That’s the kit and the team for me Redowl - thanks.

Ron was my hero. Such a safe pair of hands any high ball in the area was usually his. You don’t see a lot of that kind of aerial confidence and ability these days in my opinion. He also had a superb understanding with Peter Swan, my other hero. That 1960/61/62 team was my all time favourite especially under Harry Catterick and the kit they wore, particularly with the hooped socks, was my all time favourite. Perhaps it was because I was young and impressionable at the time but I’d love us to play in hooped socks again.

I’m still giddy about the result at Portsmouth so for a bit fun, and for our footballing fans who either play now or have played the beautiful game in the past, at any level, what was the number, 1 - 11 (before the introduction of squad numbers in 1992/93) you were most thrilled / proud to wear on your back and Why: - was it the number itself - pride in the position or role you played - or was it because it matched the number of an icon you revered - What was the number that you coveted, but knew that you would never get the chance to wear?

Enjoy retirement Lee. Thanks for all the care and effort given to our Club and for THAT cross at Wembley.

Governmental help (the Regulator) would be great BUT what if, having taken us down to League One and got rid of all the high earners, he then puts himself in a position where he can sustain us . Will someone please tell me that this can’t happen. yellow and gold until it’s sold.

A big ‘well done’ to Owls fans attending this.

Superb support for our cause. Hopefully the fans will comply. Thanks Grimsby.

I’m not sure about whether we lent any players to Man United after the Munich Air Disaster, but we did sell them our best player at the time, Albert Quixall, for a then record fee of £45000!. To be honest, I think that Man United thought that we had ripped them off at the time if my memory serves.

Well done everyone

‘We don't have the restriction but Chansiri isn't going to be paying out on high wages is he. He can hardly scrape together the wages for the current staff and players.’ Agreed, although Chansiri has now offloaded most of the high earners and therefore the monthly wages commitment must be much lower.

As original title - Thank you Sky for highlighting our team’s dire situation. Also well done the Trust, for the planning and organisation and really well done to all the supporters attending the game for showing commitment to the Club and executing the demonstration in such an organised and classy way. Does anyone know the latest reports on any potential takeover?

I remember when Jack Charlton came to one of our games in the late 1970’s. He said that he was really impressed by the fans’ passion and massive support of our traditionally historic club despite the terrible times we were suffering at the time and was so moved by all this, that he became the Manager and basically saved us at that time. Perhaps we should all try to appeal to John Textor in a similar way, give him the love, so to speak, especially as he appears to want to acquire and help a traditional English club and rebuild in such a way that it supports communities in a very positive way. How could we go about it though?

Donated. Keep up the great work.

This is exactly as I see it. If true, welcome back Danny, because with a bit of transfer money, he might just get us the player quality he needs to play his way and give us the best chance of surviving next season.

IF Textor becomes the new owner, hopefully Richards and possibly Jordan (surely there would be something in it for Simon) will be able to keep an eye out on things for us.

Looking on the bright side of this however………… a new owner may be happy for Gassama and Charles to be sold because, after the club is bought, they intend to pump millions into the club to acquire higher quality players - surely I can dream .

I just want Chansiri out and have done since 2017. He has, in my opinion, made some very strange and naive decisions pretty much ever since since he bought us, which have been referred to on here many times and which have seriously damaged our famous old Club. When it comes to assessing new owners and whether they will be suitable for us, this is always difficult and a bit of a lottery, but surely, our football business can be run much better than it has been in the last 10 years.

Well done James Beadle (and England). That victory yesterday was really sweet. Good luck for Season ‘25-‘26.

Shambolic

If this WAS the new kit, I, for one, would be very happy.

12 years of Owlstalk bliss, can’t wait for the next 12!

Ha ha, nice one fella. I’m really embarrassed now

Thank you for reviving our Club. - Danny, this Owls team is YOUR team - The Players are loyal to you - You remain loyal to them - I understand your deep desire to go home to your family and you must do this BUT, why not return to us after the break and finish the great job that you have started? - Our great, historic Club and its fantastic fans deserves to be in the Premiership, AS DO YOU.

Well done owlstalkers, there are some really interesting and informative posts in this thread covering the contract issues that are now hanging over the club. Let’s hope that we can put together a squad and team with sufficient quality players to keep us in this league next season.

Shocking treatment, but typical.
