  1. I really hope you are right, but playing devil's advocate a little bit, some players also have an unused substitute clause which means they get a sum if they dont even appear. Some players in some cases I suspect have a higher unused sub fee than appearance fee, and therefore putting them for nominal minutes costs the club less. Looking at ugbo for example (Potentially putting 2 and 2 together here and getting 5) A big money signing on a wave of good form, its not impossible that ugbo thought he should be playing so much there was a financial penalty to the club if he wasn't involved. In 9 league games so far, ugbo has come on in the last minute for 3 of them, Including this sat when we were 5 down and most of the crowd were already home.
  2. watford's is pretty turd. Get why they've gone Elton john, but terrible choice of song. As for us, id like to lean a little more on the side of sheffield. Arctic monkeys brianstorm or I bet you look good on the dance floor for example. Suspect our older fanbase would moan at a change though.
  3. Fair play to those who went on the pitch whilst too many offered the equivalent of "thoughts and prayers". Thank you for doing the right thing in the face of repercussion
  4. It does appear to be a 'scoop' tbf, but like many on here have suggested I think its a purposefully leaked rumour from one or two at the top. For nicko to not be arty farty about the valuation and cover all bases with vagueness, and go outright at 4 tells me hes been told that figure by someone trying to keep the lights on at the club
  5. Gotta be the name and number era. Id have to sell my house to afford shirts from the 60s/70s
  6. Emanuelson - 26 Steve Howard - 29 Who's the best number 3 weve had like '93 onwards?
  7. Morning all. Hope you can help me with a bit of fun. Collecting wednesday shirts has become a full blown addiction, but im now looking to see if I can get a name with each individual number. So who has been our best/worst/funniest/cult hero 1-50? Wildsmith 2? Fletcher 6? Or semedo? Kenwyne jones 15? Windass 47? Looking forward to your suggestions
  8. You can think the team weve got out is crap and accept that there's no option of making it any better. Horvath, weaver, palmer in midfield and brown realistically dont get in any other championship team as first choice options, for example. Only one man to blame. I hope our fans down there do a good job of keeping that fact in the public eye
  9. Waterfront is a crap song to come out to.
  10. I think the idea of putting salary secondary to playing another 40 or so games and really cementing himself in the all time swfc appearance makers list is an incredibly noble one. He'll be rightly revered as a wednesday legend when he hangs up his boots. Unfortunately in the immediate term that doesnt make playing with some massively inferior players and getting tonked most weeks any easier
  11. Those of you who bought your season ticket in January with good intentions, but have since refused to spend a penny in the ground, I applaud you. Those of you who have broke the habit of going to see wednesday every weekend in the name of doing your part, I applaud you. Ive been guilty of it myself, but when you see the league cup attendance, or the pictures of the kiosks, its too easy to focus on the 10s of people and not the 100s and 1000s of Wednesday fans who are genuinely sacrificing in some way in order to do their part in getting this bloke out. We need to keep working on the 1%'s
  12. You'll have to forgive me as I wasn't around here when the miners strikes happened, but were there people then who supported the strikes, but went to work anyway because it was the only time they got to see their mates, or they didnt want to upset their kids?
  13. Cheers for getting back to me. No idea why but I went for all of this seasons shirts. Already got the home, but I've heard nothing from the other two and I paid for them the day they went on there. Didn't know if id got a bit of a cack seller or something
