Report in the sun this morning said Alan Shearer is to become the next manager. He'll be given unlimited resourses.

Oh well we have the champions league approaching and blunts have div 1. There is a god:D

wednesday in 22nd blades down to 18th.... come on CB we both need a "hand of God" Manager...:rolleyes:

if shearer came he would have someone with lots of experience as his assistant. i wouldnt dismiss it. and if he was given unlimited resources a massive contract and a top flight assistant. then he may come. the sun said that he had not rejected the offer. he is the manager the new owners want. money talks.

shearers got loads of managerial expertise .:suspect::huh:
top flight assistant :huh: why not top flight manager :rolleyes:.

mind you if it's in the sun it must be right.

who's to say he isnt a top flight manager. only time will tell. think they may go for another top name if he's not interested. not sure who's available. mmmmm robson for wednesday:hihi:

So really the assistant would be the manager because Shearer has about as much experience managing a team as I do.
And not to burst the bubble for you lot but have any papers for this takeover been signed and sealed making it a done deal ?
If this blows up in your faces I will never take the smile off my face.Tevez, relegation and the balloon incident will pale in comparison :D
Some of the stuff I am reading on here and in the papers is almost becoming a joke,The stories change every day.
soccernet updated the story today..

The supporters' trust at the centre of Sheffield Wednesday's prolonged takeover saga believe a purchase of their shares has moved a step closer.

Wednesdayite must wait for a formal written offer to sell their key 10% stake after the Owls' board informed the London Stock Exchange that they had received an approach from a consortium which could potentially lead to a takeover.

A club statement read: 'The board of Sheffield Wednesday has received an indicative non-binding expression of interest which may or may not lead to an offer being made for some or all of the shares in the Company.

'A further announcement will be made when appropriate.'

A sale of supporters' shares could trigger a buyout of the club, which is reportedly saddled with debts of upwards of £26million.

'This changes the game a little,' Wednesdayite chairman Darryl Keys revealed. 'In a sense, the proper formal process has now begun. We expect to be informed in the next few days whether the sale of shares is to go ahead, or if it will not.'

A consortium led by Lancashire businessman Geoff Sheard is known to have approached the club regarding a takeover, and Sheard has communicated with Wednesdayite over acquiring their 10% holding as a first step.

Keys called verbal discussions with Sheard 'friendly, cordial, professional and constructive'.

Any offer must be backed by a ballot of Wednesdayite members, who could still block the sale.

It has been rumoured that Vladimir Yevtushenkov, a Russian billionaire with a vast telecommunications empire, could be Sheard's principal backer. WHO

Former Owls chairman Dave Allen has already promised to sell his 11% stake as long as the sale of Wednesdayite's shares goes through.

:suspect::suspect::suspect:

i certainly wouldnt want shearer as manager, why would he be better than laws.

Lets look at this and see what we can make of it.

For the last few days the speculation has been that this consortium would be rid of laws and bring their own man in. So it makes sense that Shearer would be linked. Lets also be fair it would be a superb place for shearer to cut his managerial teeth. Wednesday are a big club. Probably one of the top 20 clubs in the country and to get shearer would be kudos for both parties.

The main problem is great players (which even though he won very little Shearer was) don't always make great managers. Hiring Shearer is no guarantee of success but what it will do is raise the profile of the club. That means that the more people can see Wednesday are trying to move in the right direction means bums on seats and money flowing into the club. Shearer isn't a football decision hes a business decision.

If this takeover happens and the investment is as it is reported Wednesday stop being a football club and start being a business more than they've ever been in their history. Whether that is to the benefit of the club remains to be seen.

All this talk is speculation anyway because nothing will get resolved this weekend. An announcement should be made early next week. The pessimist in me says that the longer this goes on the less likely it is to happen. But really what do I know?

Shearer has the potential to be the next Bryan Robson :gag:

Why do you have to say things like that :( sniff :hihi:

That's been in the back my mind for ages

This would be terrible. I hope the potential buyers have a football knowledge or we would be in the same hole as SUFC.
SWFC have been looking for a passionate manager that gets the best out of his players & after years & years we finaly have him & are then talks about replacing him!!, especially with someone that doesn't realy care about the club & has no managerial experience.
Laws is an experienced manager & motivator & Clough used to call him Coach, that says something!
It would take a long time for SWFC with financial backing to fly up the leagues. Laws is the man that can do this with backing.
QPR haven't gone & appointed a big name manager & they're loaded!

QPR haven't gone & appointed a big name manager & they're loaded!

Haven't appointed a big name manager...yet

This would be terrible. I hope the potential buyers have a football knowledge or we would be in the same hole as SUFC.Would you care to explain this hole we're in?

Would you care to explain this hole we're in?

The one involving being solvent, comparatively well-off as football clubs go and having a good squad, but still languishing somewhere near the relegation zone of the second division.

well you did pick a manager who stats showed on sky sports that he had lost more than he had won, and now have blackwell purely I wreckon to get Mr Mcabe into your good books of united fans as he was apart of the warnock regime, The difference is some number 2's make great number 2's but crap managers just look at man utd number 2 he tryed being a manager didnt work did it. By the sounds of it united are more bothered about signing other clubs up where the football isnt the same standard as english football when they could be buying great players.

Would you care to explain this hole we're in?

He doesn't have a clue Disco, dont worry about it mate

Laws might be passionate and get the best of out his players and Clough might have called him Coach but that doesnt hide the fact you are 3rd from bottom so you are really saying your players are crap and over achieving.
And yes I agree ---It would take a long time for SWFC with financial backing to fly up the leagues, Think you made a mistake there somehow :hihi::hihi:
Just because a club has money means nothing, the players being brought in would have to learn a new system and it would take time for them to gel.
And lastly as someone else has asked you, explain the hole we are in ?

i think most owls fans would say we've got a poor side. i dont care how this russian guy makes his money aslong as he doesnt make things worse, which cant really happen can it. yes, new players would need to learn a new system bt a good manager would be able to get them playing. at the moment laws has got an excuse, he is doing the best he can with what he got but if the takeover happens he needs to be given a chance with a bit of money

The one involving being solvent, comparatively well-off as football clubs go and having a good squad, but still languishing somewhere near the relegation zone of the second division.Oh that one! I thought he was talking a purely financial hole

championship.........

yea, you blades are in a huge hole, at least us owls have got a club that has a huge loan and have to loan what we can, must be hard supporting a club that is financially sound, money being spent on the ground etc:loopy:

championship.........

Yes, the second division is called the championship nowadays. Well done. Did you want a medal or something? :rolleyes:

Just because a club has money means nothing



Then why have you spent the whole of this season gloating about United's comparable wealth with every discussion about Wednesday?

Yes, the second division is called the championship nowadays. Well done. Did you want a medal or something? :rolleyes:

i dont want a medal for pointing out your mistake but you need a personality implant .
the second division is called err the second division it's 2008 now you know.:P

i dont want a medal for pointing out your mistake

I haven't made a mistake.

I haven't made a mistake.


you never do :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::huh:

you never do :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::huh:

On the contrary, I make many mistakes. But referring to the division which is second in priority as the second division is not one of them, since that it what it is.

wriggle and squirm as much as you like the premier has been here since 1992 and macclesfield play in division 2 ,the blades play in the championship. anyone apart from you would have said "oh yes that's what i meant" but not you , you have to start insulting people asking if they want medals . your wrong full stop.

And lastly as someone else has asked you, explain the hole we are in ?

The whole your in if you can't see, is that you have a high wage bill on players bought with delusions of grandieur of getting back to Premiership, that aren't playing for the manager & are only 5 points off relegation. With relagation a possibility & having such a wage bill, that is a big hole to be in! Beattie on £30.000 a week not far off playing in League 1, isn't a nice hole to be in!. I can't believe you can't see it! lol.

Laws is doing a good job with an injury hit squad that are low in confidence. We have better players than some teams, but expectancy is higher than with Colchester or Scunthorpe for example, so therefore more pressure!
Without the injury issues & a more settled side, i'm confident we would be higher in the league. It's just that everyone beats everyone in this league, so if you go on a run, it don't count as much!
The players are actualy playing for the manager which can't be said for SUFC. Thats what all the fans were saying on the radio anyway!

Can I start the "Shearer Out" campaign?

But we have money to allow us to have players on wages worth as much as your whole team :D
You are 3rd from the bottom so God help you if the players weren't playing for Flaws then eh ?
I would say the players were playing for Blackwell because they battled hard at QPR and earned a point, kept Premiership Boro scoreless for 2 1/2 matches and today was always going to be a tough match for them especially after the Boro replay.
Look at Spurs today, you dont think they had a Carling Cup hangover :help:
If you think we are in a hole, then you need to open your eyes mate because you are in the grand canyon and if this takeover doesn't happen you are in ADMINISTRATION :hihi::hihi:
One problem I always see on here is that our managers are no good no matter who it is but, every manager wendy get is a demi God. Remember King Sturrocko :heyhey::heyhey: you lot were claiming he was a better manager than Warnock. Compare Warnocks record and what he did to PS and really what has Flaws done managerially.
Hes a good manager to you because he has kept an absolute rubbish team 3rd or 4th from the bottom all season and coached them to a 2-0 win over their most hated rivals so :clap::clap: well done Brian Laws, If you do the same at BDTBL there will be a knighthood ceremony and a statue erected in hillsborough park.

I am just going on whet was said on Radio Sheffield & that certain players only came because of Robson & that they only appointed Robson to keep the people in Brazil, Australia & wherever else happy as the manager is a big name, forget the team!

Er, i remember Sturrock being praised & i still praise him, he was great & treated unfair!, he had good fan relations, he was passionate & the fans empathised with him. I don't recall Chris Turner, Shreeves, Jewell etc being demi gods as you say. Maybe i missed one out as theres been so many, but Sturrock & Laws are highly thought of! Laws especialy as he plays attacking football.
I heard Martin O'Neil on MOD tonight & he sounded so much like Laws & Clough. He said things like 'not many teams come here & do that', & i thought, they both learned their managerial trade from Clough. I just hope we keep him.

We're not a rubbish team, just far too inconsistent & injury hit! Only Jeffers is prone, the others aren't, just bad luck!, as what happens at the bottom.
Are United injury prone, has there been lots of injurys amongst the well paid fiew,i don't think so! Just don't get relegated with big wages, it isn't good!! Squeeky bum time for you lot.

the fact is.... if we did get A.S. as new manager ((which i dont want to happen)) and he did a grand job... how long would it be until newcastle came in for him...?? he aint learnin the managers job at our expense!!!

Give BL a bag of money to play with, hes proved that hes a good manager at scunny and hillsborough when he aint got out in his pocket... who to say he not a god when hes got a cheque book in his hand????

And i will say this.... " IM DISAPOINTED IF WEDNESDAY DO GET A BIG CHEQUE BOOK TAKE OVER AND BUY THEIR WAY OUT OF TROUBLE, YES I KNOW ITS GOOD FOR THE CLUB AND THE SUPPORTERS, BUT IT AINT A FAIR WAY OF PLAYIN YOURSELF INTO A BETTER LEAGUE IS IT... BRING BACK THE DAYS OF WILKO AND BIG RON... GOOD FOOTBALL BRINGS GOOD RESULTS.... BIG MONEY FOOTBALL ISNT FOOTBALL IS A CRAP WAY OF GETTIN OUT OF YOUR PROBLEMS..." ID RATHER BL AND THE LADS HAD A FEW QUID TO PLAY WITH AND PLAYED GOOD FOOTBALL TO PLAY OUR WAY IN TO A BETTER POSITION.... NOT BUY OUR WAY OUT"

Shearer has the potential to be the next Bryan Robson :gag:

They have both had personality bypasses.

i cant remember what fans said about the managers before sturrock but i never rated turner, sturrock did fantsticly well, sacked unfairly, would never complain if he came back but laws is showing he is up to replacing him

what a complete utter load of rubbish, i've never laughed so much reading that :D as if Shearer is gonna manager Wednesday :D

you've gone stark raving mad.:loopy:

i will definately not be happy if a new board got rid of laws and put shearer in. i wont mind so much if laws isnt doing well so they decide to put shearer in but to just get rid of laws, nogt give him a chance just to put someone in with no managerial experience, it would be stupid. fair enough, it might raise wednesdays profile but by how much, would he manage to get any better quality of player in?

With all this speculation about a new manager my brother has said that if we've got a Russian billionaire throwing money at us then we'll be getting Mourinho as manager next.

Since then every time I've seen him he's been singing "Who needs Paul Sturrocko? We've got Mourinho!"

Blind optimism at its finest :D

you've gone stark raving mad.:loopy:

Spot on .... and why shouldn't Wednesday be the target of a big takeover? We are after all the biggest club outside the Premiership and indeed it could be argued bigger than some clubs in the Premiership .... I'm talking about the potential of our fan base, of course. That's what these big buyers are looking for - a history and a fan base which suggests potential for a big future if the investment's right. And that's exactly what Wednesday offers. It's about time we started believing ourselves worthy of massive investment and thinking big. We need the glory days at Hillsborough again, it's been too long.

We are after all the biggest club outside the Premiership

What potential fanbase would this be, the made up 50k a week you lot reckon you'd get?

*puts on best Russian accent* "So Boris where are the 50k fans they kept telling us about, this gound looks half empty to me"

"Yes Vladimir, i think they must be dressed at blue seats and playing hide and seek as they're very quiet today - yak, yak, yak - now pass me the vodka you fool. There goes another £50m!!! - lets buy Barnsley next, this time next year we'll be billionaires"

What potential fanbase would this be, the made up 50k a week you lot reckon you'd get?


If they were challenging for titles and reaching the Champions' League, the Owls could fill a 50,000-seater stadium easily. As could we.

Unfortunately, neither club looks like it has any chance of ever doing so :hihi:

Well they got to two cup finals and qualified for Europe in '93 yet still couldn't attract more than 30k fans a week.

we do have a big fanbase, there was over 40k at cardiff. i know you blades will go on about our half empty ground and where are the fans that were at cardiff but if we can get a team that is actually competing in the prem, then hopefully that would attract alot back.

as it would with utd

Go away Shearer we don`t want u, Laws deserves to be given a chance if this thing comes off!

As my post above said you've had all that, Cups Finals, European qualification and 3rd in the League and you still didn't get big crowds....certainly nowhere near 40k week in week out.

As my post above said you've had all that, Cups Finals, European qualification and 3rd in the League and you still didn't get big crowds....certainly nowhere near 40k week in week out.

Very true, even as an Owl myself we had crowds of 28k upwards in the old Premiership. However, i do feel with the modern game and Premiership the crowds woudl be larger so feel that Wednesday would and could average over 35k.

Both clubs are suffering now and even Utd's crowds are falling depite them only having just dropped out of that League.

Wait until next season buddy when our average is about 18k, one season in and out of the Prem and the Robbo effect is enough to push the fairweathers away.

You do know that they only pulled that off once, right?

Ay, all in one season then they had a bit of money to spend and in came the likes of Hinchliffe, Booth, de Bilde, Sinton, Jonk, Donnelly, O'Donnell, Pearce and Trustfull.......all expensive and useless.

Roll on the Russian Revolution!!!:help:

a couple of cup finals near beginning of when the prem started, after that we were in relegation fights most of the time, so yes, we only managed around 25k. if we are constantly near top half of table, doing well in the cups, then who knows. the fans are there, its just getting them back, like you managed to get all yours back for the season in the premiership

Seems to be a bit of panic setting in amongst some of the blades today.Not quite sure why given nothing has actually happened but i suppose having gone from automatic promotion, play offs then a relegation fight its quite a good way of diverting the truth.Not that the owls expected much"limited funds unlike our big rivals",not A top manager"Captain Marvel" and finally much bigger gates by SUFC.All things considered even given our low position not really looking as bad has it could is it.:hihi::hihi:

but the owls did exspect more. top six spot was was your goal i seem to remember,so we have both failed to deliver i thinks.thats the thing with football so unpredictable dont you think

bit of a stutter there

oh well. looks like jose is coming then!

after wednesdays finish last season i did think they would have an outside chance of the play offs .
however i did think the blades were a certainty and put my money down at the bookies ,
the money is irrelevant but to say I'm gutted about the blades season so far would be an understatement . I'm a blade and i am devastated. i freely admit it .

but the owls did exspect more. top six spot was was your goal i seem to remember

It was a goal, but not an expectation. Failing to reach the playoffs is not a major disappointment for the Owls; being in dire threat of relegation is. For the Blades, not being in an automatic promotion spot is a pretty poor effort.

but the owls did exspect more. top six spot was was your goal i seem to remember,so we have both failed to deliver i thinks.thats the thing with football so unpredictable dont you think

Very true but i dont understand why. I said at the start of the start of the season that i felt the team had been weakened as a whole and the only decent aquisition was Jeffers but we know how many teams we have seen him. Our side at full strength is mid-table at best.

agreed heyesey, most owls fans didnt believe we'd get in playoffs but hoped to, relegation is something that most fans would be disapointed

I really wish Owls fans wouldn't get so excited and taunt the Blade fans with talks of Champions League, Premier League, unlimited resources etc. It's a bit embarrassing and it'll be even MORE embarrassing if the whole thing doesn't go through. :roll:

Also I hope they keep Laws and don't get Shearer. Our lass can't stand him and she's a Blade so that'll give her yet another reason to hate us Owls. :hihi:

has shearer got the proper badges to be manager, he might not be allowed!
sure you have to have them to be manager.

I heard somewhere that he'd passed all his badges and quals to be a manager.

Still don't want him though.
