  1. If I was the new owner of SWFC I would commission a sculptor to make a statue of Barry and put it in a prominent position on the entry to the ground. He is definitely has all the attributes of a legend.
  2. Apparently as posted it’s only a handful of players who are threatening not to train later this week.If that were to happen the The Manager can only select from those players that have turned up and trained. That being what happens then the EFL will I am sure insist that the club fields a full squad of players for Saturdays game. Pedersen would have to bring in more U18 players to effectively make up the numbers and ensure he has sufficient numbers to put out a squad on Saturday afternoon.
  3. Where have you been for the last 4 months we have been told repeatedly that they were several interested consortiums. The problem was he wanted far in excess of its value as he’s borrows million and millions that if he sold the club the loans would need to be repaid and there lies the problem. His valuation includes huge amounts he’s borrowed and I would guess the loans may not have come from his family. Thailand have some unscrupulous money lenders. If he went down that track as a last resort he must be shaking in his shoes with the thought of any repercussions. Just a thought but it may be the reason he’s as quiet as a mouse.
  4. I’m of the same view after I made a pact that I would not attend another game until Chansiri’s name cannot be seen on any part of the stadia even if it meant I’d lose the seat I’ve had for years.Then unknown to me my daughters paid a ridiculous price for an over 65 seat in the South Stand as they knew that SWFC has been an important part of my life. However, if he is still the owner come the start of the early bird I definitely won’t buy even if it means I lose the seat I’ve had for years.
  5. I’m not against us picking up good coaches to bring on the team but I did think that 18 support staff that Danny had was a bit ‘over the top’. However, in our current situation the question has to be asked as to WHY they would join SWFC with wages not being paid etc. As per your previous posters - ‘Do they know something we don’t know’ and is some serious change due to happen - please, for the sake of every WAWAW mental health let something good be happening.
  6. It’s been inter-mated that NAP may yet allow him to ‘roll the debt’ over again but that would require him to pay the interest wouldn’t it ? If he can find several hundred thousand to roll the debt over then surely the governing bodies could step in and make him pay ALL September salaries to players and staff. This problem now is happening at the end of every month so surely it indicates he’s operating while insolvent Why isn’t he being taken to task to stop this repeated indiscretion and sell the club. If money lenders from the distant past are on his tail he will have to face them at some point.
  7. Hang on everybody, hang on, do you all believe he is seriously going to try to get through until Dec/Jan in the hope that thousands of ST holders will splash their cash to renew in the early bird phases. Yes, some may but not the tens of thousands that have, in previous years. With all that’s happening where is he going to get the amount of funds he needs to even get through to December. Will the players and staff constantly put up with repeated no or constant late payment of salaries. I somehow don’t think so. They of course will be advised by their union but I somehow can’t see them working month after month under the current situation. Keep up the good work and really try to starve Chansiri of any amount of money that will go towards him believing he knows best.
  8. Sorry Neil if this is in the wrong section and apologies as my piece is a bit long i feel that the impact of all the protests we are doing is losing it’s effectiveness. Please all allow me to explain :- The trust who have done a marvelous job in organizing and supporting protest inside and outside the ground on matchdays but is it falling on ‘deaf ears’ as Chansiri is thousands of miles away so he doesn’t experience the true impact of the protest, the banners and the chanting. Yes, the non spending in the ground has been largely been adhered to, with just a few ignoring the plea so yes this will directly hit the streams of revenue but could that also be just one of the reasons behind staff not being paid. i believe the income from sales within the ground adds to the day to day cash in the club which must go towards running costs and that includes staff salaries. Frankly Chansiri is ignoring everybody in his bolthole in Thailand and probably couldn’t care less ehats been said and done thousands of miles away in Sheffield. The Trust have been in dialogue with the EFL and if that door is still open surely they should be pressing the EFL to show some backbone and address the complete incompetence and ignorance of Chansiri.and doto They surely should direct all their power and attention towards banning him as an owner of a EFL club on the grounds that he can’t guarantee the required financial support for this current season. They should be able to do something powerful and positive that brings him to his senses and gets him to realise his indiscretions and to attend meetings with them as soon as physically possible. He is definitely not a ‘ God’ so he shouldn’t be treated like one that is allowed to call all his own shots, Finally I also believe we should be approaching more national and international media organizations to highlight our plight to deter other unscrupulous owners from ruining our great game. We need exposure that again gets people from the sports world and Governments talking about us again.
  9. To be fair I’m not bothered if the regulator gets him or the EFL get a backbone and start hitting him personally instead of hurting the club on a monthly basis as long has he’s gone as soon as possible. I’d be over the moon if aliens took him off for observation and possible deep root investigation into what makes him brain operate the way it does. It might hurt a bit but it would only match the hurt he’s inflicted on the supporters I’ll be watching the skies more than normal in the hope !!
  10. My seat is on the first row behind the directors box and I can see I’m not there (in protest) the seats at the front of that side of the Directors box are usually reserved for members of our opponents so I guess the photo shows the guys in red ties are from Bristol.
  11. Any pictures of the protest outside the embassy with the London Owls gang ? Have any media or news people turned up to film the protest ?
  12. Seeing. The dissappointment on the players faces at the end of the game yesterday and in particular our Captain it must be difficult mentally for them to face the coming months. With supporters staying away, in protest they cass as n see empty stands that also must go to lower their morale. Now, given the circumstances look like they are not going to change a time soon COULD they players also say ‘Enough is Enough’ on mental grounds and refuse to play, go on a short sharp Strike. The Health and Safety Executive should be monitoring the position at Hillsborough on a daily basis.
  13. At the end of last season (May 25 - seems ages ago) I announced to the gang I sit with that I wouldn’t buy a season ticket as I had missed all the early bird phases deliberately and until his name was removed from everywhere in the ground I would renew. This wasn’t an easy decision as I’ve had the same seat from years and fully enjoy all the banter that goes on but I’d had enough of the clown. Little did I know while I was in hospital my family renewed at £555 for an over 65 year old in the South stand. While I was obviously grateful I was also annoyed that they had put £555 into Chancers pocket and I vowed that it wouldn’t happen again. Hopefully, one way or another he will not be any part of SWFC come the next early bird season but if he was he definitely will not get another penny off me or off my family.
  14. I’ve had an OWLS reg plate for about 5 years and to date (touch wood) no I’ve never had any problems but I do think hard where I am going to park the car while I am watching the game. i only go to a few away games as I live over in Lancashire and when I do I look again to park away from the maddening crowd. I must admit though it is something you think about while your away from the car.
  15. Any sensible investor or potential new owner will have definitely checked out the situation with regards to the stadium. I would also go as far as to say the stadium could have been an initial ‘stumbling block’ with the ownership being Sheffield 3 so I would have had all my legal team all over the contract and know all possibilities months ago. If I was a serious bidder then I would be looking to offer New Avenue Project more than the outstanding value of the loan so they make a very good profit. From New Avenue’s perspective that would surely be more appealing to my investors than taking a roll over from Chansiri. After all what about next year !
  16. I understand what you are saying but for the record as an ex chairman of Round Table I’ve supported Derrian House for years and still arrange fund raising events with all the funds going to ‘them. Anyone that’s had children that’s been supported by the great work they do will understand it’s hard to then direct your attention to other needy causes. i also appreciate the great work that the ‘Trust’ is doing and was one of those in attendance in Hillsborough Park last Saturday - keep up the good work.
  17. Calling all the true blue and white supporters of Sheffield Wednesday please don’t be despondent and thinking we are heading towards oblivion. ive read only today that one poster wants us to write to the King of Thailand to discredit Chansiri as an utter incompetent businessman and the main instigator to the decline of a once great club - Sheffield Wednesday. But let’s not forget when the going gets tough - we get going so ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls let’s focus our attention to protesting but more importantly let’s focus on writing to the following consortiums with our pledge. a) The Walton/Pinner Consortium b) The Tillman Consortium c) The Adam Shaw/Florida Consortium d) The Texter + whoever Consortium For Who It May Concern - We the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters WILL once Chansiri has gone INVEST heavily in SWFC. Buying season tickets, buying shirts and other merchandise, spend our hard earned cash at the club to show our support. We need you to get shut of Chansiri and if that even means paying a few million over the odds we will ensure you won’t be wasting your investment. Sheffield Wednesday means the world to us and we will repay your faith and assist you in making this once great football club, a great club once again and in doing so make sure your investment is well rewarded.
  18. Totally agree but other posters are forgetting that Chancer under the guise of Sheffield 3 took out a loan of £6m + which he has ‘rolled over’ a few times so it’s now increased to over £7m + and the interest payment on that loan is due at the end of September. In the knowledge of Chancer’s financial position it’s highly unlikely he has the funds to pay the accrued interest and therefore also unlikely New Avenue Projects will allow him to ‘rolled it over’ again. The result could be that New Avenue Projects could then sell the stadium to get their money back and Chancer or Sheffield’s 3 loses the ownership of the stadium. There is a lot of could sand buts I guess but where would. Hanger be then without the bargaining power if the Stadium.
  19. Do you not listen or believe the football experts who have all said Sheffield’s Wednesday WILL NOT FOLD or go out of business. There is now too many assessing the situation on a daily basis. Yes we may have to suffer this crackpot for another few months and take our medicine from the EFL when it comes to points deductions but there are too many costs on the horizon that ‘crackpot’ won’t be able to meet and it will be then that everyone who are hovering over this current situation will be drawn into action. Remember we have an unbelievable asset - THE FANS - and we are definitely worth buying !!
  20. It was said on Praise and Grumble that the EFL are stopping us from signing anybody as they have asked for assurances from Chansiri that he will be able to fund this months wages in full and apparently he has not responded with any form of guarantee. They then see that even if we get players on board for nothing they are not sure that they would be paid and that would only worsen the situation.
  21. Look at today’s game there were certainly a lot more police presence so with that cost on top of the stewards etc the cost of staging todays game would still have been high. There were no queues at any of the bars so I guess revenue by and large would be well down and probably would not cover the cost of the extra police etc He’ll be finished when he can’t pay this months wages in two weeks.
  22. Don’t think so - they looked like they were covered by black canvas type material.
  23. Thank you to all at North Ferriby Football Club, your support for what’s happening to SWFC and Morecambe is really appreciated. Your gesture will not be forgotten.
  24. You all made me proud to be a Wednesdayite Thank you for the excellent way you all showed the television spectators around the world what very special supporters you are. If I was an American billionaire called Tillman or maybe Penner I’d be really seriously eager to own one of the very special clubs for sale right now.
