Whether he's got any money is debatable, I don't believe he has, but I can't prove it. I'm almost certain if he does have any it either isn't his or he's burning though it at an unsustainable rate. There's undoubtedly an end game, not sure what it is, but there's definitely one. He's literally a less stable version of fat Les and we all saw how that played out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to the PL within 2 seasons then he'll have spent a conservative estimate of £250-300m, going on AB's previous post. Even in the PL we are not a £200m club. Nobody buys a club to clear what the previous owner has put in. Poundland will take owt north of £100m to get rid. Both them and Luton will pick up around £120m for being in the PL this season so even if we get promoted and our next buyer mortgages future revenue to fund the sale then they've still only got half of what DC has put in, so we end up in the land of piganomics with debt and notes hanging over our heads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know him and never have. But you have assumed up my thoughts pretty well. If he was really going to have anything to do with buying the club, obviously with backing because he hasn't got the money to do it himself, then he would not have the need to splash it all around the press, he would just get it done on the quiet. My other thought is that he has only done it to promote himself as a person that can be a middle man or front man in big deals in the hope someone else gives him a big chance. Not impressed with him at all. Hope I am wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBRA Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I think it’s simple - if he was serious it would be done in the background. When DC came on board and it got close to being done DC showed his faith by buyer players for the club BEFORE officially taking over! Once these “buyers” hit the press, trying to win over the fans, instead of sorting it direct it screams publicity only! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBRA has summed it up perfectly, it's all about getting publicity for himself. As an aside, my comments about school and Pizza Hut weren't a reference to myself, but to others who have used those quarter of a century old experiences to justify why they believe he's a 'good bloke'.

Whether they’ve said that given the opportunity they’d front the financial implications is another thing entirely. He announced on his Facebook he was buying the club, then promptly deleted his account the morning of the first press conference when it was obvious he wasn't. The account appeared back a week or so later with all references removed, like it never happened... There is no consortium, he's chasing publicity, that's all it is. I'm not sure what the end game is, I have a theory, but it's so preposterous I can't bring myself to post it because without any context I'll sound like an absolute loon (if I don't already). He's been a bit unlucky the way a few things have worked out for him over the years, but that doesn't make what he's doing here right.

KrolMong Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 A couple of people on this forum have heard similar things from In the Know people. Chansiri has a set value of the club that has now increased since promotion, and as it stands now, he’s not going to accept less than that. Is that value realistic? No. Will he get it? No. Can you get clubs in a better state on and off the pitch for less? Yes. Is this US based Wednesday fan going to be able to buy the club? Not a prayer. As mentioned previously, he’s using the club to generate interest in his other ventures which is fine. The going concern has to be whether Chansiri has the clout to be able to ensure we are still a Championship club in May 24, and based on previous seasons, that would also be a yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's be no point buying us to tread water so realistically you'd want someone with £200m knocking about of his own cash, which means a billionaire.

HoylandOwl Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 That’s weird. As others have said, it SEEMS like he’s not got the brass or that’s the impression it gives. But then pushes it back on DC. I’ve no doubt he’s an Owl, as there are folks I know who’ve known him for quite some time.

Only way it gets done is similar to one Mandaric did with loan note holders when he took over It’s only overvalued if you’re desperate to sell. Otherwise you can set a price you’re happy to sell at. I’ve had a few people try to buy the painting that’s my profile picture and they offer just under what’s considered market value. I don’t really want to sell it, so if they want to buy it they have to pay my “I don’t want to sell it price” (to quote American Pickers.) when DC says if someone thinks they can do a better job, they can buy the club, it doesn’t mean he’s giving it away to the first person that thinks they know how to run it better than him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
