Nut Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 So easy to make this up to deflect criticism and make himself appear he knows what he's doing. By the way, Thai Union Group have just announced record profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Trevor Francis could have signed for Forest for £999,999.99 and still not have cost a million pound? Or I may be talking round un's! He did.

londonowl Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday are not that big...but, we were on the verge of a £100m sponsorship deal. To put that into perspective, only 6 Premier League clubs receive more than £10m a year in shirt sponsorship. Of course there are naming rights etc but even the suggestion that we had a nine-figure deal on the table makes the man look ridiculous. For 9 figures, you can have the club, let alone sponsor it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Who is going to sponsor a championship club for anything between 10m and a 100m pound. I have always been a chansiri supporter but what a load of nonsense. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on! But take what DC says with a pinch of salt, the guy says he was offered £175m for the club not that long ago. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonowl Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He throws out these ridiculously big number shoping we, the plebs, will be overwhelmed by his support and simply unable to comprehend any figure more than 10 grand. 'Turned down £200 million for the club'. BS, 5 years ago, £200m would have bought you a low end PL club. In this interview 'I've lost hundreds of millions of pounds' If that's the case, EFL better come and have another look because that means we've lost a minimum of £40m a season for the last 5 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind that TUF are a publicly traded company with shareholders. Daddy doesn't get to just hand over £100m from a company that he only owns a percentage of because his boy has gone and f***ed up again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He needs to have a long hard look at himself if he thinks it’s the fans fault they backed out due to seeing abusive messages regarding on the club on social media. Get a ruddy backbone man!! The position we find ourselves in has a lot to do with it too I imagine and who’s fault is that ultimately? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only true statement he made out of that and the 9 figure bolllox The fans do think we're bigger than we are imo. As I've already said, big clubs do not spend 20+years outside the top division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
