mcmigo Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The part saying he should be admired for investing money - absolute nonsense. here’s the thing we ALL invested more money in Sheffield Wednesday over the last few years as we paid more for tickets, more for replica kits. I paid big money for hospitality , big money for kids to be mascots under his mad pricing. Here’s the thing - none of us supporters had any control whatsoever as to how that hard earned money of ours was blown. That was down to the chairman. The fact is he burned our money as much as he did his own with his decision making. the people who should be admired for pouring money in are the supporters, who saw the money we spent blown, our team relegated, our ground sold . And here’s the last thing- none of us will get a penny back of the money we have wasted on the club over the past 6 years. DC should accept the exact same outcome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference between "admired" and "appreciated" Is it wrong to be able to both appreciate what someone did in putting 100m into club almost getting us to premier and also be angry at the complete mess up that has happened subsequently? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 He's invested hundreds of millions and the club has two gold elephants to show for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that was banned on here at one point! Don't want to derail the thread as you say though. Chansirir will certainly not appreciate Dom putting this out in the open when he has previously given him his time above all other journalists. Why has it taken relegation for this to happen? Feeling braver now the straw has well and truly broke the camels back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate is to recognise the effort which he did try. To admire is to look up to someone as someone to aspire to. I do not admire him in any shape or form but do appreciate what he tried to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t put that into the club he put it into the pockets of agents, bad players, Steve Gibson , the owners of Watford etc etc. The club has gone down in value not up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Well done Dom. He has asked the questions, supporters have asked him to, in a constructive way. Thumbs up from me. He has as good a chance as anyone of getting a reply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
