Equally depressing for me is that none of our best players have been as young and talented as the ones mentioned above - which is why Birmingham achieved such a healthy return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffed Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 4 minutes ago, ChinaOwl said: Sorry, I may have misunderstood because I haven't seen the article. Was it a general article about COVID-19 that did not really have anything to do with football? Or did it more specifically relate to some aspect of Sheffield Wednesday? Nothing to do with football at all from what I remember. They didn’t do the same when the number of deaths matched the capacity of the Arena, The Ronseal Rotherham Stadium, the former Don Valley Stadium or The Lane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done well at this level for us, but our managers never stick with him in the same place. He's always sacrificed for the team, and then crucified for it. Those goals at Aston Villa and against Leeds were not flukes. We should be starting him up front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I fear it's at either end of the scale. Either we have been found not guilty and they are appealing OR they have given us a ridiculously high points deduction and we are appealing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pessimism in me maybe but contrary to what some believe the EFL do not have it in for us or Derby. We are just 2 of the bigger clubs in their league structure. They only put a case against us if we have broken thd rules and their is evidemce to suggest that. I have liitle doubt we're in the wrong. It's how much and what mitigation is there in what we believed we had permission to do. As previous I just hope any sanctions against us are next season now. I think they have every right to question what we did, how and when. Got to remember behind the scenes in all this is various deadlines where provisional information is sent, then final figures for the year prior to separate reporting by auditors. So if we sent "final" figures for 2018 by 1st December 2018 - the first deadline in all this and that did not include any reference to a stadium sale then It is all conjecture, outside the Club, the EFL and possibly some advisors no one actually knows what was sent and when. Like I have no idea what information is available that justified the stadium sale I have my views on all this, but it is impossible to judge really without that evidence.

Guest Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 33 minutes ago, ChinaOwl said: To be fair, that doesn't sound like a slur aimed at Sheffield Wednesday. It is common media practice to compare numbers with sports' stadia capacities because it is something that people can relate to. Typical example: "To put that in perspective, the number of people affected could fill Wembley Stadium twice" I see that kind of thing loads of times. As a small line to put something into perspective maybe. The Star ran it as a major news story headline with a picture of the ground on the front page of the website, a ground that some will always relate to a tragic incident. Also this was at a time when the virus was seriously impacting the entire country and causing worry for many. It was a little ill-judged and insensitive I feel.

Apparently they did though it wasn't such a big article with Rotherham & Ut'd grounds perhaps because the number of deaths were lower?! Amazingly when some people on twitter questioned the Star about the article posting links to these previous articles was their response to try and justify it rather than admitting that they may have been a tad insensitive.

My response was merely based on the fact that IF we are found guilty dont beat around the bush because it will relegate us just punish it and make it hurt the chairman for his mistakes, I was replying to somebody's comment on the basis that IF we are found guilty...

He couldn't get in the side Season 15/16, prior to promotion of 16/17, he had been loaned out for every Season prior to promotion, and when they did get promoted they got rid.
