Harrypopper Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Whilst hindsite is a beautiful thing and Chansiri could have ended up being the man to make is the next Man City.. However, I remember at the time of his acquisition of our club, myself, in a previous guise and numerous others referred back to a broken promise from Milan Manderic when he agreed to sell is to Haifiz Mammadov.. 'he is a good man, a football man' Well that went to rat poo rather quickly cos the cheque bounced. Chansiris pocket money cheque obviously cleared and gave MM his profit. I dont blame MM as such, he is a business man and his job is to make money.. Symptomatic of modern football I suppose. The fit and proper persons test is clearly a joke.

Many people have a soft spot for Carlos but what if he had a manager in charge with promotions on the CV? Carlos bottled them big games for me. Really negative stuff shone through. I'd not heard of Carlos. Who had? Only Jose I think. Yep and all them signings virtually all left for nothing. The book 'How not to run a football club' should be a good read. All the time, when on the downslope, folk said 'Get football men in!' Oh no. And here we are... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri said at a fans forum that Mandaric was a far richer man than himself. Which was worrying at the time. Fit and proper persons test just checks for major things like war crimes apparently. Absolutely nothing test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASSIVE_WEDNESDAY Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We are currently trending on Twitter with rumours of players resigning.. With all of the rumours flying around we need to hear something from the club, we need clarification as to what is happening. Silence just fuels more speculation and rumours. What is the plan.. Is there a plan??? Also what can we realistically do as fans, are we happy to just accept our fate and turn up on the day? Can anyone fill me in on the u23s form because the way things are going they will all be getting promoted to the first team in the near future, if we are in a position to start the season at all. There has to be some substance to what we are hearing. No smoke without fire.. The time is now for action to be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything if he’s selling for that price a fans group could buy Hillsborough then just bin him off and start our own club The current North stand at Hillsborough is the second one to be built in English football and the first to run the entire length of the pitch. Due to its groundbreaking and unique architecture at the time it was built, we should apply to get it listed. That’d scupper any plan to sell the ground for anything other than a football stadium. If Parkhill flats can be listed than our North Stand can surely. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/apply-for-listing/ Edited May 31, 2021 by TrickyTrev 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KcebSWFC11 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 If the players quit & he replaces them all with free agents on £7k per week maximum (for example). Is it punishable with more points deductions? As mental as it sounds, could this be the strategy of a madman to bring the expenses down faster? Didn’t Leeds United have a wage cap of £10k per week? Maybe he’s trying to force something similar? he’s an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Carlos probably got half the players he asked for. I don't think Carlos decided when and for how much the signings left for. Carlos has nothing to do with how badly the club has been run, and to argue that anyone else other than Chansiri, the man who micro manages everything, is to blame, is absolutely laughable. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I can’t believe we find ourselves not only back in league one but in financial trouble again and feeling like the clubs very existence is under threat. The last 20 odd years have been largely abject set for a couple of promotions back to what is effectively the old division 2. The play off final was a huge opportunity missed and no succession planning inevitably lead to a decline coupled with mismanagement of the accounts and a shameful points deduction. Chansiri has brought shame on our club. He needs to do the right thing and sell us for a realistic price to someone who knows how to run a football club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I have very little business acumen but I am utterly convinced I would have done a better job at running SWFC than Chansiri 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
