  1. Added a couple of DC rants where possible!!!! The EFL have the interest of fans at heart - errrrrrr????
  2. I'd expect them to walk away to be quite honest, that would not be unprofessional, it would be a wise career move and best for their own development and family. Legally they're not breaching contract when they've not been paid are they! They've every right to stop working
  3. I think the window for DC willingly to sell has probably gone, any interested buyer 3-4 months ago has been told he wants £100m and are likely to be less inclined to even meet £50m after the demise of the last few months, this is going to the regulator, HMRC winding up order or some other way. What a clown to think he is above paying wages/taxes etc etc, surely it's going to end badly for him now!!!
  4. Football supporter psychology is pretty interesting. I think you're probably right, many feel that an owner is so inter connected with SWFC that many cannot detach the two. As for me DC couldn't be any further detached from what I think SWFC is and should be striving to be. He represents the antithesis of football ownership and that is becoming the realisation for many football fans, not just Wednesday fans, the longer it goes on he becomes a symbol of shambolic, chaotic idiocy that is every football fans nightmare.
  5. I'm certain the IFR will be useful bit I don't think they'll have the immediate powers to force a dissolution of DCs shares as we all hope. It will be a long drawn out process a) of trying to communicate with a man who is in hiding in Thailand and b) gathering historic, current and future evidence of which there is and will be mountains. It will take time, patience and persistence. The Trust and fans need to have a much longer term view and plan, than January 2026 IMO.
  6. Kogan also claimed the regulator's powers to evaluate owners and directors will be far more extensive, with "access to much greater knowledge and much greater ability to intervene", but warned that it may face legal challenges from clubs. This is the big issue, the reason we can only get cautiously optimistic IMO.
  7. I mean, it won't make him decide the next morning to sell, I hope fans see it as a big picture, this is just adding some colour to it. Long term thinking is needed it's a long term strategy right!!!
  8. 100% Sky had a good 5 minutes focussed on us in that time, literally all over socials within minutes! Even facilitated some larger vocal protests than I’ve heard from our fans!!
  9. I guess they think they're helping the unpaid players out or something? They don't realise the way we get rid of DC is through him not paying players/bills/debts etc
  10. Surely only ones that have already got Sts, if not were giving DC £40 a time and prolonging the agony as he crawls on!!
  11. Every pound not spent is a pound closer to the day DC is gone! Every pound he gets gives him extra energy and a stay of execution! Do what you can! Personally I can’t give that clown another penny and will not break my resolve until it’s confirmed that he’s out!
  12. Weighing up the results away from home (even this season) against the minimal amount that goes into DC's pocket from away tickets sold, I'd probably go with sell outs away, boycott home (if you've not got a ST)
  13. That's actually a brilliant story!!!! Never underestimate what we're doing or say it's not working, or question 'what will it achieve?' https://www.facebook.com/reel/1436702334677057
  14. With a bit of luck the new owners might be persuaded to offer a special deal on season tickets to get the fans back in the ground. Would be sound business, they’ve got a lot of repairing to do!!
  15. Yeah I'm not overly fearful of any repercussions. At the end of the day this is all on one man and any points deductions/fines even being relegated while not being great for the fans reflects further on DCs poor ownership and strengthens the position of the IFR and all those seeking him to let go of us. I'm probably at the point of 'get him out at all costs'
