We cant have it both ways, a young player with a handful of championship matches plays well first half, scores goals, everyone thinking its only initial glimpses but a season of this and we might be able to think about selling on for a profit. Misses penalty, ffs why are we letting players gain championship experience and inevitably make mistakes, we need the finished article

True. Don't hear many people complaining about the atmosphere in German grounds though.

Whatever the long term plans, would love to see work to get the 2000 capacity in west lower for away fans. Then price the tickets to sell out as much as possible in home stands and West upper. Always think fans in west lower make the ground look better and atmosphere improve. Distracts from how dated that end looks when its empty.

This but maybe cadamarteri up top for more physical presence. Could see it ending up more a 5 - 4 - 1 formation the way prestons forms going at the moment

Id like to think Ashley is a backstop type of offer. If all else falls through he'd pick us up cheap as an alternative to going out of business. Hopefully given the admins apparent confidence and number of offers that won't be the case and the new owners will be a complete game changer. Both in terms of finance but also I really hope in terms of professionalism and competence at running a modern football operation. Having said that I'm sure Ashley could afford £100million+ if he suddenly had an irrational desire to get back into football.

Something like this in blue and white would be nice if being really ambitious

Must be some journalistic licence there, surely no Wednesday fan says it!

Exactly this, if Everton can build a ground in a dock on the Merseyside estuary I'm pretty sure some earthworks to level up a bit of hillside in Sheffield isn't beyond a possibility

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/nov/22/sheffield-wednesday-sheffield-united-steel-city-derby-history-championship Nice write up of the derby. But come on who said they respected Wilder....

Wouldn't be against that, although the quality and number of kiosks and toilets in the tkop would need improvement to justify it think

I'm still surprised our previous owner didn't have dynamic pricing per seat based on his opinion of quality of view!

Although price is the main thing, another thing I think would help with attendance is scrap most of categories. Just have two. One higher price for 9 games for local teams/big games. One lower category for the remaining 14 games. And also important categorise all matches at start of season and advertise it. Everyone knows the price - 'this is what it costs to go to a match this season' - and people who are out of the habit of going will gradually find out by word of mouth.

Probably wanted to cling on longer..... but judging by the evidence on Instagram posted on here went on holiday to Shanghai instead. Then when got back it was too late

The only thing chansiri did well was to be so inept, or careless, that the club was effectively able to be taken off him without having to wait for the regulator to do it. So glad the admin team are running the sale process in a professional way being as transparent as possible with fans as opposed to the DC alternative which would just never have reached a conclusion.

Think £20s plenty campaign is long gone these days. Been to see Harrogate Town recently, league 2 £23 standing... £26 for a seat! Don't think 30 is bad really and members get £5 off too. Be interesting how members priced for the bundle. 4x£5 off or something different maybe?

I think we might have got another season out of him too had DC just let him get on with the job. Whatever the final straw was on falling out and exactly when we'll probably never know. But seem to remember Danny saying in press conferences from early April he'd informed the club of his intentions for the end of the season. The fact he had to come back 4 months later in August as it still wasnt sorted only reflects the dire way the club was being run.

Incredible effort from all involved. As the old saying You dont choose Wednesday, Wednesday chooses you! Let's hope the same applies to the next owners

Brought back some memories there. My first game as a student season ticket holder. It's been largely downhill football wise from there but wouldn't have missed the last 27 yrs for anything. Thanks to everyone who's fought to start to turn our Wednesday round. Here's to the future.

Made it onto the bbc 10 o clock news. Thats how much of a mess DC has made. Nice confident quote from the administrator again about quick sale.

Definitely, huge thanks due. Superb effort from all involved.

Best defence in the league, only conceded 7. We've got the worst at 23

Surely no-one reads headlines of club under threat from winding up order and thinks I know, better give DC £700 quid for a ticket starting in 10 months time.....

£2,500 a week. Not huge in football terms. We've got players on the bench earning more than that. Although I bet he'll get paid on time every month!

Sadly only been watching matches on tv this season but Brown does look to have a bit of something extra about him for his age. I think 'what happened to Ugbo?' Might go down in Wednesday history as an unanswered mystery. Bit like watching Jeffers and thinking this guy has an England cap?

He could argue that but I cant see how any regulator would look at the last ten years and take it as a serious possibility. I also get the impression from the little bits of quotes I've read that the regulator will consider Wednesday as historically at least a championship size club and will reasonable expect the owner to show funds in line with this status. I dont think DC saying if you'll just let me relegate them twice I can try my best to afford to run a league 2 side. That would be seen as a similar failure to letting SWFC go under, which they've already said one of their aims is to stop by introducing trustees to step in.
