No, I’ve no idea what you mean. He is a youth player. He was promoted to the first team set up last season at a time when we were short on players and equipped himself well. This season he’s been thrown back into the first team due to our dear leader allowing 16 senior pros to leave and not be replaced. His development hasn’t been managed as it should be due to the situation the club is in. Rather than being supported by our fans he’s being castigated as “not good enough” “never going to make it at this level” “can’t defend” “looks terrified with the ball at his feet” Give it a few weeks and the same will be being said of the other youth players being thrust into the first team. I genuinely don’t understand people calling for youth to be given a chance and then not giving them a chance. It’s weird and really unhelpful in providing a platform for us to bring players through from the academy.

Otegbayo is 20 years old, he is one of the youth players who should be given a chance. I cannot fathom those who call for youth to be given a chance in one breath and condemn them in the next. Whether he makes it or not is still very much unknown. That’s what taking a chance on youth is all about.

Maybe we should all start buying tickets and attending the matches so we can boo him when he makes a mistake. That’s usually how we help the lads from the academy learn they’re not good enough.

No

Yep. Still dealing with idiots who rather than admitting they don’t know what they’re on about keep on posting rubbish. I mean, it’s a football forum, so I expect people to have subjective views on football topics. And disagreeing with them, no matter how off the wall they are, is part of the fun of this forum. Though people posting things about corporate finance, administration processes, legislative procedures, or assets of community value that are demonstrably incorrect, and then refusing to back down when it’s pointed out to them just makes it tiring. And by doing so means that the things people come onto the forum to find out gets lost. And the fact they start multiple threads about their nonsense makes it even worse. So yeah, bad evening.

Again, not what was being discussed. Just put the thread down and walk away from the keyboard.

Not only is that not true - there’s currently an ITV drama on this very topic - it’s also fairly irrelevant. Chansiri had to apply for a provisional licence to operate the club. The legislation outlines what he needs to demonstrate in order to be granted this licence. His past behaviour very much comes into that. It is not that he has broken the law, it is that he is unable to demonstrate compliance with the licensing requirements, and is therefore subject to the powers the regulator is granted by the law.

Stop. Digging.

You mean Chansiri demonstrating he’s a competent owner in order to obtain his provisional licence won’t just be based on him saying “look, I’ve paid this month’s wages”? I’m shocked.

You’ve demonstrated you don’t know what you’re talking about. It would be sensible to just admit that and stop posting.

He can, he did, and he’s not.

Incorrect

The football governance act is primary legislation which received royal assent in July. Now a regulator has to be set up and secondary legislation implemented in order for the act to be enforced.

You should start a thread about it so that everyone is aware. Icebergs are a subject that hardly anyone is talking about.

Yep. And triggered by the same comments being made by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.
