No, the biggest problem is that Chansiri decided to flog the stadium via the medium of time travel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the club plan for the future with this hanging over them. Get it done. Get it sorted so that rebuilding the squad can go ahead in the clear knowledge of where we stand. I don’t see players like Bannan, Reach, Iorfa etc playing for a Wednesday team in League 1 So the sooner it’s sorted the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkstar Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Bottom line here is we gambled and lost. Now we have to pay the price for that loss. It just remains to be seen what the price will be. Whatever it is I'll just be glad to get it over with. It'll give us the opportunity to reset no matter which division were in. The sooner this is all done the better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, with the Club as it is and football finances the way they are, you need someone with very, very deep pockets to run a vanity project. We need to get this season/charge out of the way, stay in Championship, stabilise the finances, rebuild the playing squad before we worry about trying to find a mug with £200m plus in his back pocket to buy/bankroll us. Have to say I was considering this as another side hobby, but thanks to your little outburst - I'm out! No one calls me a mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York_Owl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 10 hours ago, Blue and white said: Sorry fella but how have they got it for us, did they ask Chansiri to spaff millions down theshitter and making an amateurish attempt at breaking even. If we get anything it will be the doing of 2 people, the same 2 people who are running this club like Billy Smarts Circus. I'm not saying they've got it in for us in particular (I probably just worded it badly) but they're coming accross as an organisation that are seem full of their own self importance and a woe betide anyone who dares to fall foul of their rules type of attitude. I also think the new guy (iRick Parry) wants to make a name for himself as being a strong leader that is making a difference (no doubt Steve Gibson has got in his ear too). I can just see them all wanting to make an example of us and send out a clear message that they are not to be messed with. Then after they have dished out the punishment pat each other on the backs for a job well done even though it may well have completely screwed up one of their clubs and showed absolutely no regard for the supporters of that club (us). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It’s okay people saying let’s get this out of the way and have a fresh start but the fact is we will still have DC in charge, the man that has got us in to this situation. If we end up in league one next season it will be an absolute disaster for this club. People like Bannan, Iorfa maybe even promising youngsters like Hunt going, any of our better players would be off and we will end up with crap like Pelupessy playing week after week. The fact we are even in this position is an embarrassment to our club, all thanks to DC and his merry men. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say, well its unfair and they did it. Which then makes us look, like spolit children. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Typical of Wednesday to decide to dabble in a bit of creative accounting at a time the EFL finally decide to crack down on it. We then take legal action which delays things right into the middle of a flipping pandemic, where the clubs had zero income for 3 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if we were proved innocent then it also gets the likes of Barnsley off their backs..... Funny how we have agreed to start today, rather than wait until July. Both parties may know we have a good case so just want to get it over with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
