What’s all this crap today from jos !!! Do you mind me asking what your day job is? Or was? I keep reading how how the chairman’s job is to be honest with us, to be transparent but it’s not I don’t think. It’s to do the best by the club, sometimes that’s good for us as fans, others it may seem it’s not. Lets use KW as you’ve mentioned that one, if (and it’s a big if), he’s trouble, he’s a liability, he’s a crock, what ever he is and the club feel he needs to be sold. Do you think we get a better or worse price after telling fans the truth in the spirit of transparency? So so in keeping quiet and holding council he in theory keeps his assets (our clubs assets) at a higher value, which may allow you an extra player that you desire to save your 50th year supporting us. To be honest, I wish sometimes I could quit! It save me quite a bit of hurt, anguish, misplaced hope and dreams. If you can quit you’re a better man than I, as I’m unfortunately Wednesday til I die!

Fact is that we're now going in the other direction - that's what makes it more frustrating. mis-read your post, sorry! The club has been managed terribly financially but as for the OP jacking it in after 3 games of this season because it has never been worse - it was worse in the 70's and less than a decade ago when we were on the court steps fighting off winding-up orders without enough money to print the programmes.

No there wasn't. I can remember a lynch mob forming (lead by me) when Darren Potter failed to take 3 corners in a row and we failed to beat a 9 man Yeovil side. We were f*cking woeful, the fan base was united in so much as they all wanted Irvine out but there was no connection with the team at all.

StudentOwl Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well, the OP best be ready to pack it in, because I'm pretty sure the money's run out and we'll be lucky to see any incomings at all That said... I can't imagine 'packing it in' because the club (hypothetically at this stage) haven't bought anyone in. You're acting like it's a surprise this is the case... it's been ruddy obvious for weeks/months we've run dry of funds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Honestly although things are pretty crap atm if this is your breaking point were you actually there when we went through the Dave Allen Crrrretins, Lee Strafford, Gary Teale's Bentleys, HMRC winding up orders years. I mean if I were gunna give up Wednesday and go that would have been the time. It ain't quite that bad now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
