Sheffield Wednesday always professional. But he's only an advisor and nobody "special" apparently, wtf is going on. Wonder if he will be on that fan engagement zoom meeting Saturday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 2 minutes ago, HarrowbyOwl said: The LinkedIn description of WBD Capital is cut and pasted from the OSO website, OSO being a company group owned by wealthy Indonesian politician and businessman Oesman Sapta Odang. Alonso knows his son Raja Sapta Oktohari who is also a boxing promoter. But is WBD Capital Management and subsidiary WBD Sports part of the OSO group as suggested here? All very confusing. I went down the wormhole a few weeks ago. And it just didn’t make much sense. What would be good is if the club came out and just published a press release to tell fans what Alonso’s exact role moving forward will be. And why he is on board. You know, like any normal and well run business would. Chansiri’s explanation the other week was confusing and contradicts things Alonso has said. Fans are being treated awfully here. Not good enough and amateur for a club in the second tier of English football. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a classic open letter to Sheard https://sheffwed.vitalfootball.co.uk/calling-geoff-sheard/ Sheard is "our only ray of light" haha Why can't we just be a well-run, professional outfit for a few days in our life? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrowby, have you come across the name Pieter Tanuri on your travels? Coz as far as i can see he is actually the owner of Bali and seems to be wealthy guy with major interest in footy ... it's occurred to me that Alonso may be his frontman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cook comes in and we survive relegation (he probabl;y has the best chance given his track record) it will be a great achievement. Fans will be very grateful not only to Paul Cook but also to Erik Alonso for making the appointment happen. PLease will you change the record Alan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chinese player who plays for Espanyol. We played Espanyol in a friendly the other year. A lot of Chinese fans turned up to watch Wu Lei as he’s huge over in China. Maybe there’s some kind of connection there? We can only hope....does feel like some far Eastern interest somewhere...DCs famous 'friends'?

HarrowbyOwl Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Check out the description of what WBD Capital Management does at https://www.linkedin.com/company/erybe-consulting/about/ It is lifted from the website of Krypteia Capital at http://www.krypteiacapital.com/que-ofrecemos/ A man claiming to have 2 business degrees shouldn't need to be plagiarising like that You'd also think that a company claiming to be Spain's leading equity fund woud have a web presence.

We really should tap into the Asian players market, given their student population in the city. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bali United or rather its parent company PT Bali Bintang Sejahtera Tbk (BOLA), floated on the Indonesia Stock Exchangeexchange in 2019, so its a public company. Indonesia Stock Exchange data shows BOLA's shareholders above 5 percent consist of Pieter Tanuri (21.79 percent), Miranda (5.25 percent), Ayu Patricia Rachmat (5.25 percent), the Salim Group through PT Asuransi Central Asia (8.88 percent) and PT Indolife Pensiontama (5.39 percent), the Kresna group through PT Asuransi Jiwa Kresna (9.19 percent), while others are owned by the community (44.25). No mention on their web site that Alonso holds any executive position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work on student accommodation mainly round shalesmoor area and to say Hillsborough is only a couple of miles away you wouldn't know it. we don't even seem to try with dragging a few of the students in surely it would be worth running a "student game" ie one of the matches in late September early October we let students in for something like £5 /£10 plaster advertising all over the campus and accommodation 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
