Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 Excellent summary. Wouldnt also like to add that it's great to see one of the local journos stick their head above the parapet. I have the odd crack at them, in good humour I hope, but they walk a tight-rope reporting on club affairs. For them it's a tricky balancing act. Getting club news is their bread and butter, and highlighting wrong doings and farcical situations at the risk of that has scared many into conformity over the years. I applaud Alex for this piece and for getting it out there to a wide audience who, as SiJ correctly says, might not always be fully aware. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taximark Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Well said Alex I've even ordered your book too bcz you come across a good guy with honest accounts. Not many people like to speak the truth about Chansiri ..but you have aired it and for that you have my respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try Alex but I'm afraid the Clown analogy rests with you my friend. Swinging your legs around wildly repeatedly falling over on the floor. All quite funny in terms of take downs. Yet, have you managed to land even one serious kick to the balls that could send DC spinning ? I think not ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The Star will no doubt be banned from covering future club events, press conferences etc for having the audacity to tell the truth here. Certain people at our club don’t like it when the blame is apportioned onto them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the only part of the article I disagree with. I don't believe for a second Fletcher wanted to stay at Wednesday. He knew he wouldn't get the deal he wanted and Stoke were happy to pay his wages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent player, but we all know what he was up to when he got "injured" after the last season restarted. Once again though, we put ourselves in that position by allowing a player to get into the last 6 months of his contract. Last night we will have had several in the same position who are likely to leave in the summer. Hardly a surprise we are on the brink of relegation with a team who look like they couldn't give a throw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most peoples reaction to it being a "great article" stems from a journalist having the balls (at last) to write a more scathing piece about the calamitous running of the club. Not because it was strewn with stuff we weren't already painfully aware of. Edited March 19, 2021 by Morepork 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no agenda against Miller, he’s a good up and coming journalist; I just think he’s ranting like we do on here. It’s an opinion I wholeheartedly agree with but the article is just an opinion piece and there’s no journalistic rigour about the piece at all. Neil (@OwlsTalk) created a thread the other week that chronologically listed all of Chansiri’s decisions; the opening post that Neil created for that thread was miles better than this article of Millers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’m curious about the suggestion that Chansiri has been very generous to the staff during the pandemic, with a little help from furlough no doubt, and that there is a long list of people who have worked for/with him that vouch for his character. I’m not doubting that it’s true but it doesn’t alter the fact that he’s been a complete disaster for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 No real news, but a journalist who has decided to stop kissing arse with the club. Pardon the remark but, aren't journos supposed to do that anyhow ? This is no great watergate moment. This should have been done two years ago. I agree with shandypants comment above wholeheartedly Time for the media to stop sucking his ******** and dig into the situation. Paxo for one ?Why did we lose our CEO ? The books ? Even the bloody boiler house for the pitch. And they keep quiet ? For what ? So they can get into the game free and enjoy a prawn sandwich for nowt ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
