Sounds in no rush as 'can't do anything in transfer windows' and is 'monitoring situation'. Perhaps nobody can do much in the next year or so, so anyone even half interested may as well wait for the value to drop as the club drops down league(s) or goes into admin etc. DC should hopefully/eventually realise this and drop the price sharply.

If The Players Walked Off At Leicester
Ash77 replied to BIG D's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Waste of time, we're nik nacked -
Stadium wrecked, 'squad' lg1/lg2, millions needed to be a decent tier 2 club now, 10s more for promotion and theres ffp restrictions for anyone rich enough to swallow that. Price at end of last season was 10s of millions but has been falling rapidly every day for a while and will continue to do so as relegation happens in record time, after which lg2 may be just another season away. Best case now a few million, worst case a quid in admin which hopefully happens asap with no sale likely any time soon, may not happen until season ticket sales collapse for next season and 12 point deduction for admin might mean lg2 anyway, may as well write a few seasons off now and hope hes gone whilst its still fixable

Asset strip then admin the play before hmrc owed etc? Points deduction means zilch, down anyway, hopefully might just want out quick now -

Everything in place for value to plummet fast after 1 or 2 or 3 relegations. If admin happens before lg1/lg2/non league it can cost a quid to buy, so why spend 10s of millions now? Not well read on subject but Admin looks best/only option for us, nobodys gonna buy when value in rapid freefall, value needs to bottom out which is likely £1 due to investment required from scratch. Mass boycott might speed it up, if chump dumps it into admin at least he saves 10m+ a year in losses, should have sold much earlier when we had a mid table squad -
Hirst, palmer, (waddle, walker, nillson tied) Hirst 250k and became most valuable player in country (record uk fee rejected) Palmer 750k? Never injured, midfield never dominated by anyone, big profit made Walker much longer contribution than waddle but waddle pfa player of season, nillson a bargain, maybe not quite same after cruciate injury Warhurst & thome great players and sold for big profits, sheridan, marwood, pearson, chamberlain, chapman, harkes great signings amongst others. Plenty of duds and lows but cant remember an unfolding disaster like this tho, no honour and criminal behaviour

Trouble is value will be dropping all the time, why rush business wise?

Remember probably the strangest ever 89-90 season quite well as a 12 year old, was ball boy when we won eventual champions liverpool 2-0 midweek, was still buzzing the next morning at school. We were poor at start of season like the season before when ron kept us up after eustace, but from nov 89 when sheridan and king signed we were a good to watch decent mid table side. Front 2 were unreal but nobody else chipped in enough goals and we lacked a winger, ron saw this and franz carr signed on loan xmas 1989 which gave us balance and made us a top 10 side at least, we were then racing to safety after being rock bottom in october, getting 19pts from 12 games with carr in from xmas. (1.58pts/game all season like in those 12 games would have finished 5th on 60pts) For context the last 5 games before franz carr was recalled we won 4 including beating man u (franz set up hirst) and arsenal and drew 1, everyone thought we were safe on march 20th on 39pts. Then Carr got recalled after the man u win on 20/3/90 and the last 7 games we lost 5/7 getting just 4pts, without him we were still easily good enough to stay up so there were other factors but it clearly affected us. So we started as a rock bottom side, improved to mid table with sheridan and king, improved to a top 5-10 side with carr, beat the top 2 (liv&villa), beat arsenal and man u and finished on 43pts a record to go down with, it was a strange, emotional rollercoaster, low, high, higher then ultimately a crushingly record breaking season. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/franz-carr/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/222286/plus/0/saison/1989/wettbewerb/EFD1/verein/1035 (Franz carr swfc game results on loan)

Clearly needs to be a back 4, 3 in midfield whether 433/4231, iorfa not fit enough to start fb, maybe worth considering at cb instead of lowe, neither great in air tho dom taller and campbell is 6ft, (max struggled vs coventry striker simms in air) and we need some height, if bannan not fit start chalobah Beadle Pol/val iorfa ike ryo Charles bannan svante Windass pato gassama

Beadle: 5 S. Charles: 5 wasted at cb, lost runner for goal and putting him there left midfield light with big gaps that led to 1st half dire showing, pinned us back, invited pressure, starved forwards, 2-0 down, a tactical error that again needed correcting 2nd half. Will be fresh for sun now but needs to be in midfield, if we sit back with a back 5 we always pay Ihiekwe: 7 M. Lowe: 6 ok but worry about him in air as not a natural cb, iorfa needs to step up Valentín: 7 extra point for that ball to windass who set up winner Johnson: 6 Wanted hatsuse on 2nd half but got away with it despite crosses coming in from right Ingelsson: 6 lots of running as ever but struggled in an outnumbered midfield that badly missed charles 1st half Bannan: 7 Windass: 8.5* Shone 2nd half when we had a midfield, goal, assist, superb Gassama: 7 Kept going, got the reward Paterson: 7.5 extra point as won 9 aerials, next highest was duffy with 4, likes of him and svante help with set pieces Chalobah: 7 added bite but like smith needs to be sensible in box defending set pieces, especially away Smith: 6 Another great turn around, may as well try and win every game now, ditch the back 5 sitting back nonsense we are far better on the attack
-
Charles wasted as a 3rd cb, goal came from gap in midfield, sitting back with an outnumbered midfield always asking for trouble
-
Beadle Valery ike lowe hatsuse Charles armstrong bannan Windass smith gassama 1st half good at 3rd place until 43rd min switch off on left, our midfield was strong with those 3 but wasted chances. Without bernard/svante/pato we're a short side so would leave smith in to try avoiding soft set piece goals.
-
Beagle: 6 Valery: 6 Ihiekwe: 6 Lowe: 6.5 Johnson: 5.5 switched off for 1st which changed game S. Charles: 6.5 strong midfield 3 controlled game until suckered just before ht Bannan: 6.5 Armstrong: 6.5 a nearly performance, just missed the finishing touches to take lead Windass: 6 Gassama: 7* Smith: 6 Otegbayo: 4 not his fault was brought on instead of hatsuse but clearly not ready, being goal side is one of first things young kids learn Hatsuse: 7 promising, needs a starting run of games now to get match fit, sub him off when/if tired Ingelsson: 6 1st time DR picked same team i posted and got stuffed Saying that we were better side thwarted by good defending/slightly wasteful finishing until they ran at and cut thru a buttery defence badly missing bernard and a natural lb. Misguided sub at ht sealed fate, 2nd half went from a play off side missing an injured cb and an elusive striker to a bit of a shambles, but 1st half display away from home vs 3rd was promising.
-
Thats our best/bear best available side, has an issue starting smith tho so may be ugbo, but id prefer windass false 9 with pato and gassama flanking, or try musaba central for counters
-
Ugbo has been a disaster, loads of missed chances, never on end of anything for an easy tap in, missing free headers, missing from a yard, skying a pen etc, it's lg2 and below stuff, not sure his workrates good enough either. Cant keep relying on him and then 2nd half to get points, needs to start smith for a run of games. After smith would rather see windass as a false 9 or musaba (when fit) up the middle as a 9 than him, will be tricky but needs offloading next season imo
