jonnyowl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Going on an amazing run and overhauling our most hated rivals. If we are in league one next season I hope we can do something similar, just have to beat Doncaster to promotion this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every result i needed was coming through to fulltime and I was just driving down to the bookies (bet was done on a slip) with a right smile on my face thinking what I was going to spend my winnings on, next minute a score announcement on radio states that Jimmy Ryan had just scored a 94th minute equaliser for Scunthorpe at Walsall. No £960 winnings and I have hated Scunthorpe and Jimmy Ryan ever since. Funnily enough, Keiron Agard scored a goal once that got me £11k on a bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbirks Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Whether we like it or not, the bl*nts are doing so well because they - eventually - made a cracking job of building from L1. If we could do something even remotely similar by using the opportunity to get some hungry players that want to play for the club and trusting that we can build them, I'd happily go round all those bloody grounds again.

Geedee Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 My dream is to see Wednesday in a refurbished Hillsborough competing again in the top flight of English football Anything that takes us further away from that dream is unwanted. For this club to be out of the top flight for more than 20 years is humiliating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Owl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Remember going to a match in that division (it was called Division 3 in those days). We played a certain Sheffield United and had rather a good time along with 49,000 others. Also remember being in that division and playing a certain Arsenal in the FA Cup. Went to 4 of the 5 matches. Not all doom and gloom in the lower reaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats because they had (and still have) a manager who knows what he is doing. We have currently got Gary Monk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Would be embarrassing a club Wednesday's size to have a 3rd spell at that level in a little over 15 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sir will have to disagree with you on that. His track record in management is average at very best. Serial underachievers dont suddenly become miracle workers overnight.

We thought that last time and struggled, we'd struggle to attract decent players. No way do I want SWFC to endure anything lower than Championship level. Me neither mate, and I wouldn’t think any Wednesday fan would want to see us relegated to League One. We do though stand a good chance of that happening to us. Long, long winless run, threadbare squad, and the threat of a points deduction hanging over us. My point was, we’ve given ourselves a massive rebuilding job, that we will have to do on a significantly reduced budget, and in what will probably be a dramatically shortened closed season. Nothing that has happened in recent times, suggest to me that this would be doable. Not at this level anyway. If we drop a level though, yes our budget will be further reduced, but it will still be one of the biggest in the division. If we are shopping for League One and Two players, as some suggest we should be, then we would still be an attractive proposition for those players. That coupled with our existing players generally being a cut above that available to most at that level, should in theory make the rebuild a lot easier. Consequently, we should then take the opportunity to bring in a young manager who can not only rebuild, but can create a footballing philosophy going forwards We need a new identity Edited June 25, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeovil was a good away run as well. It would not be the end of the world if we did end up relegated. Gives us a chance to regroup and build up for the future on solid foundations.

owls maniac Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 To get relegated to that league for the third time in 20 years would be an absolute ******** embarrassment for a club our size. Anyone entertaining the idea or seeing it as a way to 'clear the decks' wants to give their head a wobble. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best we can hope for is that we cling on to our championship status and get lucky until he sells us on. Long term strategy is not in Mr C's vocab.
