Popular Post j-savas Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2020 Because without football directors, a comprehensive coaching team, comprehensive scouting networks, up to date training infrastructure, a thriving commercial set up and youth team with players loaned out accordingly, a good analytics team etc we are basically a second rate club that's stuck in the 20th century. The opposite to the Brenfords of this world if you like. 20 years of systemic failings at wednesday with no long term strategic planning, and all a lot of us can do us blame one isolated head coach after another. We as a club need a LONG Term comprehensive, coherent strategic plan going forward in the summer that needs to be presented to the fan base. My incling though is that we will continue to lerch from one random manager to the next and sign over 25 ex stars such as Whickham to try and paper over the cracks... 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps your right, it maybe too much to ask for. Any kind of plan then, even if they don't make it known. Football clubs are community assets though, so I was thinking it wouldn't be too much to ask for! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we as a fan base demand more of this or football been as it is is this too much to expect with the match to match emotional aspect of it all? I've heard rumours that chansiri does micro-manage, this seems incompatible with a modern football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread should be pinned...nail on head and as soon as our fan base wakes up to this the better. We cannot continue to be ran without any strategy and keep lurching from one disaster to the next.. We as a a fan base are just far too forgiving and accepting any modicum of success, is this due to the last 20 years being so dreadful....probably...do we have to accept it and roll over.....definitely not! We we need to put pressure in the ownership now before it’s far too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Anlaby owl that a good manager is important. However a good manager is has not and will not be enough with the systemic problems and shortcomings that sheffield wednesday as a football club have had and continue to have. I addition, though still very important of course, a manager's overall role and influence in the complexity and multi facated nature of modern football clubs has, to an extent, become less important.

NYCOWL Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Best post in a long long time. Im tired of saying it, successfull organisations are well run from to bottom. We haven’t been well run since... Well I don’t remember when we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) At this point I feel like our ‘good name’ is keeping the our heads above water. We really are a shambles of a football club from top to bottom but the traditional famous name of Sheffield Wednesday does help mask that. And our stadium size and historically good support is just about attractive enough still for players to give us a second look when deciding what clubs to sign for. A lot of people were up in arms about the idea that Chansiri was going to treat us too much like a traditional business , and therefore supporters as ‘customers’. But right now I’d be over the moon if we resembled a well run business. But we don’t. We’re fortunate that the league this year is rubbish and that our players are of a ‘better technical quality’ as individuals that it’s gonna keep us safely mid-table. But we’re not a team. We’re nowhere close to a team. Edited February 8, 2020 by FlyingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford are a relatively small club that have slowly and carefully progressed with some very intelligent strategies. It's all cumulated in a club punching above its weight, making huge profits on transfers and now moving into an excellent new stadium next season. Its a club that I'm sure most people would envy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think for club size of Brentford playing attractive football in top half of Championship and having a sound infrastructure is a notable success. If we can get a club size of Wednesday as well run on and off the pitch we would be a respectable Premier League side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed, but they're also a club that will always sell it's better players and therefore never progress further than they are at the moment.
