The lowest I’ve ever felt as a Wednesday fan

Sadly, I've never bought the money theory that he's loaded/has a good funds source.

 

The Paxo stuffing tie in, cheapo kit debacle, unknown unemployed manager shiite, rinsing the fans for every penny etc tells me Daddy has put limits on our super successful businessman.

 

 

just about making a quick profit, and a great ego boost.

he's failed.

think he has the money, just wants maximum profit.

if he wasn't in it for the quick buck, he'd have invested heavily in the areas he's allowed to, like the stadium, training ground and youth set up.

I may be being optimistic, but am I the only one who thinks that something else is going on other than changing manager. 

Been too quiet from swfc, not heard  from KM or DC, then the bid do at the octagon, something was going on surely? So still expecting some positive developments before Saturday and think more than just a possible new manager. All guess work but been too quiet on the comms.

Not the lowest time for me .. that was relegation from the championship followed by our first season in league one, than the 2nd relegation and similar finish in league one.

 

Its bad, but its more off the field stuff at the minute thats frustrating ,,, really really frustrating ...

 

To have such an opportunity to take this club forward with, finally, some financial backing, we've only gone and just f*cked it up ...

I think I care less than I've ever cared, the beauty of that is I don't care.

Personally I worry that Wednesday might be a defining moment in my 26 year love affair with Wednesday.

 

If Chansiri says he’s staying put and has no intention to sell

If he says Jos is a good manager and is doing a good job, and isn’t going anywhere

And if he blames the fans 

 

Then that might be me done for a while

With an 8 hour round trip to see home games, and at this stage of my life, unfortunately I don’t have the time or money to justify supporting what is quite frankly a shambles. 

 

What i will say is I have the highest respect for those of you who will still go to matches, as you are the reason wednesday will always be the greatest club in the world.  WAWAW 

 

Dont think you’ll be the only one drifting away now mate.  Sad times for all wednesday fans tonight

Lowest for me was getting relegated against Crystal Palace.

 

We still have half a season to turn it around.

Think that was the worst I have ever felt alongside the 2- 4 defeat to our neighbours

Tonight. By quite a stretch.

 

People can do the usual and say ‘be grateful remember the Allen days, remember when Irvine was in charge’, truth is I feel more disillusioned and disconnected from this club than ever before.

 

Its garbage in every aspect.

 

I don't feel any allegiance to what our club's owner has been doing with our club, but I see what he has been doing, pretty much the same way as I see a dog carer not looking after my old dog properly.

 

I will always love the Wednesday and what it has meant to me, my family and friends over the years. I know it can get back to being something caring and special again, but I do believe that it needs some input from an actual bone fide fan or group of fans to help decide exactly how things are done at the club for it's long term future instead of whichever owner's short term ego trip. 

 

My lowest point as a Wednesday fan was the summer of 2010, when we had been relegated in the last game by a cheating Crystal Palace, who should have been relegated themselves, to none league football for continuing to flaunt the rules governing fair play. To compound our misery we had already sold our talisman Marcus Tudgay to make ends meet, had gone through all the palaver with Cloud 9, after Allen had finished taking fans to court,spat his dummy out and was heading for the door. Cloud 9 had been feeding us with so many promises and bull for month after month, before they finally pullled out and were then told in the national press that in order to end our transfer embargo, which prevented us from making free signings like Clinton Morrison (!) and pay the taxman, who was expected to wind up the club if we did not cough up for several unpaid bills. So we would have to sell our only other saleable player, (My) Lee Grant. The fact that several other potential buyers had all dropped out and that fan groups were trying to rustle up a few bob to buy the club, but were nowhere near enough to even the lowest valuation estimates, meant that the club folding altogether really was a strong possibility. I was distraught. I could not believe that we were so close to collapsing and sinking never to be seen again and I definitely had that horrible sinking feeling.

 

We didn't though did we? We got saved at the very last minute thanks to Lees Strafford's background work with the bank and shareholders, the very knowledgeable MM came in and Wednesday sailed on. The slightly over enthusiastic Owlstalk relaunched the freshly crewed HMS PTL and after a dodgy maiden voyage in league 1, we waited a season until the perfect opportunity arose to scupper the pigs plans for automatic promotion, by pipping them to the last spot with the aid of our old captains fantastic, the right honourable Mr Gary Megson and the creditable Agent 'Didwell' Wilson! The gap between the Owls and the Pigs became an Abyss, when DC brought in Carlos and our new coaches dream almost became reality when he skilfully piloted us all the way to the Wembley play off final. OK certain things above Carlos had already gone awry, but we were all prepared to forgive the ticket prices going through the roof along with everything else if we reached the promised land with our new heroes in the team. Surely more would be added and we would all go again for another full on assault.

 

Sadly no, it did not happen, but now surely, with new investors circling like sharks and Chansiri ready to swim for shore, surely now we can all be optimistic again that a new owner can come along, hopefully with at least a solid love for the game and help us sail on to a happy place again?

Agreed. Im not going again until Jos gets sacked. A new manager would get a lot more out of this lot.

 

I acknowledge there are a lot of issues with our Chairman and our direction but this Manager has surely got to be our worst Managers over the last 20 years or so. Negative, passionless, passive, no plan. Just awful.

Im currently looking for a non-league side to start following
