Oh and the standard “careful what you wish for, we could be like Wigan” You forgot ten-bob millionaires 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pulis Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Has decided to lurk in the shadows away from the front line (probably a wise choice) but in all honesty, I feel like he has decided to accept Championship mediocrity and look towards a more like a QPR-type model (sign average players on frees and finish mid-table), rather than attempt another promotion push. Still if you believe Alan Nixon then he believes he will invest again heavily next season, but I’ll have to see it to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post daleblue Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 I think under the circumstances mr Chansiri is doing all he can, its not his fault we are in this position, that's down to the EFL, he has recruited a top Manager with experience in the Premiership so that we already have some one in place when we get promoted, the fans have to take some blame as well for not buying into the many schemes the Club have initiated, fans forums have also had a detrimental effect on Mr Chansiri's personal life, which in fairness he has shown to be above these recriminations, and has shown a great deal of humility when dealing with fans problems. I think as fans some of us need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Well done Mr Chansiri for saving my Club. I thank you. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StudentOwl Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 A good chairman has short, medium and long-term plans. He does this by going for short, medium and long-term investment options. He came in and did the pitch, the scoreboard and some top Championship players. It's clear his short-term investment plans were on point... very well identified the immediate 'wins' he could get and hit the target. Fair play. There was talk of leaving Middlewood Road, investing in the youth academy and doing up bits of the ground. Again, he talked the talk of understanding the medium and long-term 'wins' he could get... however it's clear he hasn't walked the walk in this regard. Instead we saw further money spent on short-term 'wins' (signing 'established' [older] players incessantly to reach the promised land). Over the years, that still hasn't changed. He's been relying on short-term wins ever since... and the problem with that is that costs the most money for the least sustainable growth. If you want an analogy, he's bought an old car that needs some TLC. He's provided a nice lick of paint with go-faster stripes and gave us some mean looking wheels... it looked aesthetically great... but nowt has been done to rectify the offset axles and the sputtering engine. Now we're just knackered by the side of the road. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrig Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 For one I think he has learnt the lessons around FFP, though he hasn't had much choice and learnt the hard way. In order to move forward he needs to work within the restraints set out by the EFL and will only achieve this by drastically restructuring the club. Start by hiring an accountant who is capable of submitted accounts on time. (I'm available have 30 years experience, contact me for a copy of my CV). He needs to get rid of Paixao and set up a proper recruitment and scouting team. The focus as many on here have said time and time again needs to be on signing young ambitious footballers, not who is tied to whatever agent suits a purpose. Move on players that aren't going to play for the club again, pay up their contracts, take the hit and move on. Allow the manager to bring in his own coaching team and structure it the way they want. Don't interfere with team selection. AndyTrig FCCA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I used to have plenty of goodwill towards DC but that has been eroded by his utter incompetence and fookwittery in running the club. I look at where Leeds and the pigs were a few years ago, both a shambles. Look where they are now. Can any of us honestly say that under DC our club will have a similar dramatic positive turn around all the way to the Premier? From experience and viewing how he operates the answer is a resounding No. I'm convinced that if we are to get out of this division under DC it will be to league one and possibly beyond that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 i don't think he understood nor researched satisfactorily the risks and threats that are involved in football investment. Certain people in and around Sheffield Wednesday prior to the takeover knew and took advantage of that. It would have been wiser in my opinion for Dejphon Chansiri not to try to change things so quickly. He got too many people involved in decision making from a very early stage each with their own personal objectives and agendas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to be discussing the success of the football club then Chansiri is the figurehead, the leader, the overall decision maker at Sheffield Wednesday So how do you think he's done this season? awful, thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbone Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I’ve never doubted his good faith, but another embarrassing season for us. It’s disappointing for me that Monk is trending on Twitter, and if you have a look most people are calling for him to go. Monk is not the real issue here and is a scapegoat, the issue is Mr Chansiri. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to realise this but I'm not sure he will. He wouldn't expect a footballer to rock up to buy a seafood company without proper help so he should look at it the same way. Sadly we're several years into his tenure and the penny hasn't dropped yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have agreed but the Chairman doesn't train and send the players on the pitch and decide the tactics. Both of them have a way to go before redemption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
