Chansiri is a victim of circumstances....

Carlos team was built on the conditioning of Stuart Gray, as soon as Carlos started to work with the team the fitness began to faulter, for me that season we got to the play off was built of 2 people Gray for assembling a solid team and Roeder for signing Hunt, Fessi, Bannan, Wallace, Pudil, Hooper to add the attaching flare we lacked.

 

Carlos then managed someone else team to the play off final (the same way Dave Jones did with a team built by Megson) in that summer he got to work on moulding the team and the chairman got to work with his advisors bringing loads of players we didn't need. Pace on the flanks, a target man up front and central midfield beast thats all we needed.

 

instead we signed 10 players and 3 loans, Fletcher, Kean, Abdi, Pudil, Jones, Sasso, Reach Emanuel, Fox, Winnall, Buckley, McManaman, Rhodes. Only 3 of the 13 players were used in the team and arguably we overpaid for Pudil who was the wrong side of 30 with less than 1 year left on his contract. to only get 23% of your signing right is a very poor recruitment return but it could be argued it was probably the best DC and his numerous advisors have done in any transfer window other than the first summer when he allowed Roeder to build him a team.

Very good post.

 

What Chansiri should have taken from this is that if you want advice on football listen to football people like Roeder and do not take advice on football from non football people / agents like Amadeu Paixao.

Abdi was also a big flop, but my mate who supports Watford says he was the best midfielder outside the premiership and rated him... So statistically he was a great signing for us but in reality - he was done by the time he signed (old/ injury prone/ last pay day/ risk averse). The same could be said for Fletcher in terms of age/ injuries and I just don't understand what's happened to Rhodes, as again he is statistically immense, but now looks like he would struggle to get in my local pub team...

You've put a lot of effort into that OP and it was a good read but you're only focussing on the first 3 years of Chansiri. 

 

His decision making was muddled to begin with, and you can put that down to inexperience and different advisers initially, but the problem is his decision making has REMAINED MUDDLED. It's like he hasn't learned from his mistakes. 

 

As others have pointed out, he can't get the manager right and the recruitment and selling of players has been woeful.

 

He is not a victim of circumstance. He has control and has messed it up.
