If people don’t like how it’s been run or what’s been served up on the pitch, which is pretty much everybody at this point, all they can do is not go anymore until such a time they don’t feel that way. That’s what I’ll be doing.. but I’m not going to get on the mans case because it’s counter productive. Just don’t go and don’t moan about it.. negativity is bad for your health so have to let it go. Had enough of your crap now. That's you on the list You'd have been on it the other day if I could have found my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans have different breaking points...Give 'em time..and FFS! remember the Owls fan that sits next to you...might disagree with you..but He's an Owls fan...that makes you the f.ookn' same! Breaking points really ? Doomed to relegation for the 3rd time since 2003 , that takes some doing that for a so called big club. 21 years out of the top division longest in the club's existence , longest run before was 1970- 1984 (14 years ) . Not won a major trophy since 1991. Last won the fa cup in 1935. Last time we were champions of England 1930. If that's acceptable to any Wednesday fan they want to go and have a word with themselves , seriously 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression lots of people will continue to do that irrespective of how bad it gets because they’re too addicted to following us or too loyal or whatever. But sometimes have to be cruel to be kind.. if attendances drop right down to 10k or lower when we’re allowed back in, if he’s still here it will either make it even less attractive financially for him and make him more likely to sell, or he will start listening to what people want, main things being more affordable ticket prices, a U.K. based CEO with football experience running the club and sever ties with the advisors who have led us to where we are. Either that or help facilitate the arrangement of a replacement buyer which might tempt him in to selling. But we can only control what we can control, no point getting annoyed about things that are outside our control like whether or not he chooses to sell us.

pazowl55 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The best thing Chansiri can do in the immediate future is to hire us a manager, because Thompson isn't going to keep us up and the players need a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about what is acceptable to the average fan before they actually think things aren't very good again after 4 seasons of mediocrity ?

Yes I'm sure he will definitely do that. He had a full January, plenty of candidates, plenty of chance to sell the club and vision to someone and even to maybe back them with a signing. Instead he decided to put the final nail in his own coffin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's acceptable to any Wednesday fan they want to go and have a word with themselves , seriously Since 1992 and the introduction of the Prem though it’s now almost impossible to win things if you’re not big 6. The league has been won by only Blackburn and Leicester outside the big 6 in the last 28 years. The FA Cup only by Everton, Portsmouth and Wigan. So they aren’t really barometers of failure because most clubs haven’t won anything. It’s just not very possible.. the Leicester win in 2016 was a once in a generation type event which has helped cement them amongst the big teams but it’s not really something we can aim for. The league positioning is more disappointing but we’ve wasted a lot of the last 20 years.. 2000-2010 we had too much debt, fragmented ownership and not enough cash to compete. That changed under Manderic then DC but now he’s run out of cash it’s gone sharply in to reverse. We need investment badly but there’s no point unless we put the infrastructure in place or we’ll just repeat 2015-17 again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the football is it?..or not JUST the football. Its got sod all to do with what any other club has won in the last who gives a flyer amount of years...You put yer Owls scarf on as a kid...and its yoked to you for the rest of your life .
