Thanks for that @floyd. I tried and failed to decipher what that was at the end of the match last night.
Incidentally, I thought Soonderlunt were pretty impressive and looked like a side that will be knocking on the door of the Premier League this season. Jack Clarke in particular looked like a full England prospect. His goalscoring record ad a winger is prodigious.
I have a fair degree of sympathy with his view that some Owls fans have overstepped the mark
It reminds me that too large a minority of football fans are abrasive, opiniated cunts who couldn't run a tuck shop far less a football club, but are happy to share their acerbic & poisonous view of the current owner & his/her failings

A bit amateur - didn't even mention mums' basements.
If he really is putting in £2m of his own money into the club each month, then the club is being badly run and is not sustainable.
Also wonder how much he'll be losing after 30,000 "people who should respect him" stop going every week.
That might be the case but 2M a month is the average loss per month in the Championship, to be precise it’s £476000 per week per club in 21/22.
Two clubs were losing in excess of a million a week in 21/22.
He has a point though in terms of his family and loved ones being targeted.
If he stops his investment then the club will be running sustainably. No bad thing
Time and time again, it seems to be owning a football club is an expensive and largely thankless task isn't it?
That's quite incredible. How does this square with FFP and the idea that clubs can only spend some figure relative to their income?
I think external investment is included as income.
He consistently padded out FFP, for ages they had 3 main sponsors, none of which traded in the UK at all.
If losing £2m a month is average for the championship btw it's still crazy and remember they've only just got back, it's mental in L1.
This guy has his own name picked out in the seats of the main stand. Incredible!
Not sure about FFP but here are the figures per week
If he immediately stops his £2m investment per month I can't see the HMRC getting much money!
Might as well write that off now. Funny how it's always the tax they can't quite stretch to.
I was disappointed to see Hugh Jackman is getting a divorce. No spare cash to buy a football club for a while.
I reckon he could easily still.... and we should still be that team !
A useful reminder that our owner might be slightly annoying at times but isn't batshit insane.
Probably what they were saying this morning
2-0 down tonight after eight minutes. Oh boy.
Ouch 3 down and fans leaving half hour in. Hope they're all being polite on the way out.
What a week for the steel city's teams.
What happened with Darren Moore, honestly hadn’t realised till the other day that he is no longer their manager?
My colleague (admittedly a Blade) told me that one of Wednesday’s sponsors was a Chansiri owned firm called D Taxis.
Who didn’t have any taxis.
Still, probably got a few lucrative contracts off Chris Grayling.
From what I recall, he was making completely unrealistic salary demands and the owner wasn't having it.
Prospective buyers should be warned that at most football clubs in England begin called a useless c**t is considered constructive criticism.
What to people think about spam being allowed on here?
It’s everywhere these days
He just got them promoted, if you can't ask for a pay rise then when can you. Can't imagine his replacement is earning buttons.
If he was being serious then this is the first comment I've seen which takes the owner's side over Darren Moore's
Keep those hot takes coming

It's one of the stands along the side, I think possibly opposite the dugouts. It's exactly what I'd do if I owned a football club TBF.
My view FWIW is that
Chansiri makes Rob look reasonable & sane.
