It’s highly unlikely anyone would come in to buy a business with no income, that doesn’t own its stadium but is contracted to pay huge sums in wages to the playing staff. Chansiri could easily choose to withdraw financial support, and put the club into administration. A further points deduction would follow with administrators selling off the playing staff to satisfy creditors as per Wigan. What you are suggesting is a form of anarchy whereby you destroy the existing structure in the forlorn hope that something better might miraculously resurrect itself from the chaos. Time to realise the situation that football outside the Premier League is in an extremely fragile position. Let’s not try kill it off altogether. Existing structure? Am I missing something?

Only those PL Clubs which are a 'brand' as well as a Football club really make the mega bucks...SWFC would attract offers in my view for the reasons I have stipulated.

I have no idea,.....but it would be uneccessary,he will bring in an investor if he wants,what better time is there to buy? pandemic,Club in danger of relegation,etc etc Could buy it at a massive discount,and use the money saved in the purchase to invest in players..... If PL status was achieved you would get your money back & more besides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investors don't wait for a club to be put "up for sale", clubs are always up for sale, they offer a price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a Championship Club though arnt we mate? only one step down from the pl? thats the difference, it could potentially be done in one season......Same applys to maybe half a dozen Championship Clubs,,,,ie Wolves did it....

That's how business is done someone wants something and offers a price and the owner either eventually accepts or declines the offer outright. Some Investors will wait for an opportune time to make an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOWL Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Being a Sheffield Wednesday fanatic is a privilege and is in our DNA. We were born to be Wednesdayites and we will always be Wednesdayites whoever the suits in the Boardroom are for however long they are there. We are the Mighty Wednesday,the first thought we have in the morning and the last at night. We arrange weddings, birthdays ,holidays and other inconvenient events around the fixture list. We take our children as soon as we can and we wax lyrically to anyone that will listen about the times we have had. I resent the way the present Chairman/Owner is,in my opinion, destroying and dismantling our heritage and I don't want him here , but I will not allow him to take our Club away from me. Keep the faith with the Mighty Wednesday because that is all that matters. Rant over,just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonowl Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 As I get older, it gets harder to convince myself that blindly following a company with so little regard for its customers because of some form of tribalism is all it's made out to be. Honestly, you start to wonder if you really care what happens any more, it's not my football club any more, its Chansiris business and what do I care if his business fails or not, it's not like he's ever done anything for me. I do however understand that its different when you are local. I live in London, the club is not part of my community and as we only.go a few times a year, it's not a way of life for me. There is no other aspect of my life where I would use a company with so little regard for its customers and increasingly, SWFC is becoming another business that has no right to my money. If you buy something online and send it back then 6 months later are still trying to get your money back, you would never ever use them again yet some still excuse the club for taking so long to do the ST refunds. The longer this approach goes on, the more people are going to have my opinion and if DC doesn't recognise this, I can't see how he will ever build and maintain his much talked about 'Wednesday Family'.
