A Chairman showing some AMBITION for Swfc is 'deffo not right'. I yearn for those steady flat lining days of the late 90s & beyond before DC arrived. Or the steady down lining days of the late 60s to the late 80s. Things were 'deffo' right in those halcyon days. No issue with SAG & Leppings Lane exit though, when we were cramming 8000 in!!

TINGLE75 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Why is everything internal? Making up random company names and giving shares to your wife. It just looks dodgy. No outside revenue such as sponsorship or kits. Yeah I know it's nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I remember all that "progress". I used to wake up every morning jumping up & down at the progress every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using the Allen years as some kind of benchmark then your standards will never rise above moribund. Looking forward to the 2018/19 accounts being released, they will put anything from the previous 20 years to shame in terms of total ineptitude and dereliction.

Not sure why you refer to the "Allen years"???? I'm talking about from when they dissolved from Runners up in 61, to just about every year (with the odd exception) since. If you think the Allen years are the only 'non progress' years, you must have followed a different club to me. Even allowing for DC trying to make the best of his mistakes. I would rather be where we are now than some of the flat lining nothingness of some of the years gone by. This time next year we could be in the Prem or lower half of Championship. At least there is a CHANCE of being there. In the past it was mainly making the numbers up. Maybe some people would class that as 'progress'. Others may see 'progress' as taking no risks, finishing 17th one season, 16th the next & 15th the year after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our absolute, unwavering devotion to being 100% 'legal' possibly does us credit and is commendable as long as everyone else works to the same ethics. Do they? Do they f**k. The top clubs have bent the rules & got away with it for years, pushing the boundaries, stealing academy players, tapping up contracted players, bungs, bullying officials. We've done a bit of 'creative accounting' to get us out of a hole (granted, some of it self created) but nothing that other clubs haven't attempted or done similar things. Wolves completely cheated & weren't legal in EFL terms & are laughing all the way to the bank. Like I said at the outset, a commendable notion as long as it doesn't hamper us in comparison to others who maybe get away with similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
