Chansiri - Positives and Successes Timeline (a work in progress)

[Kopparberg]

Upgraded the advertising boards to ‘flashy ones’ from standard ones. 

[Guest LondonOwl313]

January 2015 - Chansiri takes over Sheffield Wednesday Football Club

Jan 2015 -    First involvement - the signing of Sergiu Bus, Marnick Vermijl and Filipe Melo. Young players of the right age purchased relatively cheaply who would have resale value if successful. None worked out, but low risk signings.
Apr 2015 -    Chief buddhist 'blessed' the ground - an irrelevance, but something culturally important to the chairman.
May 2015 -    Three 'advisors' appointed - Glenn Roeder, Paul Senior and Adam Pearson. All three left within months having revamped the playing squad by the time they left leaving us with the best team we'd had in at least 15 years.

11th June 2015 - Stuart Gray SACKED as manager to be replaced by a new continental style manager more suited to the playing squad being assembled.
Jun 2015 -    Signed Forestieri, Bannan, Lopez, Pudil, Hunt, Hooper, Wallace, Joao, complementing a strong core of players already at the club including Westwood, Lees, Loovens, Hutchinson, Lee. Also signed a few duds/underachievers as well including Lachman, Matias, Price, McGugan, Wiggins, Sougou but this was to be expected when replacing 2/3rds of the first team squad.
30th June 2015 - Carlos Carvalhal HIRED as manager
Jul 2015 -    Season ticket prices - cheapest Kop adult up from £360 to £395 - a 10% increase to fund increased spending for a promotion push.

October 2015 - beat Newcastle away in the league cup and then Arsenal 3-0 at Hillsborough against a team with many international players, First victory against one of the big 6 since 1999. Secured a place in the quarter finals in the process.

12th November 2015 - Chansiri announces Paul Senior and Jonathan Hill have left SWFC - Time in job 7 months (having completed the job asked of them)

17th December 2015 - Chansiri issues statement saying Glenn Roeder has left SWFC - Time in job 7 months (having completed the job asked of him)

April 2016 - place in play offs achieved for a shot at promotion back to the premier league for the first time in 16 years.

May 2016 - beat Brighton in play off semi finals and secure a first trip to Wembley in 23 years. Ultimately lost 1-0 to Hull, but expectations for the season were surpassed by getting there.

May 2016 -    Losses of £11m announced - to be expected and covered by the chairman and less than FFP limit.
May 2016 -    Average price of cheapest POTG ticket over 15/16 season - up from £23.57 to £31.11 - to fund better players.
Jan 2016 -    Club badge of 40+ years changed. Fans not consulted, but largely immaterial.
Jun 2016 -    Signed Fletcher and Fox. Added some depth with other signings but signed some really disappointing players such as Abdi and Emanuelson
Jul 2016 -    Lewis McGugan frozen out - player had lost interest in the game and couldn't get in the team on merit ahead of 3-4 other quality players in his position.
Jul 2016 -    Stripes ditched from the shirt. Fans not consulted, but this is something that had happened before and was nothing new - we had other kits where there weren't clear stripes in the 90s. Replica kits not for sale until after season has started.
Jul 2016 -    Season ticket prices - cheapest Kop adult up from £395 to £415 - to fund additional spending.
Jul 2016 -    Membership price up from £30 to £50 - to fund additional spending
Aug 2016 -    Bizarre squad numbering announced - an irrelevance.

16th August 2016 - Chansiri releases statement saying Forestieri had apologised to him for refusing to play against Norwich. Mistake made in that we should have sold for a good profit.
Sep 2016 -    Golden elephants placed outside of South Stand for good luck - a cultural thing important to the chairman but largely irrelevant.
Oct 2016 -    Two minutes silence for the recently deceased King of Thailand - another cultural thing important to the chairman and hardly a hardship.
Nov 2016 -    Puts CHANSIRI in place of SWFC on the North Stand seats. Garish, but largely irrelevant.

January 2017 - signed Winnall and Rhodes to try and get promotion over the line. Didn't work out for various reasons.
24th March 2017 - Club announce fan has won competition to design new 3rd kit - it's not made available until December that year

May 2017 -    Losses of £20m announced - more than FFP limit but still under on a rolling 3 year view.

 

 

 

 

Re-written the first two years to be more accurate. I probably can't find too many other positives for 2017-2021 but things were good before the money ran out. He's made loads of mistakes but majority of the points you have down for the first two years are either an irrelevance or like they're looking for negatives on purpose. Perspective is everything

[Morepork]

Obviously, the list of positives and the list of issues have all ultimately lead to the same place......chaos and calamity.

 

With that in mind it would be extremely flawed logic to view anything on the positive list in isolation, it's almost academic with the exception of the scoreboard and pitch........

[Kopparberg]

He appeared to take Mike Ashley to Court, potentially receiving compensation/Jacob Murphy on loan.

Good effort that.

I'd break it down and analyse it and question whether putting prices up for a promotion push is in any way a 'success' if you don't get promoted

Its not crying.. just pointing out that what you're posting is largely biased nonsense. You telling me you didn't enjoy supporting us between 2015-17? The mistakes have accumulated over time but we largely got off to a good start under him. Bet there aren't many threads criticising him in 2016.

This reminds me of the interview Dom did........the one where he sold his journalistic soul.

You're still doing it

This thread is for you mate

Go ahead - post all your relevant and positive things and all the successes

Crying about crying or not, or crying about other threads is a waste of your time when you could be compiling the definitive list of positives and successes

Come on...

I'm rooting for you here

This thread could be incredible and very positive if you spent time actually compiling a list of successes and positives instead of crying about other stuff

I just don't view things in a black and white way where everything is a resounding success or failure. I've tried to re-write 2015-17 to be more balanced as for me there were a lot more positives than negatives. It was the most fun I'd had supporting us since the 90s. After 2017 the negatives are way more than the positives though.

I would say the years of Owls In The Park would be a success.

I would like to stress again we are in a bad position because he was too ambitious- he tried to do things with us

 

 

Given how this utterly reckless lack of foresight or perspective turned out in the long run (and the signs are that the decline has not bottomed out yet), it's really quite remarkable that anyone could glibly shrug that it was just the unfortunate circumstance of someone being 'too ambitious'.

If so most definitely a great addition to the SWFC calendar

This thread is for positives and successes so if that's what you feel add them to a/the list

Don’t think so - but it continued under him - which much require some form of effort and relations ?

Come on DJ.. can't you play along and fill in a waffer theen piece of the positive timeline?
