Agreed. We will bounce back I’m sure and I don’t even mind it too much in some ways. Would have been better to just not be so crap as to have to do it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a major factor in him being here long term, remember he owns it. Unless he defaults on the repayment. Which would then cause major problems.

We bounced back to a position to fail again. A dead cat bounce. We need a plan, not a bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve enjoyed the league one seasons in the past, the 2004/05 and 2011/12 seasons are two of the best I’ve had watching Wednesday. But this time it feels a lot different 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Looks obvious we're going down. Thanks to DC's running of the club, without the embargoes, stadium ******** up and points deduction we'd be out of the bottom 3. I feared weeks ago, that not appointing Thompson or someone else would backfire, as soon as we lost a couple on the bounce the positivity of our mini run would be eroded. If we go down it's all because of DC and his chums. I now fear that this time we could struggle in the third tier and could for the first time in our history end up in the bottom tier. How things have changed so drastically from the Wembley season, I'll never know but everything as been a shambles and a disaster ever since Wembley. We all kept hoping year on year that DC would see sense, wake up and start being more sensible but it's not happening. Unless DC sells up, we're facing the darkest period in our clubs long history and the possibility of remaining in the lower leagues for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrumBlue Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If it makes you all feel better, at least your stadium isn't falling apart like ours is. Plus just think of the epic clashes we can both have in league two. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We are going to finish bottom this season. I can just feel the wind changing. Too many players out of contract, who probably feel bitter about the pay issues. I honestly fear we could be looking at FC Wednesday playing in lower reaches of the football leagues soon.

Jack of Clubs Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Since Carlos left we’ve been signing League One standard players anyway (barring Iorfa) so this was inevitable. You can’t have your cake and eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck in the wilderness for years, worse and worse crowds and squads deteriorating in quality, with hardly any names recogniseable to the majority of fans and lower league journeymen to boot. They will always be challenging though, we won't ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, at least we managed to avoid a points deduction as a result of the ground sale!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
