Appointed a COO 3. Nailed the retained list Yes, we can debate the ins and outs of each point (and have done) but for a club run so incompetently, baby steps are required. I don't hold back in my criticism of Chansiri and find it hard to trust him, but to be fair and giving the benefit of doubt, pretty happy with the club this week. Moore getting healthy is obviously a real positive Appointing a COO at SWFC is needed but will be someone allowed zero responsibility or decision making power Retained list was a ‘can’t afford any longer’ list - let’s not kid ourselves on that one 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll want to carry all the rings, make all the speeches, throw the bouquet to the bridesmaids.... no one else will get a look in. He’ll be the best groom at the wedding by a mile but no one on here will appreciate him apart from a few who recognize what a good groom looks like 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It’s steps in the right direction so far. The next bit of news we’d like to see is Chansiri selling the club.. or more realistic announce a proper CEO to run the club. Not going to happen but that would be another positive step Chansiri could make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Completely agree with OP, as you say, baby steps. Absolutely in the right direction though, let’s hope the next couple of weeks are positive as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they work that out. We have hardly any players under contract. Nobody has a clue what the team will look like. We could lose all our top players still signed to the club. Sky favourite BB could well be off, Windass too. It could well be that we have a first team full of U23 players who aren't ready or a complete mish mash of players if DC and his advisors run true to form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any odds from anywhere. I don’t know why people think these companies are privy to information. They’re not, and just like us they’re guessing. If you just got relegated from the championship, you’re obviously going to be tipped as one of the favs to go back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Good job that as Wednesdayites we’re conditioned to be easily pleased isn’t it? We don’t ask for much... just for our club to do normal football club things for once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spondon Owl Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 6 hours ago, yeadonowl said: You could argue 2 out of the 3 things were very easy to achieve The more pressing issues of refunding season ticket holders, paying players wages in full and up to date and producing timely financial information to release us from the embargo DC has gone on record to say refunds will be paid by the end of May. Players have been told wages will be paid and the club said we will be out of the embargo for the opening of the transfer window If all those promises are to be kept then the next couple of weeks are going to be just as busy Unfortunately I no longer believe a word that’s said and I fully expect all of the above to continue to drag on over the summer What will your view be if it does all happen?

Pay day is next week. So in total he has circa 3.5m to magically find to sort that issue out Come the end of June he will also have to find not not the wages but I’m presuming that there will be contract ending bonuses to pay as well Last years accounts were months late. This years are a month overdue next week Fans have been waiting 9 months for refunds Going on DCs attitude to all of this and going back to your question of what my view will be, then I’ll be ******g flabbergasted if it happens I hate using Leeds as an example but look at the quality of the new members of the board they brought in yesterday to strengthen the board. Football and investment people from all over Europe. D.C. thinks he can do it all on his own 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think Hutch could be our talisman next season and a good role model for our young lads. Going to show them how to kick their way out of League 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
