The old Mourinho "if I speak I am in trouble meme" must have had a load of usage the past 24 hours or so. I know people will always laugh about any accusations of corruption, what with football obviously being oh so clean, but when VAR looked for 3 minutes and even Rangers fans can't see a handball, I don't see how anyone can not even ask the question.

I've worked in regulation, focused on large entities of significant national importance. Even in those, the ability to remove the owners of a business is incredibly hard to use, taking years of extensive work, and requiring ministerial sign off. The idea that a brand new regulator is going to immediately remove him as our owner is pie in the sky stuff.

The disallowed goal was...dodgy. Genuinely don't know how best to approach this one, but it absolutely stinks given VAR took about 3 minutes looking at it.

I really think people need to ready themselves for the fact that he is maliciously running us into the ground right now. When all other options evade all sense, even in his warped and confused mind, we are left with the fact that this is being done out of malice. He won't sell, the regulator won't save us, the EFL won't save us, local MPs won't save us. As for being punished with new owners, for one thing its been done before (Lutons new owners were punished for revealing historical wrongdoing of the previous owners), and for another, Sheffield Wednesday is the legal entity that broke the rules, a change of ownership doesn't change that. If you think about it, you don't want that to change anything. If not you'd get banks etc flipping their ownership structures if they ever get in trouble with regulators.

Don't be so sure we're not going down next season as well.

Sorry mate, you seem to have made a mistake. You've said 32 years ago, but this kit was from the early 90s, so I think you'll find... Oh.

The issues with him go back years. On the contrary, I'm looking to end this stupid argument where fans blame other fans, and instead direct 100% of the anger at the one man to blame for all of this.

Right. He was a great owner at that point, obviously. Yep, no issues at all.

Its understandable that people shame pay on the day fans. I mean, when you put £600 in his pocket a few months back, he was a model owner.

Well, Charles must be worth £13m to the right buyer, so...yeah.

Good to get another point on the board. Well done to the kids. ....what?

Next time a Leeds fan tries to claim this isnt a derby, point to whats coming out that away end right now.

Funny that Rangers couldn't handle Brugge, whilst yet another season where we get told that Hearts are about to break the duopoly has already skidded to a halt.

I hate adding to this, but... If I'm not at the game or watching, I'll likely be looking at the match thread. We are lucky enough to have an active forum, which means that posts come thick and fast. I'm not bothered enough to look elsewhere at other scores, but if something of interest happens elsewhere around the grounds, it can be nice to know. Someone making a short post about it isn't stopping anyone read about our game, its just a nice little aside.

Those last few decisions to not give foul on Kobacki, penalise Cadamarteri and then give them a free kick for nothing really summed up that ref. All we needed. Well done to all playing staff and those in support of them.
