The attitude from many was that they had little sympathy for local businessmen or rich individuals. Just scandalous business practice really, and the absolutely worst behaviour you'd hope for from the owner. Yes the majority of Owlstalkers said the 'rich local businessmen' had leeched off the club long enough and its about time they got their come-uppance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Putting his own name on the shirt and the seats. Then making up some company names to sponsor us. All because a “successful businessman” didn’t have his own business - was a bit of a giveaway in hindsight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I remember someone on here once saying that some retiling needed to be done, and it was postponed for ages because DC wanted to personally choose what the new tiling would be. Just one tiny aspect of a pattern of behaviour which shows some quite frightening characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the story given to the box holders as the reason a much needed upgrade to the boxes toilets (they looked like the type you get in a school changing room) hadn’t been completed by the start of the season.

Thanks, couldn't remember fully. I sh*t you not, that was actually the first time I raised an eyebrow. Not because it was major, just because it was so inexplicably odd. I couldn't tell you the moment I completely lost faith in the man (albeit it it was early on), but I remember so clearly that that was the first time I started to doubt what was in store for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Simply this. EFL - Buy the ground by 31st of July and you're fine.... August 15th Chansiri - I have bought the ground... In my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevertrevor Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just in the interests of compiling a fully comprehensive list we need to mention - - the insane squad numbers he picked. A keeper as a '2'? No. - Taking away unlucky stripes. - Kits that are months late. And in one size fits all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 OH YEAH WE MANUFACTURED OUR OWN KITS AND THEN THEY WERE ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATE That was normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Remember when the kit first had the Elev8 badge on it, and everyone googled it and it took you to some mysterious sports drink website that only had about two pages on it with like no information. And they were supposedly involved in the manufacturing of our kits? That was so strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 In isolation each of these things is batshit crazy Put two or three of them together and alarm bells start ringing Put four or five of them together and it's like WTFFFFFFF But put them all into a list and you genuinely do have to make the point that some Wednesday fans have seen all of this happening week in week out relentlessly over and over and over again and tried justifying them all to fellow Wednesday fans 2 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll cut the overheads, give local businesses an opportunity.
