However, the club is far worse off in every single aspect and department. We're clearly heading to league one and most likely beyond. At that point, the club is worth peanuts rather than the 100 million that DC would ludicrously expect. Can someone please explain to me what DC and Paxo could possibly gain from running the club into the ground? Because, as I see it, they aren't getting their money back. DC has nothing to gain. He's just an arrogant, monumentally incompetent rich kid. Appropos of nothing, there are plenty of ways for an intelligent and unscrupulous person to make money by attaching themselves to a wealthy but stupid individual.

Like the example I used though, if Dave Zuckerberg in the future buys a football club and runs them into the ground, I think it would be reasonable to contact Facebook/Mark Zuckerberg and express an opinion which disapproves on the way that money has been used, and to remind them that Facebook was plastered everywhere when the club was bought and Facebook was widely reported as the company behind it - regardless of the dispute regarding that now OK, to put it simply, I have a very minor stake in Thai Union as part of a Chinese consortium. We have held the shares for quite a bit longer that Chansiri has been at Wednesday. Though proportionately only a tiny shareholding, I still get all the dispatches put out by the investor relations department of the PLC. I know for a 100% fact that various parties have questioned the PLC Board about connections with UK football through Wednesday and Reading. Every time the come deny it. They cannot deceive shareholders. That would not only constitute possible criminal proceedings but would also have an adverse affect on shareholder relations, something I guarantee that they would not allow to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not reach any of the Chansiri family. It will be dealt with by someone in the investor relations department. The reply you can expect is that Thai Union do not comment on unrelated organisations and that it is entirely a matter for Dejphon Chansiri.

Therein lies the difference. Shareholders invest to make ROI. But shareholders are not daft people and they weigh up the likelihood of a return. Owning Sheffield Wednesday as a company asset is definitely more likely to result in loss than gain. If TUG wanted to invest circa £350 million, there is a greater chance of a return investing it in companies connected with the core discipline of TUG namely food processing and manufacturing rather than diving into markets as uncertain as football investment.

You have given me an idea. Calling Schwabs Monday to buy some TUC shares. Will ask Trust if they want a few. You remember when that Irish consortium of race horse owners blew away Ferguson by buying a few Man Utd shares. We need to get an in, as long as legal, ethical and tasteful. Decapitating the elephants or bothering Chansiris kid is not. See you at the AGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 1 hour ago, WatfordOwl said: I'm probably better backing out of a thread and having an opinion on a day like this tbh. I'd just say have a look at the first few pages of pretty personal insults that are levelled, and ask yourself if putting an opinion poll out on Social Media were countless 'fans' would add to that rhetoric is a great idea. We can make comments about his tenure without resorting to basic insults. But a simple ‘do we want him to sell or not’ is not inviting personal or vindictive comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 My biggest conern is that Chansiri never seems to learn from anything. It was so important at the start of his reign given the model he was wanting to have a CEO, Finance Director, Director of Football, Commercial Director and of course a proven Football Manager. If this has been put in place we could have created a sustainable club structure and the club could have progressed. Norwich City are run in exactly that way for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 What I don’t understand with DC is that, as a businessman, if you’re company is not doing so well you act to address it. Even if those actions don’t work, you’re in there night and day to influence change. You do it because not to do so costs you thousands/millions. DC really is fiddling while Rome burns, to HIS cost. I don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl_83 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I wonder what the POTD prices will be if/when we are in League 1 next season. Personally wouldn’t pay more than £20. Can you imagine him trying to charge £33 to watch Forest Green beat us with ease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
