I should probably have said I expect there were two statements written before today. But in pre-preparing his "statement" he's fiddling while Wednesday burn. He shoulda been doing something better with his time to protect his business 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I get the feeling someone at the club will be sacked soon. Maybe Moore, maybe Paxo, I think someone will leave in an attempt to make a statement Ed Woodward style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Well, that’s a pretty nondescript statement. Could have been (and probably has been) drawn up by some PR agency. He will think he’s done his duty now by issuing this and appeasing some of his customers, and then we won’t hear from him for god knows how long, by which time we will be continuing our plummet ever downwards while the plan he forever claims we have got never comes to fruition. I wouldn’t trust him to look after my pet hamster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly wishful thinking also. The thing is, it would not only be better for SWFC but also for Chansiri. Any statement that claims to take responsibility but which leaves him running the business is meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some certainty unless we get someone with loads of money and the right attitude which will not just crop up over night as Mel Morris has just found out. Did Alonso ever show the ££££ ??

Like it or not, it's from him, it clearly follows the (interesting) flow of previous statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was no detail re what went wrong and no detail on how it can be put right. It’s meaningless. He may have plans. He may know what went wrong. But this statement reveals neither and any of you who are satisfied with it - I have a bridge for sale if you want one. Did you stop reading after my first sentence?

Carlos said he's a human who doesn't feel pressure.. with everything that was at stake during that huge financial gamble I think Carlos didn't realise how NAIVE his boss was/is. Anybody can handle pressure if they can't see the danger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any statement that claims to take responsibility but which leaves him running the business is meaningless. There is hints of change but nothing you can nail down. We will have to wait and see. If someone came out the woodwork who had the cash and didn’t reek of being a fantasist who wanted to buy the club then I could see that being quite attractive and I think the truth of the matter is if that person existed DC would be willing to hear them out. He doesn’t need to make that known to us. If he’d said in a statement I’ve taken you as far as I can and im selling, that would be more concerning than this bullish and stablising response as it just creates more uncertainty for building a team and attracts the sharks. Sunderland seem to have a decent new owner on paper for league one and we could do with them going up. But in terms of comparison with the money DC has spent/wasted here he doesn’t even seem same ball park with talks of 60m to invest over a few years. The pandemic and FFP rules must be making people with cash think twice as it’s much harder to buy a club and spend to the PL any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
