we wouldn’t be having this concert or in this mess now. Small margins and crazy how one game of football can change your future. If you don’t run a football club properly doesn’t matter if we would have won the play off final. Look at Hull....hardly changed their future did it. We are a basket case of a club, no structure, losing culture, and heading rapidly in the wrong direction. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone that's curious as to what Bladeshater is responding to, it's my request to: Help me to respect you and be more optimistic generally... can you point to any actions DC has taken over the last 12 months that shows he is beginning to understand what mistakes he's made and learn from them, where an investment in this club that will pay long-term dividends have been made, or some sign that he's learned from his mistakes re disenfranchising ticket prices etc...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Boxing day song makes me cringe ,49 years ago how sad ,That is all we can sing about ,Look where United are forget about the past ,We badly need a future .What is going on at a club ,When players are supposed to have refused to play ? When i am at work i have a contract ,That says among my work duties i cant refuse a reasonable request ,ie go on other machinery ,Failing to do so i could be sacked .Why cant players be sacked for refusing to play ,Surely they are breaking the contract what they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was well over the top, given we'd just scraped a 1-1 against York. Just our luck that when we find an owner who's loaded, FFP means we can't spend it. Don't know whether it's fair to just blame him. We need decent accountants. Don't even own our own ground anymore. Financially we are in a terrible state. I don’t think it was the 1-1 with York that was been celebrated pal...I think it was the relief and excitement that of been taken over by wealthy bloke who had decent intentions at the time.

He single handedly took a club that was stable into the mess were in now and also spend a lot of money in the process. He's put us in a position of financial instability, points deductions, transfer bans, over priced tickets, dodgy agents, possible relegation/administration and to top it off he sold our stadium to cover his own financial idiocy. We'd financially got into a decent, stable position as a club after all our financial issues over the years and now he's put us back in the poo.

In football terms he definitely isn't. All the talk about him being a multi, multi millionaire or billionaire is just crap. Also, anyone notice how far away he's kept from having anything to do with his families business? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remind you that we'd been stabilised - by the efforts of so many - before he came in. All those efforts he may have completely undone, and has stripped us of assets in the process.

He's an egoist who wanted to buy a big city English club just to show off to his mates. Sorry I have had a downer on him for a long time. His business acumen, knowledge of football is pss poor. His knowledge of English fans, and Owls in particular is pathetic. FFS please go before you damage my club any further. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
