He doesn't know us,doesn't understand us and the sooner he moves out the better. I realise it's not as simple as just " moving out" but I fear that with him at the helm for too much longer there won't be anything left. Just an opinion from an ageing Owl and I accept there are others to the contrary. 100% this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It’s all well and good asking for him to leave....but who else will buy us, and who else will be willing to fund the losses. I get that fans are upset, but he could quite easily lose interest tomorrow and put us into admin. That would she a sure way for him to be “out”. Personally I’d be happy for him to stay, continue to invest...but with proper football people around him. He needs to grow the pet shop up and get the help this club needs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business’s are booming. i am a business owner and our turnover will double that of last year, even with 6 weeks off due to COVID Can you imagine Chansiri trying to fill the ground when fans are allowed back with heavy discounts, kids 4 a quid, £100 for 4 game offers. Giving something back to the fans during uncertain times. People have money to spent and are desperate for football, will he capitalise on that or stick to his £40 pay on the gate system. Will he knock shirts out at £35 a pop or the usual £60 pricing many out. Will membership prices reflect good value for money at around £30/£40 or will they stay at whatever ridiculous price they are now.

vulture_squadron Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 What a fool he's been. If I he comes out and admits his mistakes, and shows some kind of an idea how to move forward, I'd perhaps be willing to back him. Up to now he's shown no idea whatsoever that he has a plan or a team around him that can run a football club properly. People talk about the Wembley season but remember the circus around appointing the manager and the transfer committee at the start of that season... Did he just get lucky? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl Be Back Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Chansiri is an incompetent businessman, who knows nothing about football. This club is a shambles and his actions have put its future at risk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KivoOwl Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Wednesday could be playing in the in the Northern Counties League at Hillsborough Park in front of 300 people paying £90 a ticket, and some fans would still be saying Chansiri will learn, and has just been badly advised, and we'll turn it around, and we just need a bit of luck, and so on and so on until the end of time. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fit fences or do gardening happy days but if you work in leisure and tourism you’re screwed. Fact is there is an employment crisis and people are losing jobs daily. The economy is shrinking fast and we will be struggling for years to recover. So to have a committed chairman with a healthy bank account is critical right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Out. He's tarnished our reputation, he's darkened the name of Sheffield Wednesday and the standing of our club among our peers, and he's stripped us of our home to pay for this service. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
