... the way things are going. Rob Staton BBC Radio Sheffield reporter Published 1 hour ago Crisis club Sheffield Wednesday have told their players they will not be paid on time this month with Tuesday's pay day for September's wages set to be missed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c1wg43zl49wo
Pay delay was rumoured last week, sounds definite this time. Sure I saw a tweet that said it was the 13th time under this owner!!! 5 EFL embargoes on the go right now too. But still above Sheff Utd in the table .
Horrendous. Chansiri seems unhinged. I thought at one time he was just out of depth, but he seems completely loopy. He has had offers which he has dismissed. It's as if he doesn't understand his predicament. They have no assets other than a pretty old ground which has seen no work done on it in twenty odd years. And it was old then. More players will now leave. The supporters are in open mutiny. A tax bill is due I think. Embargoes all over the place. It has no cash value right now. Less than three and a half years ago, we edged them in a play off semi final. How bloody lucky are we?
don't particularly like many of the FA rules and regs but ffs something has to be done for these...especially when the 'elite clubs' appear to do just as they wish and get away with it. plus they have to change exactly how they decide which owners are worthy.
Hillsborough looked good that night, who knows what could've happened if Roberts hadn't scored that goal. I had some sympathy, for Sheff Wed, but it went after those below us started doing the 'cut throat' signs on the Leppings Lane lower
Considering the EFL allowed Wigan to be taken over by a bloke who put them into administration so they'd be relegated and he could win a multi million dollar bet, I've little faith that they'll do things right. Deciding who are "fit and proper" owners at EFL level is their responsibility. Scary thought.
I keep a close eye on events there partially because it could easily have been us, but also because I just find it astonishing. Its ridiculous that the authorities just sit on their hands claiming there's not much else than deduct a few points and prevent them paying for new players. They're fielding an artificially weakened team and not paying other clubs owed funds, if this isn't comprising the integrity of the league competition what is? But, good old EFL, anything done to Chansiri could be done to other club owners so no chance of them voting to do anything. Useless.
Aye, deep in bother They’ve done well to get the points they have this season, really poor squad with no depth
The 'Just sponging off his mam' brigade have really kept their heads down this season ... ... no doubt they'll spring back up, if we slip, and claim they knew all along
including the media... however, what we're doing hasn't really been noticed. What I have noticed is that Andrews at Brentford seems to be getting all the love (before Saturdays result) from his mates at sky etc.
The EFL are useless, at everything they do. But it could be worse than it might seem for Wednesday. I have a mate who is an Owl and though not wanting to intrude in on private grief, I asked him if this is just another bit of the same. He says that there is a charge of some sort on the ground, some loan Chansiri took out to keep the plates on the sticks, and it is payable imminently. Probably a seven figure sum. A tax bill is also due, though it's not known yet if Chansiri has paid that. He might be stupid enough to just ignore it.
I hope the football league are lenient on the club but harsh on the owner, because it feels to me the owner is now being intentionally belligerent towards the club for some reason not yet clear to us. The last thing those supporters want is to get stuck back down in League One (or worse) which now looks like a likely outcome. Can ownership not be seized from him? The concept of complete ownership of a community hub like a football club is a weird one, especially when it's owned by a foreigner, not sure what can be done.
Pretty hard to punish the club now maybe. Points deductions are irrelevant. Despite their superb efforts so far, they are going down. They have no money so they can't sign players. But hopefully they don't do too much that it deters a buyer. Chansiri is going to lose everything and deserves to. He always wants more. A good number of players who have left for nothing could have been sold for good fees, but he always wants more. Complete nut job. Rich man's son who has ran out of other people's cash
Champion. Keep it like that for me, the last thing I want is that lot of uninformed talking heads slavering on about us. That said, even though Man Utd are surely due some sort of performance, if they don't come up with it, and we get a result down there, we'll not able to stop the feckers.
I fancy us to get something from them, however this is our first "Free hit" on paper but I imagine RLB will have other ideas.
