Beauchief Owl Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 TBH DC has put his money where his mouth is. True he has made numerous bad decisions but he has had some bad luck. Everybody was saying TP was a safe pair of hands if a somewhat an uninspiring appointment, this has proved to be only half true so far. Injuries to players, Iorfa yesterday and about ten long term casualties under Josh and many on other occasions has cost him an absolute fortune in wages, not to mention the coronavirus outbreak. IMO I'm surprised he hasn't said enough is enough already yet he continues to pay the bills. It's all very sad, with the right advice DC could have taken us to where Wolves are now.

To be fair - we sacked an entirely decent team of physios that knew the club inside out. And employed a new set that weren't even sufficiently qualified to go onto the pitch on a matchday - and we had to employ a matchday physio to do that role. Thats not bad luck. Its incompetence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfcAH Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Always makes me laugh when he makes these wild claims about how much money he's spent. I suspect the £350 million claim is a bit far fetched but even so how is claiming you've spent that much money and making a football club worse something to be proud of? Like he's putting a number on his own incompetency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Yes it’s not bad luck when you (consistently) hire the wrong people, and sign inadequate players. After Carlos’ first season we needed to sign a CB, DM and wide player. Brighton had spent £10m on Duffy, Kayal and Knockaert, we spent a reported £18m on Abdi, Reach and Rhodes in that season. Not to mention all the other players. When you have people in charge who don’t understand football this is the mess you get left with sadly. Respect to Chansiri for trying, but I wouldn’t try to run a business I know nothing about without hiring people who do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pish off pal,youve not got a clue what your doing,and its by no means a minority old lad that feel the same Yep. This is how I see it panning out. Pulis will know a sucker when he sees one. Easy money this. If he turns it around then great, but likewise he still gets handsomely rewarded and can bugger off if not. I can imagine that the excuses are already getting lined up. Unfortunately, the club is such a joke that the excuses will be completely valid, irrespective of whether Pulis is really putting his all in.

It's a while back but I think Carlos had an issue with them insisting players weren't ready to return when he wanted them to play Which led to recurring injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d file that £350m claim alongside the one about fans on social media ruining a £100m plus sponsorship deal, him only putting money into the club to avoid relegation and him never really wanting Steve Bruce as manager. All my opinion of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Two lucky elephants and still we get bad luck. There's not much more he can do than that. Not Chansiri's fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hope it does not happen relegation ,But what ticket prices will he charge for next year ,Myself i think he will charge the same price ,Infact i will go as far as say he will put ticket prices up ,If we go down he will not accept he is wrong on anything ,We are stuck with him ,God help our club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, he has only put loans into club. With £90 million rent now and owning stadium personally, he's now making a mint. Profit will be about £40 million for him. Only fans are really funding this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
