If the names of all the bidders leak out I can't imagine that there won't be a thread or two on here advocating the merits of our own preferred bidders as opposed to the successful buyer. That said, if we get the perfect combination of an owner with deep pockets and vision they can all shut up

He didn't want to be here & downed tools from January 2025. Good luck to him, but I'm surprised that so many folks are interested in what he does elsewhere.

I suggest that you watch Valerys post match interview from mid week. He spoke of how intimidating the atmosphere was and how the Norwich players were unsettled by it.

Theres a chance that the guy may not even pass the EFLs fit and proper test. We seem to be wasting a lot of oxygen on a guy who would be way down the preferred list of most sensible fans. Coming out of Admin with -12 points and him at the helm would be a massive disappointment for me. We need better.

Agreed. I was a Windass fan but he did choose to terminate his contract & play no part in the fight for the future of Sheffield Wednesday. It was his right, but there are plenty of players still at Hillsborough that could have made the same choice but didn't. It's those players that deserve their own Owlstalk threads, not a player that left us voluntarily. Let's move on together.

Wasn't the original Walton story saying that they'd offered £100m for the club? As that was Chansiris asking price & the story went nowhere it does sound like Red Bull, but without the Red. Would love a new owner of that profile and unimaginable pocket depth, but I dont believe the story.

I read this morning that whilst the Norwich & Pigs matches remained at Chansiri prices, the Administrators were looking to package future tickets in a different way. Hopefully they are looking to reduce the prices from Preston onwards or maybe bundling tickets together so that there is a discount for multiple purchases. I'm sure that we'll soon see.

Not bothered either way, but this sounds like nonsense to me. Textor and his co investors would have to be proper mugs to pay in the region of £400m for what is potentially a Championship team next season. It would be a huge risk to part with such a sum with only 1 transfer window available to save the season. They clearly aren't mugs so imo it's rubbish.

Id put money on it being absolute rubbish in that case. Shaping up into the best day that we Owls fans have had for a while.

I think the range of opinions here answers the OPs question. Until we know exactly how Admin plays out for Chansiri why would any Wednesday fan risk putting money in the turds pocket? Maintain the boycott until we know for sure - and imo that means away fixtures too.

You’re entitled to your opinion live everyone else. This is mine, for what it’s worth. A season ticket holder attending a home match gives Chansiri zero extra income. You attending an away fixture gives Chansiri some additional revenue, which might help sustain his systematic dismantling of the club we support. The boycott should be total - both home and away. Away supporters are all putting money into Chansiri coffers - Fact.

Spot on. 'Not a penny more' only seems to apply when its convenient with some of our fans. If you enjoy your away days supporting the Owls then its fine to filter a bit of money through to the poo house according to some posters. No it isnt.

Yes. Non fulfillment of fixtures and getting thrown out of the league is a great idea...according to you and no f***** else.

This seems to pose more of a threat to Textor than Chansiri. It might turn the heat up on Chansiri, but we still need a viable buyer to come forward that lacks the sort of baggage that starts alarm bells ringing. I dont fully understand the Palace situation, but if Textor was part of the reason that they ended up in the Euro competition that nobody watches, the Authorities are hardly going to wave any bids through without dissecting them first.

But how do you know, if you are one of those boycotting? You can't.

How do you know who is and isnt boycotting?

Depends what he gets the wage bill down to. It looks like it will be the leagues lowest by a country mile - if it means clinging on and sticking it to us, he'll do it.

The EFL may be holding things up, but does anyone really think that Chansiri will suddenly start bringing in players on or near the £7k a week maximum anyway? If we are due for the drop, why not do it with a squad of young inexpensive players rather than experienced free agents on around £30k a month? We all know which option Chansiri will go for as he can then cover the wage bill from day to day income and prolong his tenure.

This is the answer - don't step foot in the place. As for the current trend of Season Ticket Holder bashing which seems to seep in to every thread, for years they have been the life blood of the club, pouring their money in up front, year after year. All the criticism of them now is coming from a bunch of sanctimonious grade A t00ls.

So the mid July takeover prediction of 1-2 months is now the end of September? What a load of rubbish.

The OP is right, other than the ommission of the associated decrease in the market value of Chansiris asset. Unless Chansiri drops his price the club will never sell and the only direction we are heading is downward.

Genuine question back - why dont you mind your own business? Everyone's situation is different from the parents with young families to the guy who has sat on his own in the same seat for Donkeys years. I get that it's better to choke off in ground revenue, but another divisive thread started by a moaner will make no difference.

Admin - please move this thread to the F****** Boring section please. I personally wish Josh well, but who cares how he does for Wrexham in any game other than against us?

It was the Bizzle that dropped all that rubbish about the Walton Family. His initial post was so threadbare & detatched from how a multibillion dollar organisation would conduct their business that it would have been laughable, if it hadn't given false hope to so many fans. Hang on every word if it makes you feel better, but I can spot someone that talks out of their backside when I hear or read it.
