mike312 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 That's me done too until something changes. I could, and have accepted poor performances as we all have at different times, but it's all so frustrating. When we had no money I accepted we were poor but this team and Carlos' tactics bore me to death. I could tell you what was going to happen today it's become all too predictable. I don't like what Chansiri is doing either. I will always be an owl of course but I've got better things to do than watch players on tens of thousands of pounds per week not be able to cross a ball, take a throw in or shoot. It doesn't feel like the Sheffield Wednesday I have supported for the last 37 years. I have a season ticket but won't attend until something changes.

We should have flogged him for as much as possible and moved on. The team spirit and togetherness of the club and fanbase has never been the same since. 100% spot on nailed it. Whatever happened leading up to this and the event itself was the beginning. Team and togetherness wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following that issue, we started waving fat contracts around to the likes of Westwood, Lee, Lees, Hutchinson etc. This was in the months after the FF toys/pram situation. Any coincidence?

There's a lot of players at Sheffield Wednesday on very lucrative contracts (not just salary wise, but years on their deals). Based on what I've seen so far this season only Gary Hooper is in anyway shape or form justifying the money being paid to him.

Bob Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 So sad reading the posts in this thread. Often Owlstalk is one big wind up, expertly stirred by Neil. These posts are serious and worrying. We have fallen so far and quickly from the highs of playoffs and expectations of the promised land. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team has now flatlined under his and st holders are now not going. Wake up Wrong.....season ticket holders in their massive majority are going.....a few have said they aren't and of those nearly all are giving different reasons for not doing so, nearly all of which could be the reason at any club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake up & smell the coffee; we're mid table without FF. Many Owlstalk numpties couldn't see this. It pretty feckin obvious now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may try to recoup as much cash as possible in January, selling off available assets on the playing side. I can see him hiding behind his 'honour' being harmed by the 'abuse' he has received and leaving the club in the hands of someone else, with the aim of running at a profit- which is probably only possible on budgets akin to the Milan years, but with Chansiri prices. Agreed. I posted a few weeks ago that when it becomes clear that we aren't getting promoted any time soon, DC will seek to recoup his losses by selling our best players and then look to sell us on to any takers quicker tan many would believe.

I was talking about the offering of new, lucrative contracts to many members of the squad, not just Forestieri. Chill the f00k out, you absolute mentalist.

I'm still speculating- obviously, but I think it's becoming quite obvious Chansiri isn't the cuddly fella quite a few people thought he was, don't you?

I can't think of many who thought he was a "cuddly fella". My own personal view was we were a bit of a vanity project for a wealthy many, some seem to think he came here to take us up and make loads of money... If his plan was the latter then I think he may want to rethink his strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
