Sergeant Tibbs Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 41 minutes ago, Mr Farrell said: That isn't what we have now though. Currently we are spending the most money in our history, breaking EFL rules left right and centre, have half the same team we had 4 years ago, and we rip off fans to watch us. The killer is we are no closer to promotion, and face an uncertain future due to EFL investigations and points deductions. Not good, and still not seeing a long term plan to address the issues. Thought the same when I saw the team sheet on Saturday. Five years ago I went to Charlton, our star man was Nuhiu. He put in a good shift in both games. But if he is our starting striker we wont get the goals to go up. Add insult to injury, the other attacking options are even less effective. In the half time warm up Winnall couldn't trap a ten yard pass, and looked like he couldn't give a turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively disappointing to read in the media our owner is being charged with misconduct. Just because he can't follow rules, why should we as fans, and our team get punished ? I'm up for the EFL punishing his misconduct, but leave us out of it. We are getting spanked enough in ticket prices. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Our first Umbongo from the EFL was a shot across our bows to get our house in order . So what do we do , invent another fake company, sell the ground to them at a vastly inflated price , then try and back date the sale to the previous years accounts to wipe out losses from the last financial year. You couldn't make it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still supporting a club wrapped up in secrets and mystery.... You'll never get bored being a Wednesdayite.... It was more fun in the 70s. Expectations were lower, so the efforts of those less gifted were truly appreciated. I thought Brian Hornsby was good enough for England, Roger Wilde would head in every cross and Mark Smith was the next Bobby Moore. John Lowey though.

Like many, I gave him the benefit of the doubt however, he's been naive at best and incompetent on so many fronts that it's impossible to back him any longer. For every step forward, we take several back. The best we can hope for is an amicable separation. Post of the day. Let's hope he follows up on his promise to sell the club when he felt he wasn't wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wednesday Way: A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma The only way out of this for Mr C is for him to find someone who wants to buy Hillsborough off him for £70m, and at that point he's entirely vindicated. I wonder if Mandaric has made that call yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The interesting question is, would it be a bad thing if he is banned from football ? It would force him to get someone more capable in to run the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 They are seriously against us the efl. I mean come on we've had d taxis coming soon for about 4 years and no one's come sniffing.

If you are not familiar with the threads over the last few days,could i suggest to you,that I KNOW exactly who has and hasn't veered towards "litigious" allegations as do others on here,christ,there was even a whole thread deleted because of it and even today there were posts removed from this thread because of it. Howson's got more sense than to over step the mark via the printed word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
