  1. I heard no boos or negative comments or grumbles. Just complete respect and admiration for those willing to go that step beyond. I think it'll only begin to start a regular invasion, as more fans will feel confident that the chance of punishment is unlikely. I wonder how much it cost the club in financing the extra steward presence today...if nothing else, that's win alone.
  2. I don't think it'll ever happen, and the commitment to try and keep the wheels turning is nothing but commendable by the players and the staff, amidst continual disrespect from the owner. But, I think it's time for the @SWFC Trust to sit down and have a full and frank meeting with Bannan and the players, and ask them to help the cause now. Whether that being strikes, walk-offs, holding banners/wearing shirts pre-game or just coming out and speaking in the media asking for Chansiri to do the right thing. Just something. The players and the staff can't continue to bury their heads in the sand and think "we just need to do our job." There's a near 160 year old institution at stake here. Those solely running about, giving it their all and getting beat, as commendable as it is, isn't doing the situation any favours at present.
  3. Lot to like. Great on the ball, loves to get forward, aggressive defensively. He'll get a couple of red cards, I'm sure...but on the whole, looks a real bright prospect.
  4. If this happens, he tarnishes everything he did here IMO. His reputation, despite the protracted and rather unprofessional ending to his reign here, is maintained amongst the fanbase, given the remarkable job he did here, and his battle with Chansiri ultimately running him dry. But, there's PLENTY of jobs he could get...better and more attractive jobs, than United's at present. In taking the United job, he's showing exactly what he thinks of our club and the fanbase that worshipped him. But, as a ruthless careerist (and that isn't a criticism) I suspect, he'll only view it as his next job, and anything in the past, is irrelevant to him. I sincerely hopes he thinks twice, if the opportunity arises...but given that this news is out, he's probably already given the nod to it, should Selles fail to recover the situation down there.
  5. If the Trust could get loads of black and gold scarfs with "Chansiri Out" or "Enough is Enough" on them made and announce a protest of dispalying them aloft at in the ground, and stand outside the stands with a SumUp machine, they'd make a bloody fortune. Really easy protest, and a money spinner for the trust also.
  6. Nixon's headline this morning: "Blackburn snubbed in shock Cadamarteri move" I'm not paying for the full article, so don't know the specifics of it.
  7. Tbf, the signings of Godfrey and Tanganga are very good, high quality Championship additions. Chong is probably quite an astute signing given the cost, and then fact his energy will suit the way Selles wants to play. Looks like they are going to be bring in a few more and spending a fair bit of dosh along the way. I'd be surprised if they didn't end up competing for the playoffs. Although that'll depend on whether they keep Hamer and Campbell.
  8. Suspect it'll be a club that can pay some very high wages. Allegedly on £70,000/week at Leeds, and if he's willingly agreed a mutual termination, he must've have been offered a very reasonable wages for him to do so. Wrexham or Birmingham maybe? Or a club in the Middle East would be my hunch.

  10. Won't happen. As a fanbase, generally, we are so judgmental and impatient when it comes to youngsters. And yet, we complain about how poor our record with youth is. Take Fusire for example. Came in for the Stoke game, and within 10 minutes, a not insignificant number of fans, have already wrote him off as "never will be good enough" "lightweight" "not ready". Same will happen with any others...but the one positive from this situation, is that we may be forced into playing these youngsters, and therefore they are actually allowed to grow. Same happened with the keeper on Saturday...not a youngster obviously, but the fact he's only been at the club 24 hours, hasn't played for yonks...just isn't contemplated...he's crap, and thats that.

  12. In fact, isn't this a load of waffle? Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney pledged profits from their 2024/25 third kit to the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust. Sales of 1,500 shirts at £25 each raised a total of £37,500. The donation follows an initial dispute over Wednesday’s protest banner, later resolved after Wrexham supporters stepped in. Both sets of fans showed solidarity throughout the match, with mutual respect shown inside and outside the stadium. The gesture has drawn significant media coverage and reignited wider discussions about Sheffield Wednesday’s ownership situation. I thought the gesture was, all profits were to be donated to the Trust...not all sale proceeds? At the bottom of the article "his article reflects our opinion based on publicly available reporting, commentary, and developments at the time of writing. Key insights have been drawn from coverage by outlets such as The Wrexham Insider and The Athletic."
  13. Absolutely incredible gesture. It's a PR masterstroke from Wrexham. But hopefully it'll allow the Trust to seriously up the ante, when it comes to protesting now.
  14. Perhaps thats why we should be worried...he's not known for his business acumen.
