gurujuan Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Why would we not be facing an issue Paying over the odds for “past their sell buy date” players, with no resale value Accumulating a huge squad, all on big contracts. Mismanagement at its worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got bored listening to the intro. Can somebody publish the highlights Thank you. Indeed. Basically we are at the point where if DC doesn't get a grip on spending, wages and outgoings we could be in serious trouble. Moving forward expect more youth opportunities and small fees on younger players with potential. The first two seasons was a gamble which alas failed narrowly but has left an aging squad with little resale value. The legacy of these signings will seriously impact our spending power for at least two more years. People are mistaken if they think selling Rhodes will improve this situation. It's a bit of a mess quite frankly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I would be ringing around the Chinese clubs touting 'former premier league stars' such as Fletcher and Wallace. On balance I would also say it is possibly time to cash in on FF. A cup run would be very welcome in so many ways too.

Kopparberg Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I listened to (nearly a full) one of their podcasts the other week. It was quite good. They had quite sensible opinions on most things. Podcasts are good to listening to while doing something else. Their intro song of “I’m up all night to get Lukukay” was quite amusing too.

Not the most extensive player but didn't seem like a small fee either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worksop Wednesday Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 just listened, a bit arduous at points but overall worth it, much of it appears what we know but talks in more technical terms , high wage bill, little resale value etc Interesting bits include our organic match day income higher than many prem clubs eg Stoke but then again, no surprise really ? Just makes me think back to how close we came last 2 play offs, then I particularly think about Carlos' tactics v Huddersfield And if that was the bell tolling the end of DC's '2 year project' WTF did he not act sooner ??

Guest We Shall Overcome Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Talk about being a 'Drama Queen' their is not much wrong with our squad of players, and a good coach will be able to get us promoted, with out wasting £millions and risking an embargo, with a few adjustments like releasing players, who are not good enough, and giving some of the good younger one a chance, I am sure our new Coach knows what we will need. This league is not all its cracked up to be,the Sky PR people have done a good job in scaring fans to death, in telling them how hard it is, but at the end if the day its 2 hours ago, @owlstalk said: You guys really need to hear this. The best explanation of Sheffield Wednesday's situation that you'll hear. It goes through the players we have, the kind of contracts they're on, the length of contracts, agents like Doyen, Club 1867, why selling players like Jordan Rhodes would actually mean we are way worse off in terms of FFP and more It's a dense serious listen to grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, and focus on it and you'll learn all you need to know. It's not the most positive outcome for Wednesday fans but we definitely need to hear and consider it all. Essential listening even if you think that you understand FFP Drama Queen!!!!!

striker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We all know we gambled and it didn't work. We all know we cannot sustain the strategy of buying in expensive players with no resale value. Recent recruitment strategy suggests we have learned from this and welcome more signings like Pelupessey at a reasonable fee and presumably reasonable wages. Other recent acquisitions such as Reach, Van Aken, Venancio alike are more exciting prospects and have arguably contributed more to the first team than some of our expensive acquisitions recently and have potential to develop. I would be happy if we were no longer competing for Premier League drop downs and looking to develop players, similar to those mentioned above.

I haven't listened to it so apologies if wrong but why doesn't selling Rhodes and getting his wages off the bill improve our finances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
