Leeds struggled with that I think Jacob Adler had the stadium and someone else had the club. But in that instance it was because different parties bought different elements of the club which is an even worse scenario and unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Assume he winds the club up. What does he get? The playing staff will immediately be free agents and the shirts in the club shop will be returned. He'd be better off letting it go for £5 and keeping the 2 grounds, at least he'll have a tenant for 5 years or so before it's developed into student flats on both sites.

I don't think he would ever wind up the company, he has put too much money in and he would probably get a decent sum even just selling the football side I still think it would be option 2 because he would get the rent at least or could sell Sheffield 3 with the commercial value of that lease the key determinant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelters Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 It wouldn’t be that difficult to package the stadium up as part of the sale. Let’s not forget he hasn’t even finished paying for it yet (which he would have to do if he liquidated the club). I don’t think he’s interested in being the owner of the stadium, it only happened because of the FFP issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree, it would be eminently sensible for the stadium to be wrapped up in any sale. My context is whether he could if he wanted detonate either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what people say the Thais are honourable people and would it come to this? Sure the Head of the Chansiri family would not want his Son bringing into disrepute the history of the Club and its existence. Would imagine thd TUF brand would be brought into the public eye should anything of this nature come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly wanting his money back if the club is sold. If he does get his money back, well, will remain to be seen but I just can't see him throwing it away. Some may consider DC as a little crazy in some of his decision making, and with all these statements etc, but I just don't see him chucking his cash in the bin any time soon. He's done enough of that already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBRA Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 So we need a buyer who can as I understand it do the following: Hire a top class manager Provide transfer budget to suit said manager Buy young players who will be worth 5+ million in 2 years so we can sell them Buy experienced players focussed on success only and not a pay day Lower cost of entry to WBA levels from season 2 whilst invoking the lower tiers of current one from takeover Overhaul facilities throughout the ground Upgrade the training ground Gain promotion within 3 years of taking over just because of FFP No doubt I’ll now be told of course not … just want the club to be run well … .

Winco Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I wonder if DC has the blessing of his family in all of this? After all DC isn’t even a member of the board on TUF, so surely the money that has bankrolled us isn’t officially his? Why hasnt TUF come in with some business managers or whatever kingmong or AB is to sort out this mess? cause the money has a origin and it ain’t DC.

Not sure there is any evidence the money comes from TUF directly. Chansiri may get a dividend from the profits but his holding is less than 0.5%. There was talk of a construction business in Thailand But he could easily be the front for an investment syndicate, maybe involving the family. I still think peer pressure from Thailand is the more likely way he would sell up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUF branding was everywhere when Chansiri joined, then it quickly disappeared. He may not listen to anyone in this country, but it looks like someone can change his mind.

Tylluan Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Didn't the TUF branding have to disappear because the son of the other bloke who owns TUF owned Reading at the same time? Sure the Fa/EFL did an investigation to make sure Chansiri and the Reading owner were funded separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 If the family / TUF are involved in anyway it is very frustrating better advice or assistance is not given. DC comes across very much a solo entity and a solo loose cannon at that. If things do get proper messy with DC, and I can't see it going that route but any protests / campaigns could include the TUF or TUG as think they are now hastag. Sure its not the publicity they want linked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) TUF released a statement saying the purchase wasn’t anything to do with them. Presumably because they have shareholders. Id guess it’s more likely a private project with investment from the Chansiri family but left to DC and his family. From what we know about DC these days I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought it was a good idea to stick TUF on there as brand marketing only to be told by those who know how things work that it wasn’t permitted.
