They do it for criminals. I'm not sure that either DC or the EFL speak Elvish! Link to post Share on other sites

Utah Owl 16,233 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 On a serious note, the football authorities have faced assorted accusations of racism (either blatant or institutionalised) for years. Is anyone really that surprised when something as blatant as this comes out and is levelled at a foreign owner? Sincerely hope that Mr C takes them to the cleaners over this and puts the EFL out of business. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Blue and white 11,881 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Quite clearly the EFL have overstepped the mark on this and I hope the club takes them for everything they can. Absolutely disgusting statement. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ka58 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I’m more interested in how under his ownership we’ve ended up in a situation where we have to start the league with -12 points to be honest. Edited August 17, 2020 by ka58 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe after he’s won that he could focus on the car crash of a club we’ve got. Link to post Share on other sites
Emerson Thome 1,675 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 It is an interesting juxtaposition that whilst the EFL have been making disproven claims against an Asian Chairman, the two most outspoken clubs on the matter, Middlesbrough and Charlton, were both employing managers accused of causing GBH to an Asian they encountered stood outside a nightclub. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If the meeting was a tribunal etc the consequences would be immense. For such an important meeting with possibly serious outcomes for them to admit they didn't think he fully understood what was being asked of him is an incredible admission It actually shows how incompetent they are in their rush to tar and feather, then move onto the next case Seems like they are used to steamrolling through with what appears to be biased judgement (we have history with this....FF) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That being the case surely it cannot be used as evidence against him? Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a Gaussian distribution across the human race. 5% see racism everywhere and in everything, 5% don’t see racism at all ( because, probably they aren’t racist and can’t understand why anyone should be) and 90% can’t be bothered with it and would rather live in peace with our fellow humans and concentrate on other issues. We must I think remember that racism occurs in all races. Always has done and always will. We can argue against it and we should, but we should stop short of manufacturing evidence to suit our own beliefs, there’s enough real evidence that it exists. Are we culturally tribal? Yes of course. Are we culturally racist? I think not, but we might disagree on definition. Still, we’re all Wednesday aren’t we! I don’t care what colour you say you are, or which language you speak, or whether you see yourself as a different gender and that I think puts me in the 90%. Am I going to dress as a rainbow and walk round London in my pants with a banner? Nope! ( not in the 5% then). Time we all woke down maybe? Other opinions are available. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that the tone of the argument is meant to embarrass Chansiri and undermine him personally. Passive aggressive and yes racist ! 4 Link to post Share on other sites
