    Given the way Chansiri has run the club, no, it's impossible to feel sorry for them.

    Do I want them to go to the wall? No, no genuine football fan would want to see a club wound up. It's literally a lifeline for some people.

    Latest is their training ground isn't fit for purpose.
    Their north stand is in a more run down state than our west stand bogs and has safety concerns.
    Their players who are out of contract next month still haven't been paid.

    I have absolutely no sympathy for the owners of the club, it's pretty clear Chansiri is a con man and a charlatan, but, for the good men and women who work under him and the supporters I have a great deal of sympathy, the vast majority are no different to us, they want the best for their club and have been decieved and duped, it's a 'There but for the grace of the footballing gods go I.'

    Me too. It would be typical of them to land a multi billionaire owner in injury time ….

    Mandaric stepping away from making a deal with Chansiri. I think wendyites were hoping he'd be their saviour.
    Today's statement.

    Mandaric, 86, is believed to be in the UK on what was suggested to be a three-day visit to London. In a statement released to BBC Sheffield, he stated he remains ‘very concerned’ about the ongoing problems at Hillsborough but will not be pursuing further involvement in any attempt to help the club at this time.
