Kopparberg Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I had the quotes coming through to me on WhatsApp yesterday. At first I thought, as usual he does drop some clangers / bombshells... quite interesting if not chaotic. Then I thought ... This is what ALWAYS happens. I don’t want chaotic! Or drama, or gossip. Just go about your business to fix this club... Improve things! PROPERLY do the things required. Like the owner of a business would. Try and run a business well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the alternative, spending no money, telling us nothing, not listening to the fans, I think sometimes it’s better the devil you know! This is the thing that always makes me laugh. The only defence of the man is that he's spent loads of money. Well, let's face it, spending loads of money is something everybody could do if they had it. It's how you spend it and to say he's done a good job with that would be a little silly wouldn't it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you DC for reckless spending that led us into successive transfer embargo’s, a points deduction and not even owning our stadium anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then what we would be proper screwed if he did that Unbound loyal to his advisers and the structure within he runs the club is in my opinion and many others, doing more bad for the club than good. Where we are on and off the pitch reflects that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me as a Sheffield Wednesday fan? No, I as a Sheffield Wednesday fan would be able to separate my love of the club from my business sense. Id see that my complete incompetence in my running of the club was in fact destroying both the success of the club aswell as my potential for returning on my investment. Rather than keep chucking money into a bottomless pit with no sight of anything improving I'd take a step back, use my money on employing people who know what they are doing and as a result hopefully see my and the club's fortunes turn around. But like you say, maybe it's me whose crazy.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 If DC had unbound loyalty to the fans or ‘customers’ everyone would have received their season ticket refund by now. He wouldn’t make digs at the fans in his press conferences. He would try and unite the fanbase and engage with them in a constructive manner, but he doesn’t and just drives further divisions in his media briefings. As the latest episode showed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
