I feel sorry for myself because of the money I have lost. I am not saying if I am a good owner or a bad owner. I am loyal to the fans, to say the truth. They don’t want to hear what I say. They like people to impress them, to say what they want to hear, they like it. When I say the truth, they say I lie or that I want a ‘yes man’. They have short memories. I am not going to say I am a good owner. I am one human being and I am loyal. I say the truth. I am the owner of the club, anything good or bad I take responsibility.

Guest Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 58 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: UBERFANS HAVE REALLY CAUSED A MASSIVE PROBLEM HERE Skip to 2 minutes LIsten to this Chansiri says very clearly that he had a meeting with our fans (fans forum) and in that meeting our fans basically fawned over him, said all Wednesday fans would back him no matter what, and would support him financially but that it didn't happen as they told him it would Is he saying that the sycophants who give him standing ovations are the ones who've caused and created this mess by giving him an unrealistic picture of how the fanbase actually is? It's at two minutes in - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p092sdm8 If that’s the case then he really does hear what he wants to hear because the fans forum I was at (think it was the 2nd one with about 40 people) the lad I was sat with got up and left after an argument with him about how he was treating fans and how his recruitment advisors were taking him for a ride, there was no fawning from us mind you the follow up question from another fan was about the hot water in the ladies toilets I’ve been to 2 of the smaller fans forums and decided my time was better spent else where for the future ones but no way am I accepting being called an Uberfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the feeling sorry for himself comment (which I actually found very funny tbh), he’s not wrong with any of this He’s not said he’s a good owner, that to me says he accepts he’s messed up along the way - for those saying he doesn’t take any blame The fans ask for the truth and when they get it, they don’t want to hear it - Again he’s correct with that They like people to impress them, to say what they want to hear. When i say the truth they say I lie - Again he’s not far wrong with that They say I want a yes man, they have short memories - Again, apart from Jos who of are previous managers are ‘yes men’. Don’t think you can label Carlos one, Bruce definitely not. Monk? Perhaps to a degree, but I doubt he was no pushover 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We definitely have some whoppers in our fan base, and those sending abuse to his lad are cowards. But he can’t tar everyone with the same brush. Criticising fans for being negative after a year where we’ve had points deducted and players not being paid, big question marks over the clubs future. He’s in the wrong business if he expects fans to be thanking him all the time. The club needs the fans onside more than ever, especially when in 8 weeks time they’ll be asking fans to renew season tickets and buy memberships or some other scheme. This was his opportunity to answer some concerns and try to build some bridges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Has there ever been a better example of someone who should have got it right getting it so wrong? He comes into a relatively stable football club, clearly armed with a few bob to spend. The team at that time was a pretty solid outfit and in that first season we sprinkled in a few very good Champ players and nearly got back to the promise land. Some four and half years on and we are a complete shambles on and off the pitch. There is just no excuse for it. He can sit there and blame Pulis, Monk, the EFL, the players, the fans, but the buck stops with him. There is no excuse for the position we find ourselves in. In the early to late 00s you could point towards the inevitable outcome of not having the proverbial pot to pi55 in. That's not the case here or certainly wasn't until recently. Why was it so hard to appoint competent officials in key areas of the football club - a chief exec, director of football, technical director etc.,? Why was it so hard to get normal ******** sponsors, normal kit manufacturers and sell 2 half pints for more than the cost of a pint? The fact is we are in this mess because of him. It's not down to bad luck or things not quite falling into place. No, it's because he is incapable of running a football club in a proper and succient manner. No, everything has to be ad hoc and f*cking weird. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
