Popular Post Blue and white 12,244 Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 We really need to act and and act now as a collective fan base. I urge every Sheffield Wednesday fan to withdraw there financial support for the club until the current owner sells up and leaves. The shame he has brought to this club through stupidity, ineptitude and sheer arrogance will live long in the football community. Some will point out how do we withdraw our financial support if we can't attend games, I say don't subscribe to Ifollow, don't buy merchandise, don't even buy a fecking 2 pence chew of its conected to Chansiri, hell I've even started boycotting John West products. Please don't kill your club by blindly backing our owner, stand tall grow a pair and make it clear this is our club, it was here before he was even a good idea in his dad mind and it will be hundreds of ears after we have all departed this earth. God bless. 18 1 1 30 Link to post Share on other sites

Herb 652 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Let’s be honest, it’ll never happen but when you throw the incompetence of DC into the mix with some post covid financial caution, changes in habits and a disinterest in our dour football it wouldn’t be a shock to see a big drop off in attendances when we can eventually return. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Brommers 2,510 Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 Careful what you wish for. He's the one currently keeping the club afloat. Withdrawal of the minimal funding you suggest and he may think xxxx it. And the club you say that will be there hundreds of years after DC may disappear pretty quickly. 26 1 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want Cook as a manger, I've said all along he is a 3rd rate manager and we should be aiming for better, sadly better managers wont come near the club for our fruit loop of an owner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post toppOwl 1,831 Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 The OP seems to be getting pelters for this, not sure why as DC will kill the club if he continues as he is and there's no sign of him learning any lessons. 13 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Where does it stop, how can you have an idiot running every aspect of the club who by his own admission knows nothing about football. Pulis did an awful job, failed to improve on the poor record of Monk with the same resources that an academy coach has managed to get a decent tune from. Danny Cowley took the Huddersfield job as he felt a synergy with the owners long-term vision - months later Cowley was gone as the owners and the manager didn't see eye to eye. Paul Cook was my choice but I suspect he has spoke out in this way as he won't be getting the job. If he really feels a manager has no chance of working well with us then why not outline what exactly the issues are, what has he got to lose in that respect? What decisions does he feel he should be able to make that would be taken by someone else? I am not enjoying the direction the club has gone in over the last 3 years but I won't be withdrawing my money on this basis. We already have expenses way beyond turnover so not sure what significant difference it would make. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Why doesn't it stand up. It's not out of the question that numerous clubs outside the Premier league could go bust. No fan income must be a huge loss to clubs, our owner has invested heavily but may think is it worth putting more in when more and more of the fanbase are turning against him. I know I'd think twice in his position. And no I'm not blind to the fact he's made a absolute pigs ear of running our club. 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The fans are turning against him through his own actions though, he just isn't learning that he cannot run a football club with zero knowledge of the game, the money he's had at his disposal spent wisely would have seen us in the Prem by now. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree, the past 4/5 windows show a vast change in approach. The fact we’ve stopped paying ridiculous fees and wages shows he has learnt. Whether it’s too little too late is something else but the same mistakes we/he was making are no longer. It’s just we are still paying the price of those initial mistakes. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Not just fans, it's people in football ex players pundits and even other chairmen, and yet some of our fans can turn round and say we aren't happy with it but we will continue to back it.
