g-owls Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Simon Jordan loves Wednesday. He’ll never admit it as such, but it’s a club that he’s drawn towards. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Well he would have to get in the queue behind all the others wanting to take us over, according to some on here. But hopefully he has connections and people may listen to him, so can only be a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Jordan is a great listen on the radio. Really knows his stuff and some of his phrases are brilliant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham Owl Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 2 hours ago, SHUowl said: Admittedly they did. But, it seems they learned repositioned and ultimately he left them in a better place. Someone with that kind of experience would be beneficial compared even with a random Billionaire with no clue what they're doing. I think with someone like Jordan, we'd end up a mid table balanced championship club. It's not exciting, it's probably more boring, but jeez I wouldn't mind a little boring for a while. How could he have left them in a better place. He left when the administrators moved in. They then went on and sold the best players for next to nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelerian Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We really need someone like him to rescue us from the mess that we are in. Be in short term like Milan Mandaric to sell us on at a profit, or long term by bringing a consirtium to the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to what he said, i would encourage all Wednesday fans to take 4 minutes to listen to this. If anything, this chat and his book coming out will be good publicity as the more people talking about Wednesday being a good team to buy, the better. 8 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Said he’s perplexed why we haven’t had success this last 25 years Completely agree with him. Every other big to mid sized club has had their slice of success in the last quarter of a century but we’ve had zilch. Despite all that and despite looking at yet another relegation to the pub league, we had over 28k In Hillsborough last night.

Lythamowl Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I’ve got a lot of time for Jordan, talks a lot of sense. Also when that scouse journalist wrongly tried to say Newcastle fans were in danger of being crushed on the lep, Jordan was the only one prepared to give the honest answer that it was a non story and the only fact it was getting coverage was because it was hillsborough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tragic what has happened to us, but in terms of our brand, history and support we are world class. Yep we are sleeping giant in my view and Simon Jordan's too who is a neutral. I know this debate has been done to death on here about how big a club we are, or could be. People often cite the attendances in the mid to late 90's being "only" 20-25K. i would argue a reason behind that was the drop in progression/quality/feel good factor from the early 90's team. Our average attendances in league 1 were similar if not more, compared to clubs like Leeds, Southampton, Leicester and Forest who have been at that level in recent years. Also football has come a long way in the past 25 years in terms of who wants to attend football matches. You only have to look at some of our attendances at home to the likes of Wycombe and Posh in league 1, and trips to Millennium stadium and Wembley to see what fanbase is interested. One report said we had 46K for Wembley last summer and there were more fans wanting tickets. It's so frustrating to know the club we could be, being managed so poorly by the current ownership. Please sell the club Chansiri, if you love it so much, let someone else have a go at managing it back to where it should be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debram Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 4 hours ago, asteener1867 said: re locating to Hull apparently Odd place for him to go to, thought he was a big city player, think hes quite wealthy but not enough to buy out Chansiri unfortunately, think he took some big hits at Palace too so wont make that mistake again.

He bank rolled a film at a similar time to Palace which crashed. He may not have the required funds but would be a great member of a consortium.
