  1. Probably correct. I suspect if any, Bannan is the closest to being able to play over Easter.
  2. Agree. For reasons known only to Chansiri, he's spending millions every season to take a club, where isn't wanted, backwards. He may own the assets of the business, but he isn't and never will be part of the Wednesday family, now increasingly isolated with a dwindling minority trying to justify his continued stewardship.
  3. Has he? (I'm not having a go btw, just interested and wondered when because I can't recall)
  4. Absolutely agree. At this stage of the season there's no room for pragmatism in games we are likely to lose anyway.
  5. Röhl deserves to work in a professional environment, I don't know enough about Sunderland, but for sure Chansiri's business isn't. Chansiri's abhorrent version of our club is the Sheffield equivalent of Glasgow's Willy Wonka experience.
  6. I hate what football has become, lawyers negotiating points deductions takes any last element of integrity out of the game. I understand the PR of financial regulations, but underneath it all, its to protect the haves from being challenged by the have nots. How dare a club not from the big 6 brands think they should be able to compete and spoil their merchandise sales in Asia. Regarding penalties, if they really did want to make it a deterrent, stop f*cking about and make any financial breach automatic relegation. Of course they won't, be like turkeys voting for Christmas and this is the result of clubs regulating themselves. Football needed strong governance a long time ago, but authorities went missing, the FA abdicated that to the EPL, both whoring themselves out to Sky et al for the pure greed of money. As for Leicester, have zero sympathy fo a club who cheated in the past by going into administration. Really who gives a f*ck if they start life back in the EPL with a points deduction, they'll be coming back down anyway like the majority of newly promoted clubs, just revolving cannon fodder.
  7. The ship is sinking under captain Chansiri, only.kept afloat by Röhl at the minute, desperately trying to plug the leaks caused by Chansiri handing Munoz a pick axe to go to town on the hull.
  8. Yep. A lot being made of a brief comment after the Ipswich game. He's not wrong though.
  9. I think that's probably the most likely impact of any regulator, rather than any direct action in a reasonable timeframe. Surely the penny has to drop with Chansiri one day that he isnt wanted.
  10. That'll be a fun meeting then; a man with years of experience at the very highest level, ultra professional in every sense trying to implement any sort of proper infrastructure and planning at the football club....talking to another man; whose a f*cking idiot. I imagine this will be the managers office, shortly after...
  11. I like Windass, he's a good player. But, in an environment increasingly governed by statistics, the most important is availability before you get to any of the other in game contributions. Windass routinely misses large parts of every season. It's not his fault, but can only be a good player if he's on the pitch, which he isn't anywhere near enough.
  12. Both, Bannan still the beating heart of this team and Poveda can make things happen. Take either out of the team and we immediately look pedestrian and lacking any attacking spark, take both out of the team and we look absolute dogsh*t. That's not to take anything away from other players who are an honest bunch, but we've spoken a lot about quality this season and these two are the ones who both have genuine quality and can perform consistently
  13. I don't dare to dream because I don't want to jinx it, so I'm going to stick to being a miserable bugger and that we'll come up short (and hope fate makes me look stupid, again). That said, if Bannan and Poveda are missing for any period of time, we are f*cked.
  14. That's a huge problem. Without those two on the pitch we don't really look like scoring, a shadow of the team with them playing.
  15. Chansiri has killed the club, probably why I've been so quiet on here, because it's hard to care anymore. Whatever brief periods of hope are created will just be undone and deliberately sabotaged, to the extent it's pointless. Chansiri has no money left, what he has spent has been wasted and still he stubbornly hangs around where he isn't wanted. Everything at the club is done to the bare minimum, with no foresight or evidence of planning. Facilities are crumbling and no football infrastructure in place, which even L2 clubs would consider essential. As for Röhl, I think he's already proved himself a good manager at the level, with potential to be an excellent manager in the not too distant future. I don't expect him to be here next season, which is another reason its hard to become invested in this abhorrent version of our football club. 40 odd years ago would the 5 year old me going to his first match fall in love with Chansiri's Wednesday? No, not a chance, notwithstanding my Dad wouldn't have been able to afford tickets, it is no longer the family club I fell in love with and looked forward to going to. I have fond memories which I can hang on to, but the current incarnation leaves me numb. Ultimately, there is no hope under Chansiri and without hope, there is no future.
