JoshTheOwl Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 HVent read through the whole thread, but is it a case of DC isn’t paying up because we’ve been relegated and he doesn’t believe monies are due or he just doesn’t have the cash - if 1st point you wouldn’t blame him BUT if it’s not covered in the contract that this is possible it’s suicide.

He also once said he doesn't need the fans' money to run the club, and the line which he spins when he says he has the money but is being 'prevented' by the EFL rules, looks a nonsense - like most of what he says. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Mandaric picked us up on the cheap. Can’t remember what he had to fork out. But that included Hillsborough. Who owns the stadium now? Still Chansiri? I’m confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 You would think if he’d got any intentions of turning it around or funding the black hole, he’d have got ST’s on sale rapido to at least try and claw a tiny bit back I think he’s chucked towel in me and exploring ways of getting out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamjack Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I miss feeling involved with the club not walking in a stadium with his name plastered all over the stands. As I and others have stated on other posts. The silence will remaind until its impossible to hide what is really going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It really sounds like this time it's game over. DC and his chums are a disgrace. DC's reign apart from the exciting Wembley season, as been error filled, shambolic and one clueless disaster after another. I don't even think promotion would've solved all these issues neither, we'd have had parachute payments but the recruitment as been abysmal and that reckless and short-sighted we'd still have ended up where we are now, facing administration, going bust and having to start over again. After years of reckless spending; embargoes, points deductions and mess after mess. I can't see anyway back from this. Even if DC somehow pays up, we're still facing more embargoes; points deductions, administration or relegation. Most of all I feel sorry for all of us fans. It's the fans; the community, loyal staff and surrounding businesses that are and will be most effected by us going out of business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he is cooking up some way out of this that saves him face irrespective of the long term damage he has done to the club. Can you imagine the crowds reaction if he ever turned up in the director's box? I think his saving face supercedes the welfare of the football club IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting a striker in was effectively accepting relegation. In normal circumstances an owner in his position would take any offer just to get out and stop the losses . DC still wants mega money. Deluded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Netflix missed out bigtime when they decided to have Sunderland as the team to do a "Till I die" documentary. Our story is far more outrageous. As bad as it is for us suffeting souls the average footy fan would find it compulsive viewing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLB99 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Not sure if it's been covered already, but don't the financial rules (ffp or whatever it bow is) say that owners can't just pump monies into an club? Isn't there an annual limit to the amount that can be gifted, a percentage of turnover etc? Is it the Club rather than DC who owe the players but lack the funds due to turnover have caused issues? Wasn't the reason for selling the ground; by the Club, to one of his shell companies an attempt to get around the rules? Yes I know that was a huge mess up! Not trying to defend DC just asking the questions. Like everyone on here, I hope, I want the Club to succeed and rise again with DC or a new owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
