The Professional Footballers' Association has been called in to offer advice after Sheffield Wednesday failed to pay its players on time. It is understood the Championship club's players only received a percentage of their November salaries. And they met with club officials on Wednesday to discuss the situation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55351588 What a shame, couldn't happen to a better Club.
Always liked Wednesday, certainly from the 80's when there was a lot of players moving between us. A terrific ground and a great day out on the drink with my Wednesday mates.
There is an excellent chippy behind the Leppings Lane End, I have visited it several times. Not the ideal ground to travel to by train.
Tyrannosaurus Pulis sacked at Sheff Wed, after 7 points from 30 games. Reports that he told their clueless foreign owner a few home truths on his way out of the door yesterday.
Rumours that Alex Scott has applied. She’s going to do the job part time in between presenting A Question of Sport, Newsnight, and her other 48 media gigs.
That’s why you are always skint and forced to wear Hi Viz cast offs. Pearson has said he won’t work with the lunatic owner.
Listening to Peter Crouch talking about playing for Pulis. He quite enjoyed it. A lot of Pulis's tactics were aimed specifically at unsettling opponents, taking a long time over the long throw-ins and set-pieces. Crouch called it anti-football, but it worked, and often caused sheer panic. Opponents even gave away corner kicks rather than throw-ins.
