Nice touch by Wrexham fans
Busted flush replied to Owling Wolfe's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Obviously not! I'm one of the very few people on here who'll apologise if they are wrong -

A little late to the party here Royalow. I already admitted I was wrong. But Nannan did quote the wrong regulation number so that added to the confusion -

34.2.3 doesn't exist in the current EFL handbook ? However your comment caused me to read the 24/25 season handbook again, and you are correct in essence. Under Section 6, EFL regulations 25.7.3 it does say Away clubs may charge a levy of 5% of the aggregate sales value. I appogise for missing that when I initially read the rule book. -

That was true prior to 1983, the rules changed after that and the home team get to keep 100% of ticket sales. Just check the EFL rules if you don't know. As for booking fees, yes he does get to keep that but the C/card company take a cut -

Under EFL Rules, the home team retain all the proceeds of ticket sales from League games. Chansiri receives zero income other than the 'booking fee' , and the C/Card company will take up to half of that in transaction fees. If you want to watch the team without supporting the regime then away games are the way to do it -
The whole Derby Country situation was clouded in mystery and shady dealings, but I was told that Morris had to sign over the stadium ownership to CDL as part of the process of CDL paying off the loan which was leveraged against the stadium by a Cayman Island company. The outstanding debt was £22 million which CDL paid and Morris received a nominal £1 for signing the Deed for the transfer of ownership. I asked at the time if it was Morris himself that actually owned the Cayman Island company, and the reply was, who knows? But, as much as I was told, £1 was all that Mel Morris received from the sale of the stadium. The total debts cleared as part of the deal by CDL was in excess of £40 million. I don't think Wednesday have anywhere near that amount of debts outstanding

Yeah fair point it's difficult to distinguish one from the other I agree. Maybe I should keep quiet, but when I see something that I know is not true, like the Walton and Fertitta rumours for instance, I have to speak up. It pains me to see those stories go unchallenged and generate hundreds of pages of excited comment and anticipation, when I know they are fake tales By the way, I do think Ugbo has been deprived of quality service in out teams. He's a good instinctive finisher who doesn't need too many touches before getting his shots off, but for whatever reason, be it the quality of the ball in, or just lack of regular game time, he's not achieved his best yet. I live in hope for this season because I doubt we can afford any top goal scorers on freebies or loans

As I've said before on here, on Friday 1st Aug at teatime Baz told several people that he'd had enough of the drama and despite his love for the club he had decided to leave. He had several good offers on the table. It was only later that evening after talking to his family that he decided he had to stay and lead the fight. If you ever get the chance, ask Baz if that's true. He's an honest guy, he'll tell you the truth.

Last throw of the dice by EFL to try to force a sale. They have a duty to safeguard the financial health and integrity of the league, by ensuring a member club does not face financial collapse during the season, and all the problems that would bring. This has echo's of what happened to Derby in 2022. Mel Morris gambled everything he had, said to be £200+ million, to try to get to the Prem, but failed and ran out of cash. He eventually had to face reality and sell. Morris ended up getting £13.3 million after the club debts were cleared, and the new owners paid him just £1 for Pride Park which he owned separately. The one huge danger in all if this is if Chansiri holds another fire sale to raise the necessary cash and hang on, which in essence means Pierce Charles will be sacrificed to save his neck

There is some truth in that statement

Believe all the fake stories you like, I'll still be calling them out when I see them. Just like I did for the Walton fiction, and the same as I did with Fertitta and Guardascione. All fake stories spread by 'journalists' and swallowed hook line and sinker on here. Five minutes of research on each should have convinced anybody these stories were not true, but you'd rather spend your time posting childish comments.

It's not a big step, it's a journo creating an article out of what's already been reported here on Owlstalk and other SWFC related media. Happens all the time, in all aspects of life, 'Journalists' trawl social media for rumours and gossip to find something they can spin into a 500+ word article and earn themselves a pay day

As I'm sure you know, he's not been issued with a squad number yet because he's recovering from a minor op. When he's match fit, and if there's still room in the temporary 23 man sqaud, then he will get a number. Doesn't matter if he gets a matchday squad number or not, he 's still eligible and will definitely get the call to step up from U21's as the season progresses. Head and shoulders above Otegbayo

The EFL are absolute sticklers for enforcing their 'rules', so I fail to see how they can ignore their own rules on when and how an Embargoed club can sign players. It's in black and white on their website. You don't have to be 'itk' to read it

I've been talking about this for a while, our fantastic business minded Chairman agreed to it. If you go on Companies House and look at the Charges registered against Sheffield 3, you will see that the terms of the agreement signed by Chansiri are exactly that. If he fails to make the payment by Sept 30 (which is now £7.3 million) he has a further 7 days to remedy the situation, otherwise ownership of Hillsborough Stadium will transfer to New Avenue Projects Ltd. By the way, the stadium was never worth £60 million, Chansiri had it valued the year before he 'bought' the stadium, and as I recall it was valued at around £38 million. It's noted in the company accounts for that year. 2016/17 I think.

Of the lads stepping up from U21's I'm going to say Makenzie Maltby. Those of you who've not seen him play will be pleasantly surprised

EFL impose new restrictions on Wednesday

EFL rules regarding signing and registering players are pretty clear. If a club has less than 23 players they are allowed to sign and register new and additional players to their roster under the 'Staffing up' rule, which is in place to ensure the integrity of the competition. The only proviso is that no fees can be paid for the player and the maximum wages pay limit is £7k p/wk, which has been common knowledge for several weeks

All you hindsight ladies on here can't wait to start a ***** fest. The fact is, at tea time Friday, Baz said he'd has enough of the 5h1t at Hillsborough and was getting out. If you get the chance to ask him in person, I'm sure he'd be happy to confirm, he's an honest man. Later that evening, praise the lord, he changed his mind for the sake of his family, and all the people he cares about associated with the club. I was personally delighted to hear the news, but the negative Nellie's on here still need something to moan about.

Whilst some clubs may choose to offer a severence payment at the end of a players contract, there is no mandated EFL rule to that effect

Yes I've seen the speculation on the Borough forums, but so far they've not had any confirmation either

His contract expired on 30th June, yet he still came in because he'd been made promises about the future. Those promises have been reneged upon.
