Or is he selling up and the new owner has paid. Why would he have loads of money and not pay wages for 3 months? Makes no sense to me. Hope he pays the players who are still owed and left the club now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many normal people, I form opinions based on discussions, body language and other factors. I'm not outing individuals because I could be wrong but I'm confident enough to post on a message board that all wasn't well in our dressing room for the last 3 years. I don't think we need Sherlock Holmes to work that out. You lay the blame solely at the Chairman. Personally I think one or two players didn't act professionally. As human beings fair enough it happens. As professional football players I believe they could have acted differently at times. Sorry for that. OK that's fair enough. I'm still unclear about the part where you said you had spoken to the players about it. Was that just a joke that's gone over my head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Nixon all players have been paid now including those still under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacré bleu Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Plonk said: Is that the same Gary Monk that publicly slated the players at Christmas, told the public that those wouldn’t be here next season, then wondered why our form fell off a cliff? At a time when the players weren’t getting paid? He should do motivational speaking. He could go on after David Brent. I'm sure that's what he said on a number of occasions. I'm not necessarily saying he practiced what he preached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i feel he should just say thats the reason to stop all the press negativity getting to fans. Seems more likely the problem was Chansiri didn't have money until now, or has purposely waited to sort it until now to p*ss some people off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At businesses I've worked at/for - whenever there have been pay issues or staff have been messed about, a couple might have handed their notice in, but over the next few months many more left one way or another I don't think we've seen the full fallout and repercussions yet 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is not a good combination for us to go forward? At least he payed and we won’t get hit with a points deduction again ( hopefully not) on the plus side he gota be saving £150 k a week wages from the start of July that is a huge amount and you would think moore would be able to assemble a squad for this league on a third of that amount ? Anyway let’s see when accounts finally get published just how far in the mire we are You can't begin to know how much I wanted to highlight areas and edit your post. But then, I would be a control freak as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spondon Owl Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 This is really positive news. Nothing more than that really. On a even keel, which is what we all wanted. Now make a signing or two with some youth, pace, power and the positivity will start to gain traction. Chansiri can do no more really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
