He has WASTED millions on players wages, transfer fees and probably agents fees, oh and paying off failed managers.

Indeed but to waste £200m in a little over 7 years to make the whole infrastructure of the club worse.

 

We have got to a point where if the team play for 90 minutes they are doing well.

 

Basics that should be at the ground are not there, like running hot water and kiosk that are proper stocked on match days, the megastore shop is like something from the 1990's, the training ground is where most of our players get injured not in matches, because it is not fit for purpose, the ground is crumbling, it has not been improved since the early 1990's for Euro96, the first team is half made up of other teams players and when ever we do get a youth player come through, we value them that little they leave for elsewhere.

 

other teams are struggling but I bet there is few in the state of apathy that we are in.

Redbull again perhaps. They've been sniffing around the club for a while but DC price was always too steep given stadium sale and him wanting to recoup almost all outlay so far.

 

Why Redbull/ Wednesday? Red Bull Owls, wings, etc. Significant catchment area, 4th biggest city, heritage of Sheffield in football terms, blah.

He'll only sell to Red Bull if they take Elev8 off him too 😂


 

 

heres a thought.  
 

Red Bull might be buying Elev8 if he throws the football club in as part of the deal

If DC / family have decided it's too much of a money pit and they are willing to take a significant write down then it may happen.

Do you have a source on Red Bull “sniffing around” Wednesday?

"Come on you Blue and White Red Bull Owls" is a bit of a mouthful and a tad confusing, tho'?

 

On a serious note, would there be more deserving causes for such a massive investment in the English League alone? Red Bull don't do it by halves so wouldn't they be looking at clubs already "established" in a higher league or a better potential to reach that status quicker than Wednesday... maybe the likes of Burnley, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Watford, Norwich, etc?

 

Given our experiences of investment versus FFP, it's not a foregone conclusion that anyone can buy out DC and make it a successful club in the Championship or PL.

I don’t know anything. Never been ITK probably never ever will be but one constant I’ve seen is Red Bull one way or another linked with us mainly through twitter/rumours etc. Whether there is any truth in these links/rumours, who knows? But perhaps the stories still doing the rounds now suggest they may have a genuine interest in us?

The megastore in the 1990s was pretty good though!

There hasn’t ever been anything substantial to suggest Red Bull are interested in buying us. It’s just people making up nonsense on Twitter
