McRightSide Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 2 minutes ago, scilly owl said: The Chairman agrees to offer his perspective once, maybe twice a year and it usually coincides with Wednesday being in the kak and the majority of the fan base being unhappy. He always comes across as dogmatic, uninformed and intransigent... to me anyway. The message that I always take away from these little exercises is “ it’s my club, I’ve spent a lot of money on it, don’t criticise me, and stop being negative because I didn’t do anything wrong “ I think that he’s clueless. I think this is a good example of where it’s important to be balanced Some of the things you said are true, but he also took responsibility and acknowledged some of the mistakes / learnings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just stating that no firm in their right mind would enter a negotiation with a football club and the be surprised by a few negative comments. Yes we have idiots, but if honestly saw fewer than other clubs. I see some absolute rubbish get said about it sent to players, but it’s not abuse like you see other clubs get. Especially premier league ones. We have the you’re not good enough, not fit to wear shirt etc. I don’t see racist abuse, homophobic abuse, sexism, threatening behaviour or utterly vile comments. It could be as we have less fans, but it is honestly tame. There was a little with players taking a knee (I found some fans disgusting with their response), but again in comparison it wasn’t much. We need to get this “some of our fans are terrible” mentality out of our heads. With what we’ve been served for 20 years I think Wednesday fans are fantastic. Ok, apologies i must have misunderstood you post. However, i still don't agree with the notion that we have a tame fan base - we don't. I've witnessed the ugly side of our fan base, i've witnessed racist abuse. We have fans who take to twitter and throw abuse at our players. I'm not questioning loyalty here, we have a brilliantly loyal fan base. But within our loyal fan base there is a minority, like all other clubs, of fans who take it too far.

@owlstalk Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Anyone else thinking it's really strange that the sponsorship company only checked social media right at the moment they were going to put pen to paper? 1 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT IS OUT OF ORDER!!!! Are you saying that's how Chansiri is treating us after we've bought the tickets, and the shirts and put up with some terrible signings and football over the last couple of years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all think that but it's hardly a positive message to any potential signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
