[bassett one]

well take it your solution is get mr chansiri to sell,so if he puts us up for sale ,by the time everthing is done we will be down anyway,then what if he decides the new owner should pay the wages and we could end up  minus points for 2025 ,i take it you all know of a mr someone with millions to buy the club and ground ect?its hard in a league with others with huge amounts of cash,sufc have found out you need big cash,lets hope he can get things stable,as i take it these new players have contracts of 12 months or more,re- our managers CV i think mr chansiri made a mistake of him saying i have a record of entertaining football last time i managed a team in this league and i got them promoted and with my great contacts i can do it here ,i dont think mr chansiri is a bad man ,but hes so taken in by believing people and you cannot say hes not spent millions and hes said hes has made mistakes with that cash.

Why don't you just put your hands up & say 'yep. I bought the emperors new clothes with Chancer but now I can see he's a d1ck'

 

Or are you mesmerised by the golden elephants - pretty soon you'll be installing white elephants, cos that's where your club is going

Never insinuated that he’s a “bad man”, whatever that entails.

 

I was merely pointing out the vast catalogue of catastrophic decisions & monumental mistakes he has made. It’s an endless track record of the destruction of Sheffield Wednesday. And there is no way on gods Green earth that anyone can suggest that even half of that list was down to “bad advice”.

 

He call the shots. He is responsible for every final decision.

 

Love the “let’s hope he can get things stable” comment. He’s only had 8 years of stabilising the ship so far. And it’s still sinking.

Good old Mr Chansiri …SWFC is a subsidiary of Sheffield 2 Ltd ..a company he set up …& there is notice published today for the dissolving of Sheffield 2 …..basically because the accounts haven’t been filed at Company’s House..

 

Im sure it can be resolved in minutes ..but in the instance it can’t ….then Sheffield 2 will be struck off & liquidation for its subsidiaries …

 

What’s your take on it Bassett ?
