TrueOwl Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 If Sheffield Wednesday PLC started investing in Private Prisons in the USA we would have this put transfer embargo nonsense to bed in no time. On a serious note the club needs to start investing in non football revenue streams and ventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebowl Yell Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It’s the season ticket holders fault looking to get cut price entry to the presentation every season. They need to realise they are fleecing the club and then buy every single ticket at adult rate POTG. That’s the TruFan way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaf and bottle of water = approx £3, So yes.. It would be better and cheaper, than giving them a tenner!

It's nowt to do with us coughing up it's how well the existing funds are spent and ours might as well have been peshed up the wall. The advisors and recruiters want firing for a start. Spot on. But how do we bring a Brentford scenario about? It's never going to happen unless Chansiri gets proper advice. This is at the heart of what I'm saying. It's not just the money to alleviate FFP, or whatever they call it now, it's about trying to induce Chansiri to seek different advice. 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. Hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Chansiri arrogantly decided to do it "his way". And to think that some fans didn't want Roeder near the club. OK, his managerial record is patchy, but his knowledge of players and scouting is first rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it might still be for nothing. Say I offer to buy an executive box for £2m pounds. But if that two million is then wasted on yet another striker that we don't need , doesnt fot the system and then spends 6 months injured then I'll have thrown more good money after bad.

boxing_day Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think the OP has a point, but for me the fans have committed and have provided a huge increase in revenue since DC came to the club. I think we’ve done our bit - what additional revenue streams have been created by the club? The obvious one a stadium sponsor, if we are on the cusp of ffp surely that’s a no brainier?
