Dan™ Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It was torture. I honestly can't believe how divided we were as a fan base, casued though the direct actions of certain people at the time. It was horrible. Those that enjoyed it must have been off their trolly. I hope we NEVER EVER have to go though that shocking perdiod and our lowest ebb, ever again. It was spoiling everything including the match day experience. What Brian Laws achieved whilst working under those conditions was unbbelivable imho. he just lost the will to live at the end, and you could tell. Absolutely this. I'm frightened and a little saddened to read that some people actually gained enjoyment out of those turbulent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fife_owl Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Most of us (including me) will never know what really happened during the Sheard saga. At the end of the day, the only losers turn out to be Geoff and his family - we got Milan in the end. Sad, and I wouldn't wish bankruptcy on anybody. Having spoken to him once, I fancy he will bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I don't think it's a case of people looking back with fondness, just with humour at what a sad time it was. It was so depressing that it led to some of the funniest threads on OT. That's all we could do to get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***HIRSTY*** Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 At the end of the day you reap what you sow. He is a full weight tugger. Can this poo poo be moved out of the matchday section please, it has no place being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talon Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 You mean like Talon? He/she absolutely LOVED the Sheard saga. The sad tvvat! There is always going to be a degree of dark humour involved whenever attempting to explain to the self-lobotomised that the Emperor has, in fact, not got any clothes on. If you find a proposal so utterly ludicrous that it makes you laugh out loud, it is nevertheless an endless source of amazement as to just how many people willingly suspend all powers of critical analysis and rally to the flag of fukkwittery. Move on 'oh_weds_we_love_you' ; This illusion was shattered long ago, and all you can hear now are the final sad shards tinkling slowly to the ground. Onwards and upwards. The future is blue and white, even if the past is faintly embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It's always amazed me how far you can climb the corporate ladder with a nice overcoat. My camel numbers has only seen the light of day twice in 3 years and they were both funerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I had moved on a long time ago Talon my dearest, I just thought I'd give you a special mention in a thread about the Sheard saga. And something we agree on, the future is blue and white :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 A while after Geoff's attempts to get involved with Wednesday had failed, I had a very interesting telephone conversation with Lee. Lee furnished me with info that allowed me to tie up a few loose ends and make some sense of the whole debacle. You make some interesting links in your post by the way jamsandwich. Like Plonk said, spill the beans........share the info with your wednesday family. I'll make it easy......yes or no will do.......were Geoff and Karen in cahoots?

latemodelchild Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't go back and they were scary times. But, a bit like a destructive relationship, when you're in the middle of it it can be hard to see the reality. They were exciting times. But extreme sports are exciting cos there's a danger. We were in danger of carrying on crap but had the excitement of maybe, just maybe, putting the past behind us and improving. It was probably more fun than it should have been.

marconi Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I even remember us checking the stock exchange website and someone finding his cricket clubs web page which said he was away for the weekend (so naturally he was buying us) Happy days, fooled most of us. Thank heavens for Billsaja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
