steelowl Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thank you for your investment and commitment so far However confronting angry fans after a 4th successive humiliation with another unthinkable one on the doorstep - does no one any good Please appoint Howard wilkinson as CEO / Director of football or what ever title you wish BUT give him the executive ability to handle your investment from here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Judging by the weighty response I'm sensing not many agree to him giving Howard executive powers to get us out of this or is it that we all know he won't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Theboylangers Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 We're all too busy hounding the manager who is basically Mr Chansiri's fall guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It is without doubt that Chansiri should be drawing upon the experience of individuals such as HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 While Howard Wilkinson is an experienced football man with Wednesday close to his heart wasn't it him that brought Alan Irvine to the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I've not seen HW for some time, for all I know he could be in a rest home, uninterested or just no longer capable of such a huge task. Your sentiment is spot on though. DC needs to put some distance between himself and S6 if we are to move forward. The title is irrelevant but the appointment of a true footballing person to oversee footballing matters has been a priority for some considerable time, with hindsight, since day one of DC's reign. I don't think the person needs to be a Wednesday fan because that clearly has a downside to go with any benefits. Also, it limits our options considerably.......

ReadingOwl Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think things have irretrievably broken down with regard to the status of the Club. It just depends how long it will take to bottom out. The big fear is another Portsmouth, Coventry, Bolton, Blackburn etc. I can can see it getting a lot worse before it gets better. Long term, the Club is in a disastrous position - fan recruitment, retention. Alienation. A vanity project gone wrong. It’s exacerbated by those across the City doing well, and charging reasonable prices. I have no idea if the Chairman has the funds to continue. Or, how it will end. But, I have my suspicions. But I dont see a change of course - it’s just one way now. Down. It’s long term survival, fans should be concentrating on - not relegation/promotion. New generations of fans, players, managers and investment won’t be attracted to us. Yes, I’m that cynical. Mostly predictable I’m afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an absolute given that at the minimum he is consulted if/when Jos goes it should but wont happen I know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need a hw type though to get stuck in and sort it out yep he may have put his slippers on and not want an exec role but I would at least recommend going round his house and getting his advice or even MM he needs help and he needs it last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are swimming to the lifeboats - or will be. Not swimming towards a burning wreck. Whats bits of the infrastructure do suggest are worth clinging onto? Its a write off ATM. Top to bottom. 3 years of mismanagement, of colossal proportions. Positives/optimism - I don’t see any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always options we are not relegated yet the thing that worries me is the' big trouble' we are in in the unlikely event we aren't promoted - (deluded much ?) Even if I was an egotistical autocrat -If I was watching 80m go down the drain I might seek some help this season under an embargo was always going to be a ***** I will settle for mid table now and off load as many sick notes as we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
