I knew that Paul Smith was sacked etc. But not the bit about the under qualified staff we replaced them with.

Steve Down South Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Owls-Fan said: Awaits a couple of members to come along with the usual “what have you done for the club?” “Why don’t you invest £300m of your money and see how far you get” and the classic “where’s the long list of millionaires queuing to buy us?”. Oh and the standard “careful what you wish for, we could be like Wigan” Sadly I reckon points 3 and 4 are very relevant and valid. I think he’s totally lost interest and would sell if he could find a buyer - many people would love a new owner but there’s no guarantee of getting better than Chansiri, regardless of what some of us think. My big fear is that he can’t find a buyer and decides he’s no longer willing to fund the club. He’s virtually no chance of getting his money back now anyway, so why keep losing more? Just hope he reads Owlstalk and picks up on Daveyboy’s post. It’s the only way I can see a happy ending to this sorry tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 There’s a fair bit in here, good and bad, that ultimately falls at the door of the manager at the time, and not Chansiri. Imagine the uproar if he had been involved in things like players getting dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of players froze out in the last 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Owl Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If I was going to spend 200 million on a fleet of expensive cars to be a successful premium car hire firm the first thing I'd do is make sure I had a brilliant team of mechanics to look after my investment in a fantastically equipped garage. I'd build an international team of experts who know about cars to help me find them and buy them. I'd bring in the best CEO I could find to look after the business and I'd have a business plan put together with top business consultants. I'd have my contracts for hire drawn up by a top law firm and I'd take on a marketing team who know the industry. That might cost me 20 million, the price of a couple of my cars. I know nothing about premium car hire but I'd not go bust. SWFC on the other hand has no discernible vision, infrastructure or strategy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how Leeds, Brighton and Wolves have built the club up by having talented, smart people running the show. All three now in the PL. Norwich City with Stuart Webber. I'm convinced that if we had gone down this route we would now either be in the top flight or at the least have far more to show for the £200m invested- which is essentially fizz all. It is an ego thing. DC thinks he knows better than anyone else. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went into hiding after Bruce left, popped up after 2 months to unveil Monk and has been absent ever since. I can't comment on plans, strategy, because I haven't got a clue what it is. The monk unveiling was strange. I wouldn’t exactly describe Chansiri as ‘optimistic’ in that interview. Quite bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the people who took over were less experienced but we wouldn't be allowed to employ people under qualified for physio roles for insurance reasons. Any injured player treated by them would be able to sue the pants off the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, even if I was knackered and jet lagged I’d have shown some enthusiasm for the future with the new (8th choice) manager I’d just brought to the club. His body language said it all - can’t be arsed anymore and really don’t want to be here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppers Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Well intentioned, incapable and badly advised. He has wasted a golden opportunity. Football people seem to not want to work for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
