Who ever finishes in the bottom 3 will appeal relegation as we would potentially go down in their place. For me the easiest way is to say we found a loop hole, someone at the EFL drop the ball on this, the Owls are hit with a suspended penalty that if we break the losses rule for the next 3 season we will be hit with an automatic points loss of x points and hopefully everyone goes away happy. That is of course until our next accounts are published and the brown stuff hits the fan again. Very good point about the next accounts. Did I read a while ago we have delayed handing them in? Let’s prey they are all above board and they get signed off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I suspect DC has a little get out of jail free card somewhere. One email or letter where the EFL guidance is sufficiently ambiguous or unclear for us to conclude we were OK doing what we did. If I were him I would do this Perry Mason style - let the whole thing run its course, and just before the summing up and the guilty verdict, stand up and say 'Sirs,a last minute intervention. I call witness for the defence Mr Steve Gibson to the stand' 'Mr Gibson, I hand you exhibit A. Please, Mr Gibson, could you read exhibit A , a letter from the EFL to Sheffield Wednesday approving this transaction as allowable and within the rules.' Thank you Mr Gibson. Enjoy League 1.' 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumboldowl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 A lot of us are retired (like me) and many more of us are furloughed because of the virus, and have nothing better to do. If we knew where the hearing is being held we could travel down in an unruly manner and demonstrate, pull some statues down, etc, and wave WAWAW banners. Do you think it might help ? If not, we could all sit down outside and take off our shoes. If that didn't do the trick then we are doomed...........................................doomed I tell you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafterowl Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I am really enjoying this thread, so many plots and sub plots. Probably one of the greatest works of fiction ever written, must be worth at least a Booker Prize. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no clue where we are up to with this, but that won’t stop me offering views. I do worry about Mr C though. I’m sure that nobody has explained to him that “We’re Sheffield Wednesday, we’ll do what we want” has no legal grounds for support. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want Brentford use the Bristol City model, the Preston North End model both teams who produce good youth or buy lower league players improve them and sell on for more. Quite. Ignoring any other clubs model and just looking at our transfer record over the last 20+ years tells you everything you need to know. Dire.

In DC case there is no dispute of his intent or the date which that intent was to come into play. There can be no contention because the spoken contract was between two companies wholly owned by DC. ( That date was a best fit to improve the status of SWFC) Whatever a scribe may have written consequently is of no consequence and makes no sense in terms of DC improving the fortunes of his club. apart from the company owned by DC wasnt actually in existence at the time the sale was proposed to have happened..
