Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm worried due to what staff, players and other Wednesdayites have told me. I've heard that the owner doesn't intend to spend much more than we did last season, and that the hike in season ticket prices was to help with the cost of the pitch. The owner has a delusion that we will be in the top 2 next season and the ground will be packed. Maguire was complaining to someone about the terms he's been offered and thinks the club wont be spending anything either. I hope they're wrong, because I find it hard to believe that someone would spend £30 million + on a business and not try to take it to the next level. I was never expecting millions to be spent on players, but I do expect to sign better players than what we have done previously to justify the hike in season ticket prices. It's a big season for us and the level of expectation just increased. A quiet summer transfer window would result in a very negative atmosphere around the club. Like i said he is worth £326 million.

The Lost Soul Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Don't shoot the messenger. I'm simply passing on what I've been told. And I'm obviously not going to name the players and staff. I hope they are wrong, but my early optimism has been shot down by this information. When you get told the same thing from a number of people within the club, it starts to become credible.

I hope they are wrong, but my early optimism has been shot down by this information. When you get told the same thing from a number of people within the club, it starts to become credible. You've obviously been talking to the same staff member I have. Don't worry, if it's negative news then people won't believe you, unlike when it's positive and they are falling over themselves to believe it. It's the Owlstalk way. Like I've said before, I hope it's not right what I've heard. But I've absolutely no reason not to believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightace Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Small budget fear comes from, err, having a small budget for the last 15 or so years. Its all some fans have known and its not easy to really believe we might actually spend a few quid,until we spend a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Well by August half of you will be right and half of you will have been talking absolute bovine waste. Personally I don't think any of us knows enough to even guess what's going to happen, so I won't be doing so Not really Dukeries. Like many, I'm feeling positive about the future under Mr C and have no reason to think otherwise. That's all. Will be re-assessing over time based on performance (in all areas). Not making any claims as to what the budget would be and trying to stay level headed about it. I am expecting us to be more competitive in the wage department than in recent years and must confess I'd be disappointed if we're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I've not doubt that Mr Chansiri will fund signings this summer but I'd be absolutely amazed if the big summer spending spree some are expecting takes place. My own personal belief is that the wage bill will see a slight increase and we may see the odd transfer fee of around £200k-£500k spent but that'll be about it. I'm not in the know and I don't have any inside information, I've just seen nothing to suggest otherwise, I think the players we bought in during the January transfer window were a big clue to the direction we're going to be taking and after the last 15 years of constant let downs, I've learned not too expect too much when it comes to Sheffield Wednesday.

darra Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Depends how you define a small budget. Compared to the last few years spending £2 million on players could be classed as huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
