I wouldn't say I don’t care but it’s the most we’ve been beaten and the least I’ve been bothered. We just have to suck it up and look to the future.

I think it’s unfair to say there wasn’t passion or heart. We just simply didn’t have the quality and it really showed. It’s sad but it’s where we are, I’m surprised some people didn’t see today coming.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, Birmingham has loads of potential as a city… but I think the main problem with Sheffield is negativity. We seem so down on ourselves and unambitious. It seems a very Sheffield trait to have a ‘could never happen to us’ mentality. I see both the city of Sheffield and Wednesday as hugely untapped potential. Let’s hope our new owner (with very deep pockets) thinks the same. Also separate point on the airport front. I don’t know where this obsession with airports has come from when discussing club size / potential but although we don’t directly have an airport, Englands a relatively small and well connected country and we have multiple airports nearby.

It’s funny how we regularly slate SYP for being overzealous, pointing to other derbys that have a thin line of police separating the two sets of fans. Yet here we are scaremongering anyone getting a ticket on leppings lane.

Think a thread like this shows how much our fanbase are getting ahead of themselves. They’ve had a stinker so far but it’s still too early to say whether they’re good or bad owners. As it’s also way too early for acting like anything happening over there is worse than what’s happening here. Let’s see how things play out a little before comparing situations.

Said this a few times, I don’t care about megabucks and spendageddons, I just want Wednesday to be a well run club. Our set up off the field is league one at best and it shows. We are a league one / championship yo-yo club. Get the off-field right and the on-field will follow. It’s the biggest mistake Chansiri made, trying to build on weak foundations.

I do think we’ve really influenced the footballing world. Obviously we’re not the first club to do boycotts but not many clubs have done as clear and as successful showing against their owners. I don’t live in Sheffield and tbh not many people ever know anything about Wednesday. Recently loads of people have talked to me about Chansiri, the Middlesbrough boycott, admin etc. It’s all over social media and I think people generally are impressed with our fanbase and how we’ve stood up for ourselves. I think we’ll see a fair few similar showings and I hope so too. Football fans in the UK are too soft. West Brom are apparently boycotting Cov away cos it’s £45 a ticket. Good on them.

There’s rivalry skewering your view of a club and there’s looking at Sheffield Wednesday and the last 30 years we’ve endured and describing us as ‘lucky.’ Absolutely insane opinion

Great minds hah! I’ve just written pretty much the same thing

I’m going to call BS on this one. Firstly it’s Chansiri, the man doesn’t apologise as we all know. Secondly, if he wanted to he could release a statement, it doesn’t have to be through the official website (and he hasn’t).

I know beggars can’t be choosers but I’m ok with it not being Textor. Given how we’ve been ran, in the most part, for 30 years (and in particular the last decade) I really want us to have a professional set up with no off-field dramas. As a fan I want to be able to concentrate on the football. Textor seems to have a lot of skeletons in his closet and the potential for off-field matters to take centre stage, like it did at Palace and Lyon.

Not to be negative, and I know this is a time that we can dream, but I see we’re back to believing what we want to believe again. Choosing to ignore reputable local media, who are telling us the Waltons weren’t at the game, and going with ITK’ers off twitter. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from all this it’s that there’s a lot of people on the internet that are desperate for attention and a lot of people who are desperate for good news. The attention seekers just say what people want to hear, they get the attention they crave, and the people wanting good news get to believe it. Meanwhile I’m sat here reading absolutely rubbish, getting annoyed at the modern world (and secretly getting dragged into believing that maybe, just maybe, we could get lucky).

We’ve been ran so badly that the bar for what I’d be happy with is pretty low. I just want someone who’s competent, professional and who makes me feel the clubs moving in the right direction, even if that’s slowly (everything Chansiri wasn’t basically). But on the other hand there could be some really transformative owners sniffing around. Football clubs are a sought after commodity at the moment and if you believe the rumours there have been people with big money interested. I hope we get lucky and get someone who can really move us forward at speed but I think it’s better to temper my expectations and just be happy with a normal, competent owner.

With or without a points deduction we’re down. I hope the EFL do the right thing and give us all our points deductions this season. It’s painful as a fan to have two seasons on the trot ruined by off field matters.

One thing that always makes me laugh about United is there need to be the underdog. I’ve had United mates playing down our plight and telling me they expect us to win. Why can they never own being the favourites? I think given our squad and off field problems we’ve done well to be on 6 points, whereas they’ve had an absolute stinker to be sitting just above the relegation places on 9. It’s a game where all I’m bothered about is not being embarrassed, whereas they should be looking at it as an opportunity to really stick the knife in. But there fans and Wilder will try and spin it that it’s all against them, bizarre
