Popular Post 33 Posted May 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2021 Since play-off final when we had a team to inspire, only Bannan and Hutch remain along with Palmer from that squad? Of those that have left since then, there has been nobody better recruited and anybody potentially half decent has been injury prone. Must be getting closer to the £200M mark now for DC. Ground sold and struggling as a going concern. Hopefully clearing the decks gives a basis to start moving forward, but crikey... the life of a Wednesdayite. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) For the sake of 4 decent expensive signings, in positions that were obvious to everyone, after that defeat ...thrown huge amounts of cash down the toilet and now in L1.

flo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Opposite of sobering. Makes me want to drink to drown the sorrows of this club. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilianenko Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We should have cleared the whole lot out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I think we're on last chance saloon here. The reset button has firmly been pressed and could be pressed even further if Windass, Patterson and Urhoghide leave as ir leaves us with next to nothing. The great and glorious one has to let Moore do his job and commence a rebuild. I'm not 100% convinced with Moore, YET, but we could make an even bigger mistake if we sack him with a job half done. We as fans need to be patient here and not expect to p1ss the league just because we will effectively have a new team. It could well take a couple of windows, even more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This next season can be our bottom, and will be if DC puts a proper back-room structure in place and we recruit pragmatically without external influence.

Rev Owl Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I'm not saying £200 million is wrong, but £180-200 million is bandied around. Is that a reasonable estimate. That would reflect losses every season that DC has been here of about £25-30 million. Is that right? I can believe it, but is that a good guesstimate?

Full disclosure, I have a massive headache, have done absolutely no fact-checking to make sure I'm not wildly wrong, and have given it very little thought... I'm sure my drug-addled brain has misremebered something, but off the top of my head... yeah, sounds about right doesn't it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a couple of seasons. I could see it taking 12 months. All we have to do is not get relegated, and then I think we would see us u-turn with the right people in place. It's idealic optimism I know, but that can be the future Sheffield Wednesday have. DC just has to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_D Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The stadium is owned by a company DC owns isn't it. Ok, he's took out a loan for a portion of the cost but as long as he keeps the payments up, what's the problem here? If someone was to buy the club without the ground being included in the price then that someone would be foolish. I can understand the doom and gloom about the playing side but not about this accounting fudge that DC seems to have done, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 So just Palmer, Bannan & Hutch to go, before we can get back to the Prem Project CLEAR AAHHHHT tho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 You think of the money simply wasted on tat....When a minimal amount spent on one proper Director of football, who knew the system could have saved the team, the ground, the points deduction and the spiralling into the lower leagues again.... So Bloody annoying! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, but he has shown many positives. The key point is, as it is a rebuild, we have to have some patience. It’s virtually impossible in this day and age, but that is how great teams are built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
