But I won’t financially support a chairman who’s said repeatedly that my money doesn’t matter and blames our supporters for the state we’re in, taking no responsibility. If he changes his attitude, brings in a director of football who actually knows how the game TRULY works at our level, and gives our fans a clear and structured 5-10 year plan (that isn’t just chucking money at it) then I’ll definitely reconsider. I don’t care if the 5-10 year plan involves taking some steps backwards in order to go forwards. I just want some structure and for Wednesday to regain their identity. Can’t see it happening though.

Not sure why as I'm pretty sure we don't need any outside influence to do that. If the club really is capable of being destabilised by social media, then we’ve got even more problems than those we all know and are concerned about ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wor’Jackie Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ruffled a few feathers here I reckon. I’m still behind the players and the staff on the ground, so there’s no flounce about it. The question itself implies a binary choice, so perhaps it’s been (rightly) taken as such. Hyperbolic? Yes. There are other measures and outcomes of course (new owner Chansiri finally sees sense) that would be more favourable, but it’s a hell of a long way back to recover from the mess we’re in. The club means a lot to me as it does to everybody here and I can’t stand seeing it being dragged through the dirt the way it is. It’s not my intent to say ‘I don’t want a club anymore’, it’s moreso an emotional reaction to an owner who has shown us a great deal of disrespect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travolski Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'll allways prefer wensday playing football rather than not, chansiri wont be the last chairman we have or proberbly the worst in the scheme of things, hes a stubborn div but recently green shoots about him changing some of his behaviour at least, I.e transfer policy/better wage structure/looking for dof and not panic appointing a coach when tomo is doing a madness, just gota see if he sticks with it or reverts back to bad habits, time will tell.

matthefish2002 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Saying no Wednesday is a step too far. Even if I call times up on going to games I would not want to take that away from people who still enjoy it. (Although they probably enjoy the social aspect of matches rather then the games themselves) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I’ve given up worrying too much about the clubs current situation and what the future may bring. I’m just going to watch the games, support the Team and the Manager and get as much enjoyment out of the doing so as I can. It seems that polarised views and very strong opinions are the way the world works now but I just don’t have the emotional depth for it. No doubt people with my kind of attitude are part of the problem and I should be taking action etc but I just don’t have the bandwidth for it. So the club will continue to get my money and I won’t be attempting to hound out the Chairman particularly. I’ll just snipe a bit at the sidelines and complain while facilitating. Sorry, but I just like watching the team and talking to my Dad about the games. Anyway, to all the people with far more motivation and energy than me ‘good luck’ and let me know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ridiculous. Wednesday will be here long after DCs reign. We have survived dark days in the 70s, the Allen era, we will comeback from the mess DC has made as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrifically poor recruitment of players and staff, constant cash flow problems, total disrespect shown to the supporters, and a childish refusal to accept responsibility for the damage he’s caused have sent the club past the point of no return. The name can always be re-used in some way for a Phoenix club if it comes to that, but that comes after the fall. No Wednesday is better than *this* Wednesday. Isnt this forum supposed to be for supporters.This is ,by no stretch of the imagination,a post by a supporter and you should remove yourself from Owlstalk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOWL Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The Club fold.....no Wednesday. I've not spent the best part of my lifetime through the highs and lows of the one thing that's more important than marriages, christenings and holidays etc to even think about it. We,the fans,are the lifeblood of Sheffield Wednesday and we care about our Sheffield Wednesday,that's what puts us apart from any Owner/Chairman that chooses to ignore that.
