Hopefully, Brucey boy can double up in that role as well. I'll get you for this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I think this could be a great pairing. When Bruce said "Our Chairman can be a little bit off the wall at times" I took this to mean Bruce will ensure that no one will have the Chairmans pants down while he is around. Something like High Lord Protector as in Oliver Cromwell. Yes, I think Bruce will become a close confidant of our chairman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Think he has done well, Bruce has got us all feel8ng positive.....well most of us except the usual suspect who want to neg anything to do with him.

Its not a point of "Negging" anything to do with him...If you actually think he hasn't made mistakes then its beyond simple sycophancy..its bordering on delusional.

This overreaction of FFP, people acting like it’s Groundhog Day because we’re under it If DC hadn’t splashed the cash most would be complaining Now he has and he still gets flack?

Its not all been rosy, its pretence to think it is, Its all so a little naive to write off the EFL and FFP, cos we are simply guessing, and it seems that DC is doing the same as us...Now you might find that comforting..I actually don't , because I expect the chairman of the football club to KNOW about these things...happens he is taking it on a wing and a prayer as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still suspect he is gambling with the club’s future on a vanity project. If it all goes wrong it’s not him who will feel it the most... Er, he will be a few million down so I guess he won't be dancing with happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 When you start something new with an enormous warchest ...and tell the world that you haven't a clue about how things work... You might as well be swimming in the sea in Florida with a backpack full of fish guts. It looks like the nightmare is over for the time being.

Spot on mate...Thats how we all are posting our views..It affects people...The fact that DC has put millions in is f.ookin' relative. Some owls fans who can't afford POTG have been alienated from their club..I haven't as yet, but I can see it coming...and when and if it does, DC to me, will be the devil incarnate. I want the Premier league...we all do, but not at the expense of being able to watch the team I have watched since the f.ookin' 60's at 5 years old. I would walk past Barcelona playing Real madrid in Hillsborough park to see The Wednesday play f.ookin' Crewe in league 2..Ive no real interest in football apart from Wednesday. I accept I might be some sorta Dinosaur in todays football, but what else do I post?..Make summat up? I bought 2 season tickets lasst byear, one for me and one for me lad , who has 2 kids and simply can't ante up for a season ticket..He's been a mad Owls fan since he was 3 FFS!...I made sure of that, but there must be a legion of Owls fans in his situation...Are they gonna pay over £35 POTG every week, with kids, electric, mortgage rent? Course they aren't cos it affects their whole family..If theres no or little increase...I can ante up for him again this year..but honestly its hard..its a choice a simple football fan shouldn't have to make. DC doesn't understand this...and its fair enough..I don't want either his sympathy or his charity. Sheffield Wednesday was born out of grit, tears an' f.ookin' steel...a break from the bloody awful working week our forefathers had to endure to make a bleedin' living..As were most clubs..Its a tradition..It was simply something the working classes could use to escape from it all..Its obviously not on that scale now..but the tradition lives on...it should be easily affordable. Its funny DC had us stand in 3 minutes silence outta respect for his culture...but rides roughshod over some of ours...

prowl Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Dc has invested millions in the club for which I'm very grateful. He's either been badly advised or made some questionable decisions but nobody is perfect, he needed to make mistakes to learn. He's had one manager who did well but lost his way and another manager who never found his way. Now he's seen the light and brought in a tried ,tested and respected manager with lots of experience. That's definately a step in the right direction. As we only have one owner I think the best we can do is remember the mistakes but accept them as what they were, attempts to do the right thing that went wrong. Now we give DC a pat on the back for appointing Bruce and get behind the owner, the manager and the players. I don't think we can get to the play offs this year but never mind we can try. If we learn who needs keeping, who needs moving on and what our best system is in the process then this season will have been the new beginning we all want for the club. Onwards and upwards.

Mountain Owl Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He quite categorically said Steve will be making all the football decisions. He is putting complete faith in the man and backing him also financially as much as he is allowed to. He has listened to the fans and gave us what we want so things are looking up. Lets just hope it all pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a football forum...waddya want some sort of regimented "Lets all call it rosy" website?
