BREAKING - CHANSIRI STATEMENT

[@owlstalk]

As your owner and chairman, I take full responsibility for everything that happens at our club. I am the leader and in good times or bad, the responsibility for Sheffield Wednesday lies with me. I am sorry to you all that we have been relegated.

This was never what I anticipated when I came to Hillsborough in 2015, my vision was to take Wednesday into the Premier League. We came so close in 2016 and then again in 2017 and since then the times have not been so good at all.

 

In football, in sport, there are highs and there are lows and right now, this is the lowest I have felt and I know you will be feeling the same. There are no guarantees in football, we have tried our best but our best was not good enough. We must now face the reality of what lies ahead and for next season at least, that is League One.

 

We must pick ourselves up from the floor and move forward in a positive way. We have had plans for both scenarios and now our immediate future is clear, we can start to put those plans into place.

 

I can pledge that as chairman, I will give everything I can and offer as much support as possible to everyone as we try and achieve promotion at the first attempt. There are issues we must address in the short and long term and some things will not happen overnight.

 

Darren Moore will be the manager for sure and the moment I mention Darren’s name, I must wish him all the very best as he continues his recovery from illness. Health must come before anything else, as this past year has taught us more than ever.

I would like to say thank you to the coaching staff who stepped up in Darren’s absence and also to everyone who has worked so hard during what has become one of if not the most challenging season in the history of Sheffield Wednesday.

 

It has ended in the worst possible way but we have to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. We will rebuild on the pitch, and off it, the day when fans return cannot come soon enough. I say thank you to our fans, it has been soulless without having you following the team home and away and I know all clubs say the same but we have missed your support so much.

 

Like all of you, I hope that life can return to normal soon and in football, that will mean having our fans back into Hillsborough and following the team around the country in the numbers that you do.

 

You do not deserve this end to a season that in so many ways we will want to forget but in others we can look back on in time as a turning point for the revival of our club.

"There are issues we must address in the short and long term "

 

Yep

Short term you need to leave

Long term we need to rebuild and repair the damage after the hurt mess you've caused

[Manwë]

So relegation was just the start of the revival.

 

He's the best.

[Tracksuit]

Please sell us.

Well written statement

 

There are plans for both scenarios

 

Moore to be kept on

 

Admitting there are issues to be corrected and we need to use this as a turning point.

[FreshOwl]

Have you paid the players yet? 

[Kopparberg]

Here we go guys 

 

Get your typing fingers ready 

[owls maniac]

Who would trust the bloke who has caused so much damage to oversee the rebuild? 
 

Either he announces he is stepping back and putting a proper team in place or he needs to ******** do one

I wonder who he got to write that up? 

[SiJ]

Bodes well

[Mr. Tom]

 

 

In fairness that contains a lot of what I would've hoped to hear.

 

Now to see whether it's utter ballsack or not.

In terms of a written statement, you can't ask for much more. Time will tell if the actions match this.
