SallyCinnamon Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 4 minutes ago, Athelwulf said: The thing is, I respect Chansiri's generosity and I genuinely don't think he wanted this to happen. The people we had here before were very good at talking, but put nowt in. I think he took people on trust and they had him round the corner. I don't like the prices, but I understand the turnover/P&S business situation. I'd accept Chansiri staying if he changes things. It's why he doesn't do that which frustrates me. If he ousted Paixao - who IMO is central to our failure - and brought Cook in, plus a DOF, then the only way would be up. Even if we're relegated, in a strange way we'd actually be in a better place than now because even if we cheat the drop it'll be the same situation next season unless there's change. Splashing the cash and wasting it I wouldn’t say is generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Don't worry everything will be fine, our supreme leader Chans Wrong-Un will lead us to glory and enchantment. Some famous quotes from our glorious leader ; 'I want to ask, the minority fan that is always negative, I want to know what they are doing for this club, beside moaning or being negative.' "They say they are a fan, a supporter, but sometimes they act like a customer or maybe worse than a customer." "I have lost a lot of money, not the fans. The minority try to say how bad I am. I ask the minority what they are doing for the club. If they don't like me, they don't need to get involved". "I want there to be a strong foundation for when I hand over to my son". “I will put this club on the market and I believe many people will want to buy,” "One day you will have a new owner but while I am your chairman I will do my very best and never do anything to damage this wonderful club.” “I have lost a lot of money. I am happy if the fans want to buy some shares. I will step back." "If you (the fans) really do want me out, then buy me out". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Using Chansiris logic about fans, customers and losing money I lose f.ookin' money EVERY time we lose don't I?......If you are going to take it the extreme... You go , you pay...You lose...You don't enjoy it...hence...."Its a waste of f.ookin' money" You buy a football shirt at an vastly inflated price...You wear it...and folk f.ookin' laugh at you.....So you don't wear the f.ookin' thing again...You lose money.. They ought to sell f.ookn' nightgowns! You ante up for a season ticket, bolstered by a myriad of promises, surveys and are candidly asked "Do you want to keep paying these prices and get "Quality" players to achieve a promotion push"? You answer yes.... and look what we get... So before Chansiri chucks the toys outta the pram..he needs to have a good hard look at himself The fact is...his every £100'000 ..is our f.ookn' £50... So extrapolate that..and tell me who has lost the most money....bearing in mind theres 25'000 of me...and just the bloody one of him Customers....??? Believe me DC...if WE were customers you would easily be able to read yer name on the North with virtually no incumberence...Cast yer eyes right and I reckon you would have a moustache on the Kop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 8 hours ago, poite said: He's spot on. I have no interest in going and as a result my son won't be either. He's 6 this year and at the age where his connection with the club should really start to flourish. Unfortunately it won't. But to be clear its not about the fact we are down at the bottom. We've been this was for pretty much the entirety of the past 20 years so there's no expectations of seeing top level football with giants of Europe. The most damaging thing is Chansiri's running of the club and his exploitation of fans who have been so loyal for so long. It's not our club anymore, it's not a community club anymore. It's a dying club that has been dragged through the dirty further and further into its grave yet is treated like it's at the pinnacle of its existence competing with the elite of world football. I will always support this club and want it to be successful but as things are now I'm unwilling to commit anything other than my wishes or a comment on these boards to show for it. I'm not proud to support us anymore. I just feel I and many others are now to disconnected for that. It's very dark times at this club and fear that it will only get worse whist this owner continues to destroy us. I just can't see the way out. Absolutely excellent post and totally totally sums my feelings up too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he's had a few a clips round the ear from his father - we need his elder brother round he'd prob sort this by actually employing experienced football consultants to take SWFC to an exit position and cut their losses. - It wont happen. With no visible source, the eyewatering amounts of money wasted must be hurting as it would anyone. I see no out for him (or us) at all, with his total control ethos we are simply circling the plughole until the inevitable Depressing times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the good old days, we could boo him, direct verbal abuse in his direction, harass him and his security detail at the ground, throw bovril cups at him, empty of course, and make it clear that he is public enemy number 1 and should not come near the place. Of course I don't condone any of this but these things have happened to club chairman and much worse. In this sterile COVID world there is little that we can do to show just how much contempt we have for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He since said (very clearly) he knew as much as anyone else in football about football at the last fans forum He also said he knew more than the fans who were criticising him, and knew more about football than anyone in the room He also mocked the Sheffield United squad and got a standing ovation for it from the sycophants in the room That Sheffield United squad got promoted to the Premier League that season Ah...what a night that was....a truly commanding performance, destined to become the pinnacle of his tenure....UTO.
