Merge, no, but a new shared stadium and training facilities is something we should have done years ago. They are a PL/Championship yo-yo club where as we are a Championship/L1 yo-yo club, our squad is crap, infrastructure is crap, ground is a rust bucket, training ground is crap. There is absolutely nothing we do better than them. As far as sharing a stadium/training who would pay for it? We have been bled dry and are flat broke, any funds raised from selling hillsborough or the training ground would just go towards servicing our debt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 5 hours ago, Tollertonowl said: we then went onto spend ridiculous amounts on players who never played for us in the late 90's like donnelly, o'connell etc... I remember my dad saying back then his mate was a celtic fan (into scottish football) and they were sick notes so couldn't work it out... Also booth wasn't a Wednesday player either as he was literally a 1950's old school centre forward/ target man.... IMO we should've let TF have time to change the team rather than spend ridiculous amounts on crappy players who were obviously not up to standard or unlikely to play more than a few games, as they were know to be injured... Instead we just continually turned over players/ managers until we were eventually demoted with Di Canio being the biggest loss when he went to West Ham for 1/3 of the price we paid so our MD could get the Director of PL job for himself, which isn't what Man Utd would've done.... Further to that most clubs in the same situation just entered administration like West Ham etc.... However we just ploughed on paying the debt for another circa 15yrs and then did exactly the same again in 5-6yrs.... Sacked a good manager who had procured our back bone of a team for peanuts, put in some good players he could've with money, played well until our crappy new manager took over, took a risk for promotion, bottled it and then spiralled into the abyss through not being able to sell players/ replace.... don't be telling the TRUTH on here, it's not needed, or appreciated. we're MASSIVE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pughies Jockstrap Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Why on earth would Sheffield United want to be saddled with us. Why would any club want to be saddled with us. Its time some blue tinted spectacled people accepted that Sheffield Wednesday have a poor reputation throughout football which has been exacerbated by the deeds of the current owner turning poor into toxic. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 If it was that Prince bloke who owns the Blades I'd create a mysterious company fronted by someone who could go in and 'buy' Sheffield Wednesday, then systematically destroy them from within and then become the only club in the city Would be easy enough to do 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
