Guest wilyfox Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 We have moved on - but we still can't assert ourselves in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxypuppet Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 And we're still losing games. We'll always lose games. Everyone does - otherwise we'd be premiership, european and FA Cup winners from now until the end of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 MM took over on the 14th December 2010. On the 18th December we played Exeter away - and in his first match as Chairman he watched us go down to a 5-1 defeat. Our line-up that day was; 0 Nicky Weaver 2 Tommy Spurr 4 Darren Purse 8 Tommy Miller 11 Jermaine Johnson 13 Mark Beevers 14 Darren Potter 15 Chris Sedgwick 19 Clinton Morrison 21 Gary Teale 26 Daniel Jones The manager - of course - was Alan 'Ive done my coaching badges' Irvine. Milan paid £7m to the Co-Op Bank which wiped out debts of £23m. He paid the HMRC bill of £1.4m - which the club had been given 30 days to pay on the 17th November. We were playing in the 3rd tier. Less than 3 years later we kicked off for our 2nd season back in the 2nd tier, and our line up was 01 Kirkland 04 Gardner 05 Zayatte 19 Mattock (Maghoma - 37' ) 22 Palmer Booked 11 J Johnson 12 Prutton 14 Coke 34 Nuhiu 07 Antonio 17 Helan The manager - Dave Jones. Thats ON the pitch. Off the pitch - again - we've made quantum leaps forward, revenues are up, crowds are well up. We have a development squad and an Academy plan, the Community programme is one of the best in the whole country. If MM does leave the club soon (and I personally think he will) he can hold his head up high, the ship has been steadied, the club is much more attractive to investment, and its clearly going forward at all levels. STOP BLOODY MOANING - ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY. Excellent post Nigel. You missed that we now also have a scouting organisation and network, more academy staff in relevant and appropriate positions, and a larger, appropriately staffed and better equiped medical department. Everything that MM has put in place won't neccesarilly have an effect in the short term but the long term effect will be tremendous. The things that MM is doing are the things 'lesser' clubs like Wigan, Stoke and Bolton have been relying upon for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get where I'm coming from? Yes, it's one of those things that happens in English cup competitions and has been suffered by every single club in English professional football at one time or another. To be honest, we've suffered more than our fair share but that does not make it a sign of standing still or regression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaframe Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think the only area where we are weak at the moment is goalscoring. A couple of wonderstrikes from Rotherham ought to have been cancelled out by a couple of goals against less talented opposition at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 101 is described as the worst place in the world where unspeakable things happen to people that don't agree with Big Brother. Can you imagine being strapped in a chair and forced to listen to Council Owl's moaning and whinging for hours on end? That would put the flipping thought criminals in their place!

Council owls negative opnions on owlstalk Give me summat to be optimistic about sheffield Wednesday. The thing is we were a very good side in the early 90's, other than that we've been crap, we're not a good side and I'm thinking maybe a mid table bottom end championship side, too many on here settle for shitt.

dannyhowsonswfc Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Even with a very reasonable post people still love to argue the throw. Why can't people just smile and get on with it, have a spliff and chill the f*** out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 To say we haven't moved on would be unfair, of cause we've moved forward. My gripe is the way MM tells us one thing and it never happens, or playing catch up like last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Guns Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 On the pitch it's too early in the season to see if we've progressed Off the pitch you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know things have improved massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I completely agree that we have moved forward, but from where we were it's pretty difficult to go any lower in terms of the way the club was run and the playing staff. The thing is the majority of other football teams are constantly improving their playing squad and facilities (with a few exceptions of course). We as sheffiled Wednesday are improving year on year (potentially standing still to season though), however we are still way behind most the teams in the division. This isn't a complaint just stating my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
