If I had my time again during that era I would never have become as involved vociferously or as ‘politically’ as I did. Not saying I wouldn’t have still been critical, but nothing like I how was. Unless something very sinister is going on, supporters need to stay out of the politics going on at the club, unless they’ve a big wallet and can put their money where their mouths are. It matters more to me what happens on the pitch these days than off it, which is how it should have always been. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tbh we were spending thousands at the casino Me and Mrs Half Pint met him and his lovely Wife when we were on our Honeymoon in Cyprus. We got married at Hillsborough so a major coincidence we would bump into the Chairman in a restaurant. Anyway, we ended up spending the evening with them (not in that way, we had only been married 4 days) and joined them for lunch at their 5 star hotel next day. All costs picked up by DA Inc restaurant we had met them. Even offered us the use of their car whilst there.

Chelters Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Ironically if you took the best bits of Chansiri (cold hard cash and enthusiasm), Allen (business acumen and local knowledge) and Mandaric (experience in running football clubs and a bit of cunning) you’d probably have the perfect chairman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably shock a few posters (and wish I had kept it that way) on here that I was not really interested in club politics until the infamous cretins speech and the no go on Gregg as a buyer of the Club. I actually joined this site - well an historic relic of it - to try and grasp what the fuck was going on. It was then very easy to get dragged into stuff, I guess culminating in the WTID stuff. But then you step back again and leave it for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I was trying to recall which one of the old guard it was that was contacted by Radio Sheffield whilst driving in France and had no clue about the winding up order / impending Court case. I certainly don't look back on past owners with any rose tinted glasses.

I think the issue is he used his status at S6 to advance his own cause. And his handling of Di Canio cost the club millions But I only got embroiled - blame Reesh he encouraged me - when there was a belief the then directors were taking the club no where and the dross, Sheard, Cloud 9 were taking an interest in asset stripping the Club. But unless football was better regulated then no way fan ownership would work. But people always confused fan ownership with fan day to day management. However the fact there was an 8m hole when MM took on the Club, there was no way I could advocate fans "investing" to cover that. MM taking on the Club was a huge sense of relief for those of us involved in that shizzle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
