To really make a statement and to test whether everyone really is prepared to do their bit there has to be a boycott of the Blades at home.

Silly idea

This is a silly idea and looking around it seems it’s going to attract the response it deserves - no one will do it. If anything just a few going on will be even more embarrassing than not bothering. It’s the wrong tactic - Chansiri doesn’t give a F++k. He simply doesn’t care, isn’t bothered and will not be influenced by such stunts. It makes no difference to him in his pursuit of L1/2 football and a budget he can then afford. Keep the moral high ground starve him financially it’s the only thing that he understands. Arrests, personal bans, criminal records and adding pressure to an already under pressure team are not worth it. Starve him out!

Does anyone seriously think a pitch invasion will make any difference at all. There are 3 entities that can end this shitshow - 1 A buyer prepared to pay more than the club is worth. 2. A regulatory body with teeth to stop this via administration or using new legislation. 3. Chansiri himself decides to bail. Can’t see 1 or 2 at present and 3 is definitely not going to happen. He doesn’t give a flying F about any protests (if he is even aware of them) thousands of miles away. Nevertheless, eventually this will become just another sad period of Wednesdays long history. It’s not worth a lifetime ban. Protest in other ways - the financial stranglehold will at least hit home.

Nail meet Head. Our fanbase compared to our neighbours for example is very old and conservative. Look around where are the kids? 25 years and a whole generation of general shittiness to thank for it. I won’t be renewing after many years, I won’t even be attending regularly but I won’t be singing on a predetermined cue to a guy thousands of miles away who CLEARLY doesn’t give a flying F++K about any of the ‘protests’ and is determined to run the club down to a level commensurate with the squad - L1/2. If you want to buy scarves, sing or sit on your arse it’s all pretty irrelevant but if you want to do something STAY AWAY and DO NOT RENEW he can ignore it but his bank balance will get the message.

It quite simply HAS to be a televised live game. It will clearly attract the most media attention and it has the added benefit for those that absolutely cannot miss a game that they can watch it on TV. Absolute no brainer. I’m at ST holder and I’m in. What about the United match? Do we really want to be there whilst they create their own Boxing Day Massacre score?

I’m a ST holder - I’ve only been the once so far (not today). It’s a shitshow.

I’ve just ordered the book

If anyone wants a bit of a change from the ongoing shitshow have a listen. I know he’s been mentioned previously in relation to an attempt to fund and make a drama documentary film about him but if anyone wants an easy listen try this episode. Fred Spikesley - Massively successful player - one of Wednesday’s top ten highest scorer’s and England international but then topped that as a manager winning titles in Germany, Sweden, Mexico and the USA expounding skill and ball play in an era of regiment and effort. Fascinating personal life, escaped from internment in the Great War, involved in one of the first coaching films, appeared on stage with Charlie Chaplin. I can see why the film idea was considered interesting. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-football-history-podcast/id1575355821?i=1000544233411

It was me. I’ve directly messaged the Trust on a couple of occasions and have not received a reply of any sort. I still think it has merit but needs their authority rather than an individual so it won’t be just an Owlstalk poll.

I’ve messaged the Trust in the hope that they will get involved. It would be so much stronger with their authority and backing.

I can promise him he’s not getting our £1140.

That’s a good idea. It’s no real surprise that lots of people are saying they won’t renew if he’s still here (me and my son included). Unfortunately a few comments on an Owlstalk thread don’t carry much weight. If there is a real strength of feeling towards non renewal this needs to be appropriately captured and gathered together in an authoritative message that even Chansiri can understand. He hasn’t got the money to keep going and he is definitely already planning for and relying on the cash influx in Dec/Jan (who knows he might start EB even earlier this time). I’ve messaged the Trust directly in the hope that they will lend their authority to a formal petition. It’s a very easy protest for all ST holders to take part in. In addition given the significant financial implications for his plans its one that potentially could even make Chansiri at least think about it. Trust are you willing to take this on?

Exactly my point but it would carry more weight and authority coming from the trust rather than from an individual fan. Imagine the PR opportunity to publicise the message that he’s going to be starved of £5 million that he is absolutely relying on just to get him to the end of the season. Even Chansiri will understand the implications and it’s one simple way for ST holders to tell him to get stuffed. i won’t be renewing if he’s here - will you?

Here’s an idea for a simple protest that won’t take much effort and if it goes as expected it would send a strong message to Chansiri. It’s now quite clear he’s going nowhere. There is no deal forthcoming and he’s going to continue degrading the club to a point where his budget will suffice (League 1 possibly 2). Is he even listening to the various protests taking place? I doubt it very much so something needs to be done to really grab his attention. Kick him in the wallet. He’s had the EFL loyalty injection and will expect to limp along until December/January when the EB season tickets will once again save him. How do we let him know that (I for one) and thousands more will not be supporting him with ST renewals? There could be an Owlstalk vote but that’s not everyone. How about an official online petition (via one of the free websites) asking whether fans will renew for 26/27? Imagine if 10,000 or more could let him know he will not be getting the cash influx he’s relying upon. That’s around £5 million and that’s a big number for his overstretched wallet. Even Chansiri would have to take notice. It would be the fanbase making it clear that we’re not giving him anything to keep going. The beauty of signing a petition is that (even for those diehards) it’s not legally binding - they can, and will do what they want but for now they could join the threat of no funding. I think this is a task for the Trust. It needs the authority of a fan organisation rather than an individual fan. Trust - Are you up for this?
