You sailing our great football club to Division 3 after wasting £300m is just like being disappointed with a movie. FFS.

Is he actually comparing supporting the club and buying tickets to buying a ticket for a movie? absolute disgrace! And sometimes we are good? We've probably just had the worse year in our clubs history on record! Sheffield Wednesday football club got deducted 6 points for breaking the rules, because of his decisions and nobody else's, but he hasn't apologised to the fans for that has he! Got to think from his perspective, as a non football man, we are like that. We either buy a ticket or we don't. We don't carry the can (yes - from our perspective we do because we have a vested interest, but from his, financial perspective, we absolutely dont). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was more articulate the point he is making is that he carries the financial can. No one else. Not one of our fanbase carries the can for the outgoings at Wednesday. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do bad. You can do good. It is normal in business. I have lost a lot of money, not the fans. The minority try to say how bad I am. I ask the minority what they are doing for the club. If they don't like me, they don't need to get involved. I feel sorry for me that I have lost a lot of money. I am not saying I am a good or bad owner. I believe that I am loyal to the fans to say to the truth. Sometimes the fans don't like what I have to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get it and he never will. So sad for my club. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post striker Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 Bit of groundhog Day stuff really. The Pulis stuff was explosive and I tend to believe Chansiri. I accept cash flow issues, but he still fails to understand the fans concerns. Ok, there are some nobheads around, but a lot of the negativity he alludes to is meant to be constructive. It's reasonable to accept scrutiny in decision making. He talked of philosophy, I genuinely have no idea what that is. He's been here 5 years and can't see any evidence. We can now debunk the myth that managers are responsible for recruiting players. For all the talk of CEO's we know Paxo fulfills that role in all but title, drip feeding information to Chansiri. Until this situation is resolved, have zero confidence in the club progressing. I have some empathy with Chansiri on certain subjects, but causes a lot of critisism by his own actions. It still feels to me like he's playing at owning a football club and put his faith in an advisor who is immune from scrutiny, yet shown to be incompetent by the littany of bad decisions made since he took over. I'd prefer Chansiri to sell, he mentioned interest, but if he doesn't put a price on the club it's impossible to sell or attract investment. Whatever he's spent will be worth fizz all in a few months if we are relegated. That prospect is a very real possibility while he waits for a list of managers from Paxo, to play the list of players provided by Paxo....someone we are told is external to the club yet make every crucial decision it seems as 'chansiri's people'. If Chansiri wants to stay, he needs to take control, the advice he receives is inadequate. It's his investment and he who looks an idiot. The club needs leadership, proper leadership and if he can't or doesn't want to do that needs to name his price or accept that fans will become even more alienated. I don't want to blame Chansiri, it's easy for him to accept accountability. I want him to run the club properly, so that the need to assign blame for bad decisions is mitigated. Not a positive day for me. Will wait to see what happens with the next Paxo chosen manager and hope that despite the two of them (Paxo and Chansiri) we can avoid relegation. Aside from that, until there is a fundamental change is leadership, the club is just slowly regressing into anonymity and prolonged embarrassment. 6 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
