Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 When posters on here talk of the environment Chansiri creates for his managers, this is the kind of thing we mean. No matter what we think of the men who've sat in the dugout in recent seasons, none of them have been given the conditions in which to perform to the best of their abilities. Imagine being Luhukay, trying to instil the discipline he felt was needed in our squad, only to find out that Chansiri has told the players you're trying to move on to stick around in case he sacks you soon! How is any manager supposed to operate effectively in that kind of setup? 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T Hardy Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I’ve raised this before and was ridiculed, but I heard from a good source that Chansiri wanted between 6m-8m for Liam Palmer. It’s so obvious without knowing that why we don’t sell players, our owner is an idiot and puts stupid unrealistic values on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 The more I think about this, the more I realise how much this one interview speaks to the very heart of what's wrong at our club. 'It was difficult for me to get out because his thought on me didn't align with the manager's view.' The chairman's thoughts on a player didn't align with the manager's, so he kept the player just in case the next manager wanted him? Irrespective of the financial implications of such at approach, where's the vision / strategy for the club coming from if that's the case? What kind of team are we aspiring to be? What kind of players do we need to suit our approach? How are we going about shaping our squad to match this strategy? None of us can answer these questions, but far more worryingly, it's clear that our chairman can't either. He'd rather hang on to a bunch of players the manager doesn't want (eating into his transfer budget in the process, of course), and tell them to sit tight, because the next manager he employs might have a totally different approach to the last one he hired. There's no leadership at the top of our club, is there? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just to put a different slant on this interview......does anyone really believe that another championship club put in an offer to take Jones.......he’ll be saying next that they wanted Butterfield as well to create a title winning midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post latemodelchild Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just think, everyone who had a season ticket that season, your money went into the pocket of a player that didn't want to be here, didn't need to be here, and then you were blamed for not putting money in and when you did it didn't cover anything. Absolutely clueless and we're heading for more disasters under his ownership. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 British elite families used to send idiot sons into the church, or to some obscure colonial posting. Something that didn't matter, and got them out the way. Perhaps the new Asian elites are sending the inadequate sons off with a (finite) stash of cash to play with European sports teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishOwl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just one more point proving that we don't have managers but only coaches. I am so hoping so much that Moore is actually a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if he was a no-hoper, is it? He'd been a Premier League regular for Burnley and had put in two seasons of solid if unspectacular performances for us in the Championship before Luhukay decided not to use him.

WatfordOwl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Staggering. First of all the manager doesn't sign the players and we have no uniform system to which those players signed have to fit into. A manager makes a decision (which is his job) not to play an individual, and does not see them as part of the plan 'he' has for the team. Said player then talks to the man who pays his wages, doesn't let him leave even though he's been told not wanted at the club. No wonder the club is in the state it is. Makes you wonder why DC even bothers with a manager if he is making decisions like this. What chance does anyone running the football side have at the club? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If it didn’t make any difference then monkey business like this would be a baffling waste of money but DC’s money and up to him. But it does make a difference. Why would a Chairman not take any opportunity to get any wages for unused players off the books given the FFP constraints? It’s beyond madness. As to the ongoing and equally baffling issue of managers freezing out players for no reason anyone can really understand then I am endlessly amazed that this is something that happens with such regularity. Shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 As damning evidence you need that the man simply is clueless. How many other transfers did he block? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Even just pragmatically, we know Jones was on good money while here, being an ex Prem player and in his 30s. We could have easily put those wages into two younger players. Maybe both would have been unremarkable, but odds are both or at least one would have been more of an asset to the squad. It's such a shame that DC vetoed his own manager. Regardless what you think of Luhukay, he had literally decades more experience in football than DC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic chance to get him off the wage bill (god knows what he was earning). Incompetence. Just staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
