Stu Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I was talking to a friend of mine who asked the same question, I said if we went down then to get fans inside and back in the ground maybe reduce season tickets to £200 for the kop for adults and £50 for concessions.

Not a very good business model, I know our present one isn't very good but even so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately he might be able to claw his way back into good graces, but it's going to take a hell of a lot more than just doing what he should've done to begin with. He's got a lot to answer for. Reality suggests he won't change though. So whatever. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Yes. Forget the results Forget the Premier League Forget 'big' name signings and managers Just give me a club I'm proud to support. I don't need any of the above for that to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWLS about that? Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 1 hour ago, e6owl said: Lots has been said about Chansiri's record (mostly failures, with a few successes), but looking forward is there anything he could realistically do that would win people over or is the faith completely lost? It seems like the writing is on the wall and most Wednesday fans want him gone, but Blackburn are currently on a similar journey. When Venky's came in they completely trashed the place, dragged the club from the PL to League 1 in a couple of years. Since about 2015 though, they've recognised they know nothing, got experience people in, and just made sure to keep the club afloat from India (haven't been to a match in years). Against a backdrop of Wigan and Bolton falling apart, with Blackburn getting promotion from League 1 and consolidating in the championship their reputation has been improved massively lately amongst Rovers fans. If Chansiri did what they've done - stepped back, handed over the day to day to an experienced CEO/Board, but kept funding the club - would people come to terms with that and start to accept him again? If he gives me my refund my opinion will go up slightly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marro Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I want Chansiri gone. I reached that point of no return a while ago. The guy is a complete looney. “But he’s been badly advised” I hear many say. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same atmosphere though. Also I don't know how many take up the I follow option but would guess it's nowhere near our usual gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorturner Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 This club is finished. We cannot sign decent players as we are broke, cannot pay on time and our youth prospects to leave at 19. Please tell me how we can ever have a successful team . It’s over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw your elephants in the River Don and please stop squeaking when you speak. Oh and hire people who actually know how to run a football club and engage with the local community and businesses. It really isn’t that hard to put a basic plan in place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So much he could do. It would actually be really easy for him to get fans back on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We clearly need his (or someone's) money. If he did change his ways, eat humble pie and get the right people in then who knows? This season is gone, we are down that's beyond argument. So lets all move forward together and awaken the giant, as they say. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 There is still time to correct the errors. Start by supporting Moore to build a more dynamic squad would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is ever hopeless. It might take a while to sort out but we can do it if DC is prepared to back off and leave football to those that know about it.

If that is so and he was to declare this as his way forward he would start to get fans on his side . I would also urge him to look at the successful clubs in English football. Many have foreign owners, but almost all if not all have a professional football structure to manage the club.
