I bet you could find that out by jumping into their forums. I don’t get what people mean by enough is enough though. What’s enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. I reckon that most supporters are like me. They love the Wednesday pay their dues and leave the running of the club to those who do.

Drones club Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 3 hours ago, Jim said: Fair enough. Some fans are upset and I get that. It’s their money if they want to keep it in their pockets until DC goes then that’s their prerogative. I very much felt the same way during the Dave Allen years. There are some striking resemblances now as to then but a crucial difference is I think DC has a heart and DA was a cold hearted business man who never realised that football is the most unique business of them all. Where DC has gone wrong IMO is he’s perhaps tried too hard to please the fan base. He bought us Rhodes. He went British with Bruce, Monk and Pulis because that’s what the fans wanted. I think because English is not his primary language, a lot of things get lost in translation and some of what he says are not meant to come across as harshly as they perhaps do? I think where DA had a battle with Wednesdayite, DC is going to have a similar battle in the future with the supporters trust? The trust just like Wednesdayite did come across as holier than thou. Now I’m not saying DC and the club shouldn’t be held accountable for certain things by a group that supposedly has the fans interest at heart and I’m sure they do but let’s face it, the trust are saying DC should do this and DC should do that? I think if they ever found themselves on the other side of the fence they would get a shock and subsequently struggle? Let’s not forget the fans owned us for many years and that went well, didn’t it? I expect the usual suspects to pull this post to bits and they are entitled to do so but if I had any advice for DC going forward. When it comes to the appointment of the next manager. Don’t listen to your chief advisor, don’t listen to the fans. Go with your gut, appoint someone who plays the kind of football you want to see played and there’s every chance that things will improve all round particularly on the pitch and yourself, the supporters trust, Wednesdayite, your OT critics and the rest of the fan base base will live happily ever after? Who knows in a few years time David Walliams might get to do a comedy on Sky One about it? An outbreak of reason, constructive criticism and perspective. Very rare on here and all the better for being free of the dog whistle xenophobia that characterises too many posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime Tree Heros Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Since 5live reported the press briefing and actually played a snippet Chansiri having a go at Pulis, I've become a laughing stock among my none Wednesday mates and as I live down South that's all of them. Revenge is difficult, I'm not a season ticket holder so can't not renew, instead I've decided to hit him in the pocket by not buying tuna until he's no longer chairman. His family have lost £3.50 from me in sales today alone - bought some nice gals pie instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying deriding one fan as some people have for choosing not to give the club any more money isn’t progressive. He or she are fine to choose that approach going forward and shouldn’t be derided. They’re still a fan and protesting in the only way they have available to them Edited December 31, 2020 by Gerinako 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the endgame will be other than selling up or receiving a worldwide ban for his activities. But the route we take to that end game is guaranteed to be a nightmare for us fans. The won't apologise as he's doesn't believe he has anything to apologise for. Look back over history and find any despot or dictator who actually said they were sorry. He has no intention of selling the club as he's enjoying himself too much. I would say you are wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
