Utah Owl Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I put this in the matchday section as I think it directly affects us in two ways. 1) Blackburn are in such turmoil that I simply don't see them surviving due to the impact on morale 2) For those who moan about the way Milan runs the club this serves as a timely reminder of just how lucky we are to have him instead of crazy unrealistic owners such as the Venky's http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21843906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 They've put the guy in temporary charge who won 4 and drew 1 of his 5 games in charge before Appleton was appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, football managers have a Reyt life You may or may not be right. Personally I'd rather us be self sufficient and try to maximise that potential.

Tried at Pompey, Coventry, Leeds, Blackburn, QPR and various others. Tell you what Council, why not re-mortgage your house and put all your money into Wednesday, you seem happy enough for other people to spend theirs with no realistic prospect of a return.

mrgund Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 But as a manager could you put in the energy and passion knowing that after 60 odd days in the job if you go on a losing run you'll get sacked? I know you can say who cares, you get a pay off, but as a professional football manager surely having that over your head from the start would mean you're heart isn't fully in it. Not to mention it looks awful on your CV. I dunno, maybe I've been playing too much Football Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Don't get into football if you intend to keep your money. Exactly, yet you expect others to do what you are not willing to? The game has to change, hopefully FFP will start the process. As a bigger club with better turnover it should help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Don't get into football if you intend to keep your money. That's the truth but its not right.

Kin ell matey, if I could get us into the prem on a public sector wage I would, he should stop coming out with "we're going to give it a real go", soundbite and put his money in or shut the flip up.

Yes Milan has not managed expectations particulary well notwithstanding what I said above about being financially self sufficient going forward. It won't change while the big bucks get paid to prem teams. Everybody wants a slice of that cake. No argument from me there but its stll insane and self indulgent.

I'm making the point that as fans we are completely unrealistic in expecting people to throw endless amounts of money in yet we quibble about a few quid. I never want to see Wednesday get into the mess we were in just a couple of years ago again, ever. Whether the money is owed to the banks (like we did) or to an over owner who has over-reached himself (like United) it doesn't matter, ultimately it kills the football club and sentences it's fans to years of misery.
