I don’t think raising funds to just throw into the black hole is the answer though sadly mate Id rather the fans buy him out, get rid and start to untangle the mess Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakefieldowl Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Where do i send my £1500? I desperately want to pay to the millionaire players, who have been paid late.

Harrysgame Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 2 hours ago, goldensmoke said: If what we are led to believe is true about the club’s current plight, then we must make a contingency as fans to stave off the folding of SWFC. We seem to be sleep walking, apathetically, to oblivion. We can’t attend games, we can’t come together as a crowd to protest or make our feelings known; we somehow don’t seem to have a vibrant collective will to do something, to take any action. It’s almost as though some of us are so fed up of and beaten by Wednesday and the characters who have played this thing out, that they can’t care anymore. When we see on Sky Sports News that Sheffield Wednesday are being wound up, will not start the League One season, imagine how that will feel. When Hillsborough starts being demolished for a new Supermarket to be built. It would be unbearable. if there is no income foreseeable to come in to solve the current problems, which it seems to be, the only answer is for us as fans to take the decision to stop the immediate existential threats to our club. We can’t buy the club. But we can raise money to stave off the threat of extinction. If enough people have the will and the means to create a fund big enough to alleviate the immediate and short term issues that are happening right now, we can stop these real threats that are here at this exact moment. If we owe circa £12m in wages etc alone then the assumption would be with other likely problems happening that maybe north of £25-30 Million might be needed in the short term. How does anyone raise this sort of capital? 10,000 supporters who can donate £1500 now is £15 Million 10000 supporters who will commit £250.00 per month for 6 months, £15 Million 10000 supporters who will commit £125.00 per month for 12 months £15 Million Another option where supporters can commit whatever they feel they can, however small and however often, to the fighting fund. £ Who knows how much? £3Million? Whats in it for those who donate? Knowing that you saved Sheffield Wednesday when it needed saving. It’s our club. Maybe only we can save it. If we as an organised movement continue to raise funds and continue providing a safeguard against existential threats, eventually funds could be put towards fan engagement and creating a much better fan experience when coming to watch Wednesday. I’m talking about fan parks or fan zones in the vicinity of the ground. Securing Hillsborough Park for a fanzone or securing it for Wednesday fans to have before and after match time. A bit like the tailgate parties at US sporting events. If the club won’t engage and give us what we want and need, we should create the match day. For now though the funds raised would be controlled and organised on the understanding that they specifically stave off threats to our club. The chairman does not spend it, its our donation for the good of the club. I know we are a working class city, I know people want season ticket refunds, but the club seems to have no money. When the club has gone would you pay £250.00 a month to bring going to the match at Sheffield Wednesday back? I would. If anyone wants to pick this up and run with it, I’ll be the first to donate. I applaud the sentiment, and would I give 1500 to ensure our survival then probably. Issue is would this keep on happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nile Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It’s obviously not the brightest idea but I’d never ridicule another fan for making a suggestion. a proper fans group needs setting up to to tackle this head on, get numbers signed up and led by someone or a group of people who have a presence within the club. or we could well be the generation that tells future generations we were the fans that just watch the club die a slow death and literally did nothing to prevent it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I admire the sentiment in the OP, but even if there were 10000 Wednesdayites with that sort of money, they'd want to be acquiring control of the club and not just bailing out Chansiri. There are only 2 ways that we get out of this without the club going kaput... 1. Chansiri somehow manages to pay off outstanding debts, steady the ship, finance the club in the short to medium term, lets Moore build a competitive squad for league 1 and we build back up with him taking the rearest of back seats. Or 2. He sells the club for a quid to anyone crazy enough to take it on and f**ks off. He's proved himself incapable of option 1 and would never consider the hit to his ego of choosing option 2... So by my reckoning we are completely and utterly screwed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Chansiri released a statement on the evening of our relegation. In the statement, he said there was a plan for this situation. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
