There's loads of unusual kit names popped up just recently Sal. I think this is something that's become a "common avenue" for clubs Bit like most mechanical & electrical goods... Many different named brands made in the same factory on licence ... The "big boys" have had it cosy for a long long while .... Can't blame clubs trying to do it for themselves I still reckon our Elev8 brand is very good quality compared to the big brands .. It's all about availability and price though and the clubs demographic , which I think far outweighs any other issues ... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His schemes and ideas would be fantastic if they actually worked. All I see when I see Chansiri across our shirts is ego I’m afraid. Most clubs have random far east betting companies. Can’t see the difference tbh. At least we know who he is. Least of our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my humble opinion chansiri’s ego is our biggest problem Its solely down to his insistence on meddling with the workings of the club that have shafted us A good business man would appoint the best people available to run the business properly An egotistical control freak like chansiri can’t do that even though he’s been continually proved to be incompetent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That if we get a new owner they wouldn't: Invest in the academy Update and upgrade the stadium Improve the shop Improve catering Adjust ticket pricing Create a more positive environment amongst fans Invest in the training ground Have a more positive outlook regarding bringing younger players through that we can develop and selll at massive profit etc Create ties and bonds with local businesses Attract new sponsors Get the executive box issues sorted out and the boxes sold again I could go on - the list is lonnnnnng No. I'm simply pointing out that, should a new owner turn up, he would have to a) have to pay Chansiri off , THEN pay for all the list of requirements to be brought about. This requires investment . in other words mONEY, and lots of it. Don't forget that the richest club in the world -Man Utd- went through this years ago, and they are now owned by a consortium. I'm not against a change of ownership, but its a case of finding the correct one, and if businesses such as Debenhams can go into receivership, new monied owners are few and far between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 With the way Chansiri has run this football club I'd be surprised if a buyer could be found to be honest. We're such a financial mess I can't believe we'd be a very attractive proposition for anyone. Not to mention the ridiculous price tag Chansiri would put on the club in the first place. He reminds me of those people who go on Dragons Den and tell the dragons that they have a business that's making a loss every year but it's worth 2million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 When he came in i thought great .Invest in training facilities ,Get scouting network sign young players develop and move on ,Sad how it has gone ,Chansiri has put a lot of money into the club ,He runs it his way and no matter what we say ,He will not change ,I hope we get success eventually i really do .

swfc-dan Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Totally feel the DC fatigue and have for a few years now. It hit us distant fans first by pricing us out of games when we could attend one. The only way I can see things changing is with major civilized protests once things eventually return to near normal. But it needs to be organised and no personal stuff, only purely criticising his running of the club and our wish for him to sell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
