Other route, maybe not. One positive only from today's farce, that Chansiri will / says he will consider share sale to fans. Wonder how much Erik paid.

Really needs to get a PR person to media train him, but I doubt he has any intention of doing that. I remember at one of the fans forum someone saying how mortified Katrien Meire looked when DC was talking. She actually facepalmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never known a manager come in and have such a luke warm response from supporters, and have a large element of supporters oppose him from the off. DC gets rid of him, because he sees he's going to get fleeced again in the January transfer market and we're still not looking like creating chances on goal, and he's a still seen as a fool. Yes DC is a fool for appointing him in the first place, but clearly Tone was covering his own back several weeks into this latest debacle. We even had his mate, Tony Mowbery having a dig at Adam Reach. It's another sorry tale for Wednesday. Personally I think DC / Wednesday would be better off sticking with Bullen and Thompson. Bullen was getting results out of our players at the start of last season. It's probably the only management team DC can work with. We might even see academy players coming through. As for these threats from DC asking to buy him out. Its got to the stage now where I'd rather see Wednesdayites set up AFC Wednesday in opposition to the vanity project that is SWFC. I think the threat of another Wednesday working it's way through none league could keep the club honest. In 20 years every penny that Wednesdayites have put into SWFC has gone into financing debt, and thats where we would be if we bought him out. There's nothing to buy, but a money pit.

One of the few times I believe Chansiri and to his credit, having made a monumental mistake, did at least rectify that quickly. The fact that he's going to let his advisor keep choosing the next manager after that however is beyond belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I don't know what anyone expected but this morning's car crash shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. It was essentially an exercise in score-settling re. Pulis, then DC took his biannual opportunity to ramble nonsensically and demonstrate just how utterly unfit he is to run the club. We will never get anywhere under his ownership, he just hasn't got a clue. We will continue to flounder around and be exploited by any and all comers until the blessed day when he goes. I just wonder what league we'll be in and how many fans will have drifted away by the time he does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatRoySlim Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This true supporter nonsense spouted by some so called wednesdayites is absolute rubbish. The chairman should be held to account and today's press conference is another one of many where he refuses to accept responsibility for his own mis management. Just because he threw a lot of money at it doesn't mean he's not accountable. Once again today we've had a clown show of epic proportion where the so called chairman has blamed the fans. You can spot it a mile off that Dejphon has no business acumen. He's dined out all his life on the back of the family business and thrown their money down the drain buying a football club without an ounce of knowledge of how to run it. I imagine Daddy's told him no more Bhat for you sunshine you've had enough. Football ownership is always a risky business. History would have told him that if he;'d done any due diligence. We've ended up like Blackburn did with the Venkys. With a clueless owner and no hope of improvement. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
