    You could always listen to his interview with Paul Walker from 13 days ago :

    The buying party would typically loan the finances to the current owner with instructions of how to invest and then obviously take over the debt when the takeover is completed.


    Whatever the reasoning Mandaric's lack of ensuring a team fit for purpose this close to the start of the season is incredibly reckless and irresponsible. At this point in time he couldn't care less about Wednesday other than to make that big fat profit he's been chasing.[/quote]

    Profit? Do you not think he'll be happy passing the debt on ?

    "Sheffield Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric with the latest from Hillsborough"

    Speaking to Paul Walker 13 days ago.

    Scroll down and click "view more".

    I can't post the specific link as it's too long for this site.

    13 days ago the chairman said that signings would be made before.

    Yesterday the head coach said he needed a green light before any signings.

    Well someone is certainly trying to kid somebody?

    A new user with the GHO, posting doubt and generally being negative. Grey Haired Owl back to his old tricks or an imposter from next door trying to be clever?

    ?
    The chairman is saying one thing, the head coach another.

    Are we being deliberately misled?

    Do we not deserve to know the truth?

    I've found the clip and MM does state that signings could be made. As you said, that was 13 days ago. The interview with 'our' manager does state that transfers are on hold, this was broadcast only a few days ago.

    Things change a lot in 10 days.

    Are any of us worried by the lack of transfer activity? ...not me, we've had a lack of transfer activity for 15 years. If waiting and being patient means signing players of a higher standard, then MM and HM have my full support.

    You're trying to stir the pot GHO, but there's nothing in it.

    As they say, the original is always better than the cover version. Grey Haired Owl must be cringing with embarrassment...and the original wasn't that good

    There is obviously something in it or we would have been able to sign a player.

    Fans are getting contradictory messages from the club. We deserve the truth.
