  1. Invading the pitch is a way to stop the game, yes I totally agree. But in many ways it's old hat, the club (and the media etc) is expecting it to happen and will have no doubt increased stewards accordingly. But if you want to invade that pitch, good on you at least you are doing something, other than the happy clappers who just let others do the work. But maybe it calls for something new. The players have every right to down tools, and this could be where the answer is. if they all sat down on the pitch on lets say the 10th minute of a game (steel city derby WOW) the impact would be massive, the media coverage would be everywhere, and front page news without any doubt. Would the players get fines etc, this would be highly unlikely because of the chairman's treatment and the over ridding support of the football world. Some of us fans have player contact so it could work, without the need for fans getting banned, finned, arrested etc. Just an idea, so please don't shoot me down in flames.
  2. even more with drinks . The pay on the day or the one off ticket purchases do contribute to the clubs funds, but that's a very small percentage at the side of corporate money. 10 fans to 1 corporate. How do you stop the corporate?
  3. Corporate entertainment money adds massive amounts of money each game. at around £250 and head
  4. That can't happen, it would result in a club fine (would not effect the chairman) and even more points on top of the 12 to 21 we are going to get anyway.
  5. It's fans like you who spoil this site for everyone
  6. Sorry this dingbat has just posted the last ever entry onto this site. The point I attempted to make was other people high up in the know at SWFC must take some responsibly for keep quiet all these years. Yes a dictator in charge and %100 to blame, the staff will have been warned to say nothing or else, but some of them knew the situation where in, but no one could or was not brave enough to say
  7. thank you for your horrific thread I 100% agree its the chairman's fault, what I was trying to say was other people in the know at SWFC are saying nothing and must take some responsibly
  8. Other people in the higher positions at SWFC have to take some responsibly or accountability for the state of our club. Yes we have what can only be described as a dictator in charge, but he's not the only one who was aware or maybe responsible for our appalling situation and the financial disaster. It's time for them to stand up and give their version of SWFC whilst they still can before any takeover.
  9. Could we have kept him if all was ok at SWFC? I have strong doubts due to the fact he wants to climb the success ladder, and Germany would always be his number one target if not now sometime in the near future. (and why not he's a German with home led ambitions to succeed.) Will he manage in UK this year? Yes with a club with multi millions to spend on the quality players he knows every team needs. Good luck to a very fine manager
  10. The one good thing to be happening at this stage of the SWFC saga is OWLS IN THE PARK. Protesting at this event would do no good what so ever, and stops the future blood of SWFC enjoying a day out with the Owls. Grow up you protesters and look at the bigger picture. The chairman could not give a fart about protests has he has proved in recent months, the only ones to really loose out are the kids
  11. what a really silly thing to say. we're in enough trouble without a pitch invasion. wrong in every way possible
  12. IF Danny was to leave us, I'm certain he would have already told the staff he wanted with him
  13. Many of us going to Derby on Saturday. There's a park, come large open area at the side of the ground which seems perfect. Covid rules will be followed because Wednesdayites are all one enormous family bubble. Rain is forecast, but "singing in the rain" just does not get better than than.
  14. The fortunes of our team at the moment is of no surprise. We have all the same old training staff , doing the same old things, with a clear lack of knowledge in how to put things right. Forget the Bullens, the Thompsons, and the rest, we desperately need a new start. A new manager will bring in his own backroom staff for sure, partially when he's seen what we have in the old school. I fear this season's fate may be beyond a new manager, but at least give him a chance to see what we have, what we need, and most importantly, what we don't need.
  15. The club for some time now has been very stagnant. We are rotten from the roots and faces in the backroom need to go. We simply don't have the coaches, scouts, and management to be able to do something about our situation, of seems almost certain relegation. New manages bring in fresh blood, new coaches, and different idea's.They freshen up players who look finished or not interested. Yes Pulis has gone but little else has changed in very poor back room staff who are devoid of new idea's, and player motivation skills. Most of these players know these coaches inside out, and some clearly feel very comfortable just going through the motions. Pulis was a very wrong choice as manager in the 1st place and never a realistic person to push us forward. So a new manager is still desperately needed to aid our ever decreasing chances of staying in the championship. Whats our chairman doing? Who knows, is a takeover on the cards? What ever Mr Chasiri's issues are we need a new manager now, as we did two months ago.
  16. 16 games to go and that magic total of 50/52 points still far away. where now needing an average of one and a half points a game and that's difficult even for teams at the top of the table. My heart says come on we can do it, but my head says we would have to produce promotion form to do it and that's miles away.
  17. Without any doubt. could well be the best man out there, and knows how to pick up bargains who can play a bit
  18. Manager? no manager? There is something fundamentally wrong throughout the club. I believe it's at the root of the club. Coaching staff throughout are long in the tooth and lack new idea's and unable to take the fresh approach that is badly needed. It might well be driven by our chairman? But his millions have kept us alive and still able to move forwards. We need our chairman, his money and his contacts in the business world if we change ownership at some stage A new manager is vital, with fresh idea's, motivation skills and the ability to get the best out of some very average players.(if we can't buy any) A very, very, average Millwall walked through us with ease, they found our weaknesses by half time and had the ability to react. We did not have a clue how to react to them be it players management or coaching staff. Good full backs (average or better) are much needed in any team (which ever formation) We don't have any good enough for the challenges ahead and we haven't for some time now. Our center backs look increasingly out of their depth and fold very easily. We need a man mountain, a ball winner, a person who can defend with his head and feet, and who will be an organizer with a big mouth.( Lee Bullens as a player fitted that bill to some extent. But coaching wise he's not able to pass his views on it seems) Have we got such a player in the club? Not that I have seen. The midfield is without any doubt a real issue. We have some quality in Bannan? but that's it. Yes some of the youngsters have shown promise, but it's not the right time to put such pressure on them. Bannan needs to be left to have free role to use his play maker skills to there best. We don't have a player able to take control of the midfield. We need a player who shows commitment, drive and the vision to read the game with the ability to implement change when needed. Is such a player available that fits our financial restraints, and more so wants to come to SWFC. I really don't know, but that's the reason we need fresh blood throughout the club starting with a new manager and a full coaching team. I do believe if we get the manager, coaching staff,back and midfield sorted there's enough quality forwards in the club to score goals and survival in the championship.
  19. I'm as gutted as any Wednesday fan with lack of signings, but not in the least surprised. Wages not being paid, no manager, and in bottom three, if we could bring in quality players who would want to come in to that? not quality that's for sure.
  20. If i had put the millions into our club as the chairman has, i'd want to be in control. That said we do charge far to much for on the day match tickets for supporters who are just as important as season ticket holders. People don't buy season tickets for many reasons not just cost, it could be work, family commitments, choice, ect,ect. As a club you can not sell/ give away quality player and replace them with could be, will be, might be, has been players. High wages or not we have missed everyone of the players we have lost from last season, and are absolutely destined for division one without a miracle manager taking over.
