I think the vast majority are well aware of the trouble we are in and are resigned to the fact we desperately need to generate more money and the most obvious way to do so will be to sell valuable players, which seems inevitable next summer if not before. There are a few posters on here that have been predicting the financial malaise our Chairman has led us into for over 2 years - and all they have had is abuse from posters (like you ironically) desperate to shoot the messenger - and lap up every bit of crap that has come out of steering groups, fans forums, Chairmans interviews and statements on the website "FFP isnt a problem" Oh yes it is, and it still is. We have to overturn a £20m deficit in spending in one season to avoid another embargo next year. I'm going to repeat that for effect and just to make sure you, and every body else understand it.

The majority were, however in their defence it was difficult to get a word in egdgeways with Mr Chansiri. The format was supposed to be round the table but by the time we were half way round most questions had been answered in one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coe_22 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I genuinely think the club should have some sort of young people’s forum. To pick their brains and garner ideas. For example pick 20 season ticket holders between the ages of 14 -18 and have a split of 50/50 males and females. I genuinely think that the club would benefit 10 fold for thus as the younger generation have never known our success from the 90s and don’t yet have any agendas other than going to watch and cheer on the players.

Show me any instance where I have given anyone abuse or denied that our financial situation is a serious problem. You posted that you find dragging yourself out of the pub for home game depressing - when we are unbeaten at home for a while and have scored plenty of goals in recent home games.

We have to overturn a £20m deficit in spending in one season to avoid another embargo next year. Ive made it bold and underlined so that nobody can misconstrue. It’s been quite obvious to most that DC and his entourage are not capable of running Sheffield Wednesday correctly. Point it out on here and you get called negative or a gloom and doom merchant - while the usual mob (a lot that don’t go anywhere near Hillsborough) start praising the silly membership schemes, the fact we have Sheffield music, kits for fat blokes, etc all the peripheral nonsense. The core of growing the club in the correct manner has been neglected/overlooked/incorrectly done. Look no further than the joke that was the 150th anniversary shambles, our embarrassment of ticket prices and the fiasco that has been the kit. Sadly the only way we can help the club at the minute is to go the matches. The season ticket holders are and have been outstanding during his tenure - now it’s up to the casual fan. Yes the prices are sickening, but if you care enough to give the club a glimmer of hope in the next few years I’d suggest you try and go to 1 in 3 Home matches. We had 40k at Wembley, we have 20k season ticket holders - the other 20k its now in your hands. Is 1 game in 3 too much to ask? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I think having a range of forums is great and the club should be listening meaningfully. I also think that it should be such a rarity that we get a better suggestion from them than ‘be clearer on shirt sizing’ or ‘softer bog roll please’. The CEO should be going back in to the office on Monday stating ‘nothing new, on with the show’ when asked what came out of the steering group purely because we’re already focused on the right plan.

You do realise that the peripheral nonsense can be added/sorted as WELL as everything else? It's not one or the other I wish people would understand this It's like saying "All those who keep going to the chip shop asking for the peripheral peas or beans on their fish and chips" You can fry a lovely piece of fish and make it superb AND then add beans or peas That's how life is (and chip shops) Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about away games - you mentioned not being able to drag yourself out of the pub for home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
