MrEdwards Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 As any Wednesday fan knows, supporting a football club isn't all about champagne popping and winning titles. Its about being proud to be a Wednesday it no matter how poo the club is. If you desperately need to support a club challenging for cups and titles, I'd recommend switching to Barcelona or Man City. Even if we did merge, the clubs would need massive investment to get near the top of the prem, and to be honest half the fan base would say goodbye and start following their most local team or a reformed Wednesday in the Vanarama or whatever the bottom division is now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 While I disagree with a merger, both clubs should bin off there respective homes and ground share in a better purpose built super stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Here’s a depressing thought Why the hell would United want to merge with with a disastrous car crash of a club like Wednesday? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83owl Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Why would they want to merge with us? We have absolutely nothing to offer which would improve them as a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for me it's looking like Leeds are going to be the only viable option for any Yorkshire Team to challenge for the premiership, europe and domestic cups.. Unfortunately, that’s been the case for the last 50+ years. Even worse that the gap between them and both Sheffield clubs is only going to get bigger.

striker Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Give over. I have no desire to have anything to do with that lot, nor do I envy them. Their purpose is to provide friendly rivalry, take that away and football moves ever closer to being a sterile waste of time, brands playing other brands for the sake of corporate sponsors and TV viewers in Asia, not the people in the community where they are based. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merge no. Share a state of the art self sufficient stadium, yes. If we both agreed to build a stadium which virtually paid for itself and could be used as a venue for other events ,it would save both clubs in the long run. Especially us with the supposed £5m a year that is cost us to keep Hillsborough up and running. Although i'm not sure where the money to build it would come from.

Jim Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I personally think if we were on the brink of extinction then there would be more communication coming from the club and perhaps the local media would be highlighting the possibility even more than they currently are? The three issues that are currently causing anxiety amongst the fan base are 1) Players not being paid. 2) The continuing wait for ST refunds. 3) The current transfer embargo caused by the failure to submit the latest accounts. Granted 3 issues that would cause concern but my take is that the reasons for each issue are 1) Lack of matchday income caused by the pandemic plus an inability from the Chairman to get subsequent funds out of Thailand at the moment? 2) see 1) 3) The late submission of accounts has been common place under this regime. I’m sure others will be along in a minute to disagree and suggest other reasons such as the Chairman is potless and of course this could be true? I think the current silence will continue and the first time we’ll hear from the club will more than likely be an in house interview with the manager during the first week of pre-season. There would be no point him doing an interview with the local media as his time would be filled dealing with questions about the financial issues currently enveloping the club which in all fairness it’s not his place to answer those questions even if he could which he probably can’t? The make up of the squad on that first day of pre-season training will probably tell us a lot as if there are no new faces present even on trial then that would cause concern on here and perhaps understandably so? My prediction is the Chairman is probably trying to move the club on and is not making a public show of this. Mandaric never did when he tried to sell the club and I don’t think the current owner will? I’m sure the man with the Tragic Torch will be along in a minute amongst others to say that’s a load of b*ll*cks and it may well be? I just feel if we were about to go pop the cat would be out of the bag now but all we can do is wait and see what happens? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
