  1. I hope those ST holders who have been pressing non-ST holders not to go support the trust with this. (Personally its hard all your pals (ST) still going to games and having to stay away not to fund the bloke) but ive understood it has to be done. Albeit i get you're never going to get a full consensus and lots will still go. Ultimately one man is the problem and i just hope this comes to a head sooner rather than later.
  2. As someone else said you get paid for your expertise and experience. Peopl are also assuming they clock in and clock off on those 3 days a week and thats it... Lets be honest they're going to be doing things on the other 4 days as well. Can't imagine them not replying to emails calls etc for 4 days!
  3. Looks like Bannan actually tried to get the stewards to let fans back to the stands and not drag them off
  4. Must admit as someone who had a ST for years and stopped last year for separate reasons, all my mates still have one and go...Its kind of grating that they're getting to meet up and go to the game every other week and im 'not allowed' because id have to buy a ticket and thus be funding chansiri. Can't take my kid either and it worries me he will lose interest. Now i totally understand and support why, for instance i wont land a penny in DCs pocket, but the longer this drags on the harder it gets personally. But soon ST holders are going to have a very hard decision of their own to make, because ST renewal time will somehow be here before we know it and I have no faith DC will be gone...
  5. It's absolutely boring. based on style Its also boring that the top 6 or so have so much money, its more or less a closed shop for who can win the Premier League anyway, so whats the point? Even American Sports we have rubbished over the years (for being a franchised closed shop), at least they have a salary cap and the same teams dont win decade after decade after decade. The worst team really can win it all in a few years time. Feel like ours sometimes might as well be a closed shop franchise system because the money model and P&S has more or less made it a closed shop for who can win anyway.
  6. I hear people say he's an arse quite a lot, he's not short of confidence in himself and certainly speaks his mind if thats what it means... But he cant be seen as that much of one as Wrexham made him captain straight after hes been out with injury.
  7. It was about £20 wasn't it? Also tbh, I dont see anything wrong in people having collections of football shirts. Sure, you wouldnt expect a Wednesday fan to wear a Leeds, Pigs, Barnsley etc shirt, but football is football. See loads of people wearing random retro shirts too not just from their club
  8. Employing ETH to begin with was mental. To still employ him, give him all pre-season then sack him after 2 games is just a monumentally stupid and terrible way to run a football club.
  9. Knocking around with the likes of Mad Gary Madine and co tanked Rhys McCabe's career.
  10. Maybe he knows were going down, but is hoping new ownership happens this season and next season he can lead us back up and still finish here on a high.
  11. I can assure you if we’re bottom of the table and nailed on to be relegated on top of the current problems, things will turn far far nastier and more people get on board.
  12. I honestly think the young lads performances the first few games has actually dampened to the protest movement. Because those who weren't on board with protests see them doing so well (which is commendable btw) and 'things arent that bad' A few 0-4s and a points deduction and maybe things will change en masse. It's hard init. Because of course we want the young lads, senior players etc to do well because none of this is their fault and its Sheffield Wednesday. We just want the owner gone. But i dont know what its going to take for the remaining fans to get on board.
  13. To add, I also don't see how many hedge funds are going to be buying a football club to lose lots of money. That's completely the opposite of their intent. No one is paying that idiot Chansiri any more than the club is actually worth, let alone £100m for something worth less than half of it. Also below the books theres lots of different ways owners make their money and investment work for them. Inflation and rise in club values (i.e. Dallas Cowboys were bought for $140m in 89', now worth $10bn), marketing, publicity, supply chain alignments and moving financials around.
