areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 He's not wrong in what he's saying - many of us have been saying the same for months, and it's good that it's finally being presented to a wider audience. All those sentence fragments make it a bloody hard read, though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Still, Hillsborough was nice while we owned it) I wouldn't put my money on it though. He has learnt nothing that I can see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hornsby Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Since Sheffield Star and local radio stood silent while our club was being destroyed from within. Pearson was right. Local media craven. They knew about Doyen and Bin Laden for example and said nowt.Also transfer bans. Just to pay mortgages on mansions in Millhouses. This article is way, way too late. And crap. Any decent journo would have got Katrien ,even off record, by now. Edited March 19, 2021 by Hornsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It’s a refreshingly forthright article. Only thing I am not sure about is saying DC cares about Sheffield Wednesday. Not sure he does anymore personally. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally one of the local journos has had the balls to tell it how it is https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/alex-miller-sheffield-wednesday-has-been-a-clown-car-for-too-long-and-now-it-has-crashed-3170737 Brilliant article, glad they have posted something on this level. Shows that at least the opinion of many, see how Chansiri reacts to this piece. According to Star, not worth losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It's good to see an article like this in terms of the wider audience it will reach. Many of us have been aware for a long time just what a mess the club is in. This article will help to show others. It shines a light on the mistakes, even if it doesn't name the person responsible for a lot of them. I know the buck stops with DC but he's either being advised and ignoring it or he's following bad advice. He said himself he doesn't really know how to run a club when he took over. He hasn't learned from any of his mistakes, he hasn't capitalised on any of his successes. Until we know the reason for that and remove it from the equation we will continue to fail. Well done to Alex for writing this piece. I know he posts and reads on here so hopefully he will be taking pleasure in the positive reaction. More power to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Calx Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Chansiri needs to just step away now and employ people who have a proven track record of working within football and allow them to steer the club in the right direction. A director of football who has previously been a player would be a good start. All communication needs to be handed over to someone else too. DC is just a disaster due to his message being lost in translation. If he really does care about the club he'll admit his failings and step away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Great article, fair play to Alex and the Star for getting stuff like this out there. I for one am looking forward to the day we're relegated and seeing the DC press conference where he lays down fire to all and sundry, blaming everyone but himself for this mess, making convoluted points and contradicting things that he said only a few months previously. Don't get me wrong, I'm fuming with his running of the club but I'm looking forward to it in the same way it's funny to watch a child fall over or a good rubberneck at something on the opposite carriageway of the M1. Might as well get some enjoyment out of this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassetts Allsorts Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Great work by Alex. I think the media finally said enough is enough after the Huddersfield game. I hope every single media outlet sacrifices their 'privilege' of an 8 hour press call with our Supreme Leader every 6 months to actually start holding him accountable for his appalling decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he's a local sports writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
