  1. Virtue signalling being a "better fan" is stupid Doing it by violently assaulting some one in front of their kids is reprehensible. Hope is arrested for it never mind banned. If you have witnessed it and don't contact the police to help, you are condoning it.
  2. Ita gonna take 3 -5 years to get back to where we were last year on the pitch and caught up with the clubs around us off it. After that it's anyones guess.
  3. Good turn out can help sure, but anyone buying the club is gonna look at the last 5 years atleast and judge based on that, what the potential uptick is. And if they don't then they are not the kind of owners we want. Stop with the hyperbolic statements we are now into a season where people put them selves in debt because they feel pressured to spend. Let's not add to that by making out it is life or death for the club. At this stage anyone that has time money and inclination is going to go, and anyone who is looking to buy us already has an offer in or is putting it together. Its between the administrators and who ever they pick now
  4. Ginger hair clogging up your drains too, ******** awful situation to be in.
  5. They looked at the numbers and added up the 20kish average utd attendance, and the 26k average Wednesday Attendance and figured with less competition they would easy be able to push that to around 50k for a single club in the city. Pure spreadsheet logic, with no soul to it. I am glad they got dismissed out of hand, but if I was utd fans I would be kicking up stink that it was even suggested, shows their owners have no idea the football heritage they own. Piggies might not be us, but they are still one of the grand old clubs of the EFL and an institution in their own right.
  6. People don't like to admit it, but the toxic environment at Hillsborough has allowed some right bell ends to flourish. We can point and blame Chancer and his lack of stewarding etc, but the fact remains these are grown adults responsible for their own decisions. In the past few years our fans have been in the news for way too many negative incidents The Bradley Lowery one, The Kasey Palmer one, multiple instances of throwing dangerous objects (not counting the tennis ball protest obviously), key sniffers in the bogs every home game. Every time people say "oh but its just a minority" and they are 100% right it is, but its the noisy minority that gets noticed. We already have a massive albatross just with the name Hillsborough, we need to have proper effective stewarding and policing and methods to allow people engaging in this kind of behaviour to be reported and removed quickly, we also need people to feel comfortable and encouraged to step up and report this kind of stuff. Something as simple as texting with the seat number so some one can check on it would be helpful. Because the vast majority of Wednesdayites are good people, and these scummers are going to ruin our reputation and name if heads keep getting buried in the sand.
  7. Don't tell captain stress here about the "top bins".
  8. For now, but the growth in both finance and footprint of the Womens side of the game is huge. It will take a generation or so to normalise it but it will become normal, you don't have to like it or watch it, but the incessant putting it down is getting old. I hope there are lots of happy Mums and dads taking their kids to it, getting to be exposed to football, the Mens game is getting away from the average family, especially at the so called "Elite" level.
  9. It doesnt matter how many asterisks are there, it doesnt matter how many caveats there are. We are going to be taking pelters about this season for years if not decades to come. Accept it, Zen out, and just respond with "Atleast we got rid of Chansiri". And next time another club comes to our ground in trouble, maybe don't sing about having a party when they die.
  10. Nothing changed except the immediacy of it. People are waiting for the "New Dawn" and are getting impatient for it is all, forgetting that it is not going to come overnight.
  11. He is being signed to give us bodies for when Fusire is not available in the AFCON, Same with Cooper who is being signed to cover for Valery when he joins up with Tunisia. We will also have them available to rotate players a bit after the Afcon for the remainder of the season, that is not a "short term gamble" keep in mind we are still wage restricted, we struggle to put out a matchday squad without our under 18's and unde 21s as it is, have 6 injuries and atleast 2 going to Afcon, out of a squad that well... look at it. We need some experienced heads to help these kids and save the legs of our players, its hardly a gamble since he is here till January only. First Team - Sheffield Wednesday FC
  12. Tell me you know nothing about football without saying it.
  13. Practicality we can not pay for players and we won't get a better squad player than palmer in L1 so keep and get him involved in the under 21s. He is a quiet leader and a great example for them. Baz we won't get better full stop at any level, keep and get him involved in coaching. Natural leader and fantastic ambassador for the club, even when his legs eventually go, his head and heart can benefit us.
  14. Yep, it is so nice to being back to being grouchy old ******** about how the games gone! Once we have a subs bench again and can complain about the timings of player introductions, we will be back on track.
  15. Wrexhams owners have turned Wrexham into a Championship team that turns a profit, while also fostering amazing connections with their own community and the wider football one. Lets not forget their gesture to our own trust when they played us. They get it, and sure, it might make them rich, but they are going to leave the club, and Welsh Football in general better off when they eventually go. Meanwhile we are on -4 points looking to get relegated playing mostly youthplayers and potentially setting a record for most embargoes in a season because of our last owner. I am with you on this mate, Id take the Netflix circus any day.
