Blame the chairman

[Sheff44]

The predicament we are in is mostly down to the naive chairman/ owner we have.

 

He doesn't know anything much about running a football club  potentially sending a once famous/semi successful club backwards again. The sooner he's gone and sells the better.

 

Brentford were a lot better than us quality/ technically the other night, why are they better than us ? We were once a big club, Brentford, Luton never have been.

God bless ya, when covids gone, and the fans return,  u all deserve a medal paying those prices and watching that quality of football.

The chairman has made many mistakes trying to get us into the premier. He's lost millions trying to get this for us. I don't want to dump on him. Fans calling for him to sell could leave us facing bankruptcy again if he pulls up stakes. Who else would buy us with a useless manager and too many poor players? We have to stick with him as I don't see any money men coming in.

I always struggle to see the logic in putting this argument forward as some barometer of anything other than demonstrating just how big a disaster it's all been

[matthefish2002]

Think like Newcastle with Mike Ashley for better or worse we are stuck with Chansiri for a while.

[full fathom five]

DC seems to stumble from one bad decision to another. Surely he must take a step back and think these people who i trust to advise me are not doing their jobs and costing me a fortune.

A shake up is required because when DC eventually pulls the trigger on Monk's reign i don't trust him/his advisor's to get the next appointment right.

Id take Ashley any day of the week, at least he understands the business side and how a football club should be run.

DC recruiting poor managers is a myth, with zero weeks notice Monk was an ok appointment, it's difficult to argue that Carlos wasn't a success. Bruce was the best appointment possible, but got poached by him hometown Premier League club.

 

Only Jos's appointment was a bad one, & he had decent pedigree. 

 

Chansiri appointing poor managers does not stand up

I would argue Carlos wasn't a success. 

The club bet the farm on going up and we didnt.

Can't disagree. 

 

Crap management at the financial level and some awful appointments in terms of managers. 

 

Jos and now this bagged eyed plonker at the helm.

Agreed, recruitment has been the problem, as has the absence of a Director of Football

[SallyCinnamon]

His latest bad decision is backing Monk in the summer with his own signings and his own coaching team.

 

After the horror show which was Christmas up until the end of last season, any other manager would have been sent packing. Monk made excuses saying the culture was wrong and there were bad eggs. Chansiri trusted him it seems. 
 

So, he’s had time this summer to work on the training pitch with his own team and with his own recruits. What do we get? Largely the same performances. Beaten quite easily at home to Luton Town. 
 

It will be another bad decision in a catalogue of errors by the chairman. DC means well, he supports his managers with signings but he seems to back the wrong horse far too often.

[SiJ]

Btw, no chance Monk gets sacked. 

 

Will cost us too much, what with the coaching staff too. 

 

Another brain fart from Chansiri.

I'm no fan of Carlos, but being objective his record was good.

 

Most seasons 4-6 clubs go shllt or bust for 3 spots.

 

I don't think Chansiri s managerial appts are bad. Carlos did well, no one argued with Bruce & most were behind the appt of Monk.

He wasn’t a success, but at least Carlos had a clear style of play in both seasons and made us a very good side at this level. 

[TrickyTrev]

Our problems are entirely down to him.

 

He’s the one who has lumbered us with a 12 point deduction, a points deduction that has put players off signing for us which has made our task all the more harder (like it wasn’t hard enough already!!).

 

And the thing is it was all so avoidable. Reading the report from our hearing it’s clear the EFL tried to hold our hand through the whole FFP mess when we were on the brink of it and we STILL managed to mess it up. Numerous players signed for large transfer fees and almost all leaving the club for free, this summer you’ll be able to add Reach and Rhodes to that list.

Away from the whole point deduction and FFP mess that he’s got us into (and will probably see us relegated) he’s also priced so many fans out of following the club with ridiculously high ticket prices, shirt prices have also rocketed and the justification for all of this was the continued investment into the side.... continued investment that saw a starting 11 today with Van Aken, Odubajo and Pelupessey all in the starting line up.

 

In fact, I’d take the side Stuart Gray had over this side every day of the week.

 

This club after 2 decent seasons (which we are still paying for) has gone backwards since Chansiri came to the club and his failure will be complete when we are lining up in the third division next season.

 

How utterly depressing.

I never wanted one of dem foreign managers anyway...you can't trust them. Give me one of dem ten bob millionaires anyday...dey know how to run a football club no problem

 

[WalthamOwl]

Chairman, Manager and players are all selling us well short. From top to bottom this club is a shambles.

Top post Trev.

 

Totally agree, as I said earlier in the match day thread, the problems on the field are just the tip of the iceberg in what is a huge mess for this club.

 

Chansiri is responsible for that.

Monk was and is proving to be an appalling appointment. DCs refusal to act decisively when managers are failing is another failure on his part.

I'm not going to even start on his mismanagement landing us with a -12 point penalty with our next set of accounts still to be seen.
