Popular Post Athelwulf Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 Chansiri once said that he'd spend £200 million to get us up. But he's not allowed to. It wouldn't matter if he were as rich as Croesus. It's about turnover. The only way we can increase turnover is by putting our hands in our pockets. The money's got to come from us. We'll all have to pay a tenner a game more, including ST holders. It's a packet of fags and a pint. Either that, or we're in the brown up to our necks. 3 1 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshallovercome Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It would be like giving a homeless drug addict a tenner, far better to give them a loaf and a bottle of water. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF, and I repeat IF, Chansiri is prepared to take on an football adviser. And NOT a foreigner. Somebody who knows this division, and understands the game as it's played here. We could raise £5 million over the season. There's just no other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Chuck Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 No chance. All I'm bothered about is being able to afford to watch my team. I'm not bothered about success if the closest the average fan can get to it is watching the results come in on Final Score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueOwl Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Tickets don't even remotely cover wages. Fans just simply cannot prop up 20m+ losses annually before even spending a penny on new transfers and wages, It's got to come from the company. The only way a supposedly rich owner can funnel money in to the club is either by directly sponsoring naming rights and events or buying other companies under the Sheffield Wednesday holding company and listing them as assets/revenue which is what Ken Bates and McCabe,etc. do.

Athelwulf Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 For me, though, it's not just about trying to combat this embargo. It's a lever to get Chansiri to take on an adviser. Look at the players we signed at first, before Chansiri went it alone. With the right advice it isn't necessary to blow money as we have of late.

bigash_swfc Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've said many times, I want to buy into this season. I want to invest my time and money. But we are 3/4 players off being competitive in my eyes. I don't even mean competiting for top 6, I mean competing weekly and that's painful to admit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the money that has been wasted in the last 3 years. Spending stupid wages on the likes of Urby Emanuelson for example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I’m not spending another penny until I get an adequate explanation and apology for everything from Carlos not being fired earlier, to the fitness and medical debacle, to our frankly embarrassing and inconsistent transfer policy. Fair play to those willing to spend. I’m just feeling further removed than ever from the club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
