Chansiri on fans wanting season ticket refunds "sometimes they act like a customer or maybe worse than a customer"

[@owlstalk 51,342]

They say they are a fan, a supporter, but sometimes they act like a customer or maybe worse than a customer.

Shameful comments from the man in charge of our club.

 

He milks us for all he can; spaffs it all up the wall; tells us our money covers nothing anyway; then has the temerity to come out with that?

 

Disgusting.

Or maybe we're paying the highest prices in the league to watch one of the worst products - he just doesn't get it does he?

[BRUCE LEE 5,356]

He really does live in a bubble

 

Frightening

Get told we are customers, get treated like customers, then gets livid when we behave like customers.

 

FFS

Here we go...

His problem, that he doesn’t understand, is that football isn’t a community thing anymore at this level. If the players weren’t paid so much and if there wasn’t so much money in the game then I think many more people would have given up their refund for the clubs’ survival. However when players get £10k a week it’s hard not to ask for £100 back...

So when we are spending money in the shop or in tickets are we fans or customers? I’m confused!!

"I told the fans if we keep spend, this was in good situation, we would hit FFP.

 

The fans said in a previous meeting they would support me and help me. In the end, nobody helped me. If we spend money, the FFP issue, £13m a year is not enough."

 

It's all our fault for not helping enough.

I don't think my thoughts on Chansiri comments will get past the swear filter.

Chansiri is just being a proper ******** at this point. Fans have ******** done their point and all while the club has been going backwards for the last 2-3 years.

Total tw@t 

 

I won’t give him another penny

Ive said before that I'm a life long wednesday fan who lives in Leicester. About 3miles from King Power stadium. 

 

Whilst Chansiri owns this football club I'm finding it impossible to make the trip up to Sheffield to bring my five year old son up as an owl. Leicester are a lovely club with wonderful owners. I never imagined I'd ever even think about my son being anything other than an owl but Chansiri has changed that.

He really doesn't respect the potential of our fanbase does he? If this club is run properly and we finally get our day in the sun again, the size of this club will be there for all to see.

[sheffield_dave 9,655]

This is the worst thing he’s said in his time here, and there’s some stiff competition for that.

 

It’s the embodiment of footballs view that being able to rely on “fans” and “supporters” cash indefinitely based on emotion, is fundamentally different to other businesses where customers won’t pay or will expect refunds for a service or product as shoddy as Sheffield Wednesday currently is. 
 

If that’s the distinction he wants to make then so be it. I’ll de-classify myself as a fan in favour of being one of his customers, and will thus be voting with my wallet like I do everywhere else. Not a penny from me, pal.

Blaming the fans again.

 

We are one of the most loyal fan bases in the country.  There are not many clubs in the country that would get the attendances that we have been getting over the last 20 years given the way the club was being run and some of the appalling teams on show.

 

But we still turn out in our numbers.

How to lose friends and alienate people. 

 

Shameful comments.

Oh I see!

Comes over as a privileged rich kid with no grasp of football economics or the remotest empathy for the lives of his ‘customers’ in a largely working class city during a pandemic.

What he said.

 

Sheffield is essentially a working class city and to expect supporters to spend a large proportion of their hard earned income supporting their team consisting of players being paid 20-30 thousand a week by the owner shows he is totally detached from reality and has no empathy with the city, the club and its supporters.
