Owls in administration

Yep just seen it mate,sorry.Somebody with very deep pockets will have to take over, the grounds an accident waiting to happen.

15th April 1989 was a disaster.
After it was said the ground did not have a safety certificate.
The North stand being allowed to open this season, after a inspection, someone said the inspector was a Wednesday fan.

You are right about the deep pockets needed. However it is only the football side of things that need to be paid in full. Things like transfers, players wages and maybe agents but unfortunately everyone else will get 25p in the pound of what is owed if things go by the rules. The new owner could pay in full though.

Is Sheffield Wednesday a good investment? Someone tried to buy us for ?30m+ but I doubt that would touch the sides.

There is a name and history that goes with Sheffield Wednesday whether we like it or not and let us not kid ourselves that it would not happen because none of us could have imagined how far Manchester City have come.

I do feel for the Owls that I know because I know that SWFC means as much to them as Rotherham United means to me.

Yep agree with Yak and Helio couldn’t happen to a nicer club if it was any club but then I’d be sympathetic but I despise that club and a lot of their dilusional fans thy took the mick when we were going through the mire and now look!
What’s taken so long to deduct the points they owe money here there and everywhere and the grounds unsafe don’t forget they got into this mess chasing the dream giving it the big club mentality paying big £ for players you don’t suddenly get into this mess overnight it’s been coming over a long period when he took over he was best thing since sliced bread with loads of broken promises sorry but it needs a “big” club to go bust to wake up the powers that be and I hope it’s Pigs that take that honour knowing them though they will get taken over by a multi billionaire and they’ll be giving it large again!
As has been mentioned we have to be careful what we wish for here at RUFC and while TS isn’t perfect at least he runs us on an even keel what will happen when/if he decides to sell well that’s for another day to worry about let’s just enjoy this soap over at Piggyland for now and if that sounds childish I plead guilty
The ones I feel for are the likes of Doris the tea lady office and shop staff and all the ordinary employees having said that they’ve had enough warning as regards getting out and finding another job

I can't stand Wednesday but do feel sorry for their sensible fans (there'll be a few)

Yes - feel for the genuine fans / symptomatic of the underlying problems in football

The poor sods who are owed money always come out worst.It will be interesting to see what penalties the club receive next season,in points deductions, as we were harshly hammered for a lesser crime.

What a tw@t chansiri his, he onlyAt last check, Chansiri had injected over ?128m in funding; now, the money, or his appetite to provide it, has dried up.

[avondalemiller]

After Chansiri 1st encounter at Wembley against Hull, which they lost, they didn't get near that prize again. They continued to pay silly wages trying to replicate it and Chansiri picked up the bill for the losses for the next 10 seasons, something some Wendies soon forgot.

Now he's wanting out, and maybe run out of money, nobody loves him. I don't know what will happen to the ground now, will it end up with club as a package? Hope whoever fancying buy them has extra deep pocket which goes with a massive club.

Good luck.

Listened tonight to one of the administrators on praise or grumble.
Had to laugh, a owls supporter sent a question in to the administrator.
Could Chansiri put a bid in to buy the club ?
Answer - Yes, but he's no money.
Plus - Didn't think he would pass the EFL Ownership of a club diligence test.

This was always going to happen, nobody would pay what he wanted, so the inevitable relegation this season, and still more difficult times ahead, but at least the fans still have a club.
