As you are well aware, we have recruited the services of ‘Inner Circle’ commercial bankers, to help us in our quest for long term investment. I am sure you will understand that gaining such a commitment from any such party can be a protracted evolution, especially when faced with the financial challenges of today’s market. You are all impatient for news of progress, as am I.

In order to alleviate this I have recruited a new, in-house team of specialists, who will help us in the fiscal short to medium term. After a thorough and lengthy consultation period I have, I feel, recruited the people most able to assist us raise our financial profile in these challenging times. They have a proven track record in helping groups through economically demanding times, and have gained a robust reputation for profiting during those same conditions.

As with any such venture, there is an element of risk, but given the social background of this team, I feel we have reduced this to an absolute minimum, whilst maximising our potential to raise revenue.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the team…”

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn... another non-thread about Wednesday from blade.

Yes but wouldn't you like to see a thread from a wednesdayite about the investment ? I mean LS is making it so easy for Blades to have a laugh at your expenses AGAIN.

You are being led down the garden path by Lee Strafford
( Notice i didnt change the name so you dont spit the dum dum ) and because of the blue and white tinted specs you dont see it.

Didn't he say there would be investment mid January --- Hellooooooo 2 more days to mid january and hes hired an in house team of specialists :hihi::hihi::hihi:

wonder if they get free seats for the matches like he does....:hihi::hihi:

dole corner i would imagine:hihi: where strappedforcash should be sitting. how many other clubs do you know where the chairman has put the square root of fxxk all into the club but gets benefits like sitting in the directors box:hihi: And the best part about it is, most fans thinks this guy is doing a sound job

all the things hes done are things anyone of us could have done

hes a dam joke if he ever comes back on cross we will nail im on it

I treat him as pure entertainment, but for the Owls fans and on a more serious issue the club can not carry on with the losses they are maintaining at present. The debt is growing, the team is poor and the gates are falling.

Realism has to step in soon, Dave Allen wants his cash, the tax bill will soon be due, and investment well we all know the story. Restructuring the bank agreement will not cover the cracks.

As for assets Grant and tugay!! whats their worth, Grant is a brill keeper, but if sold would have to be replaced at some cost, he is prob worth 5 points to the team in the coming 5 month so is a sale wise? as for Tugay his form has dipped so much is not a matter of a fee anymore, its a matter of someone taking over his contract !

Mr Straffords inner and outer circles now involves a team of experts, they also come at a cost, whos paying for them? Strafford boasted contacts worldwide at one stage, yet none care to show their hand in Straffords many false investment dates.

PURE ENTERTAINMENT!!

Its the genuine fans and supporters who feel the embarassment, while some hide in a directors box and churn out the spin.

Ken Bates as much of a pain he is, he delivers ,what could he have done with the Owls? He knows football and business. Puts his cash in and gets results. What a missed chance that was.

agree about ken bates but would lot have put up with the large hike in season ticket prices. i know a leeds fan who goes from sheffield, his season ticket is £650

Have to agree CB, more Owls should be putting pressure on Strafford to come up with the goods.

Bottom of the league is bad enough, add the false promises and debt ,:confused:but if relegation follows its the silent fans who must take a little of the blame. The tollerance of the chairman, his promises and his faliures has been telling, yea lots have voted with their feet , yet put up and accept with "we have heard it all before" "if it happens it happens" well supporters wake up, Relegation and administration are fast becoming a reality.

I dont want the Owls to go down, but am resigning myself to losing the derby fixture for many years to come.

I didn't know that we got expenses CB, I had better put a back dated claim in. :rolleyes:

what are the implications of going into administration? I know you get points deducted... does this cause other problems... im sure theres far more to this than just getting points deducted.

Bloody heck CB, me agreeing with you, well owts possible I guess. The income from gate money, season tickets and whatever other commercial activities a football club has should pay for all of their expenses.

Portsmouth could be the first premiership club to go tits up, they will not be on their own. Young kids becoming multi millionaires in a few short seasons, no sports shop or pub for them when their playing days are over. The whole thing is a farce. I hazzard a guess that in my time, I have been a damn sight better at my job than a lot of footballers have been at theirs.

£120,000 per week, do you realise how stupid this is? :confused:

I dont believe for one minute that Dave Allen jumped on the bandwagon to make a quick buck. I think against his better judgement that he was co-erced by the existing board at the time as he was seen as a local successful businessman in the leisure industry.

Straffords gone quiet again, keeping his head down before the transfer window ends is he? or to busy signing the latest investment contracts.

a certain funseeker claimed the club would go into liquidation at the start of the new year from a very reliable source apparently. only need to look at his name to see he was lying

think its only on the internet where Blades are laughing at us for Lee Strafford's comments ... not mant other people hear them and there's plenty of Wednesday & Unitedites that aren't like us and dont use internet forums and my mates that dont never really mention Strafford's name, they never hear anything he says!!!!

I chat with plenty of football supporters from other clubs. had a rabbit with 4 middlesbrough fans yesterday on london road. none of them were laughing at our law suit over westham in fact they were praising our stance. I hear a lot of visiting fans to westhams upton park taunt the shammers with the song "we should be at bramall lane".

Yea to be fair. its a local issue , talked in the pubs and local forums. But its such a big topic, often laughable. The forcasts, the budgets and the deadlines.

That last AGM, it was stated 3 interested parties were at an investment stage never reached in previous bids.

Dec 09 he gave a dead line of March 2009 !! Radio Sheffield have taken a lot of heat off Strafford, insisting the January 2010 deadlines "would be telling".

Well theres 12 days left. then the banter will start all over again. Come on LEE whats the latest:):)


P.S anyone else noticed Altyowl has gone quiet the same time as LEE!! :) WE ALWAYS SAID THEY WERE IN BED TOGETHER,

Could you expand on constant law-suits and point me in the direction of any supporting information to back this up. Here is a definition of constant to help you.

con·stant (knstnt)
adj.
1. Continually occurring; persistent.
2. Regularly recurring: plagued by constant interruptions.

ok, so 1 'sueing' and one 'investigation' then, sorry

cant think of any other clubs who've sued like united have (although im sure someone out there does!) and certainly none for the same ridiculous reason they did

Thats one then for the avoidance of doubt and a succesful one too.

And dont think for one minute that if it had been Wigan or Fulham that had their positions reversed with ours that they would not have taken the same action, as both Messrs Whelan and Fayed indicated that this would be the case.

It's a waste of time trying to explain to some of them about it, 25m reasons why we were right, but some of them can't see it for wetting their knickers about some "investors" that are in strapfor's head

50 years ago they would be taken into protective custody for hearing voices and put in a padded cell wearing a funny jacket
To paraphrase Napoleon XIV "They're coming to take them away HaHa"

Of course THE OWLS would not have sued in the same position!!

But maybe would have had to apply for a NO WIN-NO FEE solicitor of course. :)

Straped for cash would not have had the bottle or the funds to carry out the fight for justice.

i just dont think a club should be allowed to take on the pitch matters to court and settle for an 'out of court settlement', if United were 'done' by West Ham then surely you would have gone for the full £60m?

Football matters should be settled on the pitch, do you honestly think it was entirely West Ham's fault that United got relegated that season? 'coz i dont and im sure no-one in the world thinks that

personally i think that if someone wants to sue someone for Slander/Libel or whatever it was then thats an 'off the pitch' matter and is up to the indviduals, although, saying that if it wad me in charge at the time then no chance i would sue one of my own fans

£25m? why didnt you go for the full £60m?

All this is old news and has been done more times than Jordans breasts.

This ia all that matters now.

United's issue was with the non-registration of players. That is an 'off the pitch' issue. It's not like they were contesting a goal or a penalty.

fair one it is old news but people still wanna talk about it - probbaly due to it being a monumental moment in english football,

people still discuss the 'goal' in the '66 world cup final so i wouldnt hold much hope that it ill go away soon!!!

United's issue was with the non-registration of players. That is an 'off the pitch' issue. It's not like they were contesting a goal or a penalty.

id class the issue as an on the pitch issue as surely the whole case was that without Tevez's goals, SUFC would have stayed up - i dont think that can be proven but obviously WHU were worried that the courts would rule in favour of SUFC so decided to settle out of court,

just my view on it and im guessing that SUFC wont be carrying on with this latest forrage into legal matters

When was the last time you discussed the 1966 world cup final.:roll:
I was at the game and it's lucky to get mentioned once a year.
By the way the thread is about Straffod, the tevez affair is only used by owls fans to deflect the conversation elsewhere.

monumental yes - nothing like that had ever happened befre so for me yes it was monumental

1966 cropped up the other week actually, when i was chatting to me pals about the upcoming WC.

dont think owls fans are trying to deflect things, i just dont think people (wednesdayites - obviously blades will have a laugh at out expense but thats what football's all about) are interested in Strafford's dealine's, takeover talk etc so we just take it with a pinch of salt and when it comes, it comes

yea i think that sounds about right. no owls i know give a damn about any deadlines set now. when it happens it happens until then we just get on with things, just sometimes gets tiring when it's blades that seem more bothered but thats just banter/rivalry for you

No I (and most of the Blades) on here don't think it was entirely the shammers fault BUT as has been proved both by the prem league and the courts they did not play on a level playing field by playing a player that they should not have
It was and has been said many times if other teams had gone down instead of us the legal case would have gone ahead by them

And whats you opnion on owls bringing the tevez affair up all the time then?

thats their choice and i just see it as banter, just as it is with utd fans bringing up these deadlines etc. i try not to bring these things up anyway, only bothered about talking about on the field issues

no seems not every owls brings up the tevez affair. lets just go round in circles and say utd fans are more bothered about straffords deadlines than the blades then shall we. it will never end anyway, banter will always occur, whether its tevez, deadlines etc, all a laugh in the end

when you've heard all the: Ken bates, Geoff Sheard & all those others i cant remember the name of - it gets tiresome and new dealines etc arent that interesting anymore ... wouldnt say owls fans were more interested in tevez than our own investment, not by a long way - but its ammunition for us against sufc and u guys use the investment as ammunition to have a laugh at us, thats part of being a football fan

i got a message on facebook from LS the other day:

i asked him why he says it would be the fans fault if we dont average 25,000 and meet budget he replied :-

It all our "responsibility", you appear to have difficulty understanding the words and messages from an honest person, I have never blamed the fans you muppet :-) , as I am one.

yeh, i cant really prove it but you'll just have to trust me, i was a bit taken back didnt expect him to react like that!

if u have him as a friend on facebook, ask him the same question see if he replies - took about 2days to reply to me.

i wonder if he just has a template and paste's it to everyone who asks him similair questions...

don't expect you to prove it, just wasn't sure if it was a joke or something. it was a reasonable question, bit off to react like that, not going to win many fans around answering like that and the ones that are still behind him could end up turning aswell

I understand Strafford when he's saying we need to back the club if we want success....just wish he wouldn't use terms like muppet - even if it's just in jest, as it's hard to convey that over the net.

To be fair to Strafford, he gets a lot of unwarranted grief over people twisting things or not really understanding what he means. Not once has he promised anything or criticised the fans - he's just trying to encourage fans back to Hillsborough. His hearts in it and we could do things if the fans can back in numbers.

when you've heard all the: Ken bates, Geoff Sheard & all those others i cant remember the name of - it gets tiresome and new dealines etc arent that interesting anymore ... wouldnt say owls fans were more interested in tevez than our own investment, not by a long way - but its ammunition for us against sufc and u guys use the investment as ammunition to have a laugh at us, thats part of being a football fan

i got a message on facebook from LS the other day:

i asked him why he says it would be the fans fault if we dont average 25,000 and meet budget he replied :-

It all our "responsibility", you appear to have difficulty understanding the words and messages from an honest person, I have never blamed the fans you muppet :-) , as I am one.

And there you emphasize the reason some Blades are finding it easy to laugh at him Facebook, Owlstalk ect why doesn't he just keep his gob shut untill something is worthy of telling the people about
I know the previous regimes kept you like mushrooms but he seems like one of those saddos on twitter who tell you everytime they go to the bog for a crap

Let me get this clear.
You have a message from lee strafford calling you a muppet and saying he is the one.:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:.

thats fair enough but reacting like that to a simple question isn't really on, even if he gets alot of grief. just might get some of those that aren't sure to turn against him.

completely agreed, i think he's putting too muchemphasis on the internet influence, yes i no a lot of us like to chat on ere about footy etc but there are thousands of people who dont even no what an internet is and only want SWFC to do well - i no he has his heart in it and i just hope he has his priorities right...

yeh, i cant really prove it but you'll just have to trust me, i was a bit taken back didnt expect him to react like that!

if u have him as a friend on facebook, ask him the same question see if he replies - took about 2days to reply to me.

i wonder if he just has a template and paste's it to everyone who asks him similair questions...

Scooby, that post of yours is the best I have ever seen,:hihi::hihi:, I just can't stop laughing.

You muppet.

I am the one.

Cheers Scooby, you have made my day.

I wish you had saved it.:hihi::hihi:

Dude !! Muppet!! any other popular Strafford terms??


Heres one he does not use SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENT!!

leave the fans alone Strafford. They are the bread and butter of the club and will be there long after you have cocked it up again.

No problem I don't think you would say it if it was untrue.

ok, so 1 'sueing' and one 'investigation' then, sorry

cant think of any other clubs who've sued like united have (although im sure someone out there does!) and certainly none for the same ridiculous reason they did

Portsmouth have threatened to sue the Premier League to try and get the club's transfer embargo lifted.

im not doubting that - but i said 'like united have' after which was important to the context of the statement

im not doubting that - but i said 'like united have' after which was important to the context of the statement

The context is only there because West Ham broke the rules, without the rule break there is no legal case.

Hypothetically, If United signed Michael Owen (illegally) and he scored a hat-trick to send you down at Hillsborough you wouldn't be a bit ****** off. Just take off your blue and white spectacles for just a moment, and have a think about an injustice like that, forget it's United.

The whole legal issue wasn't highlighted by United, it was brought up by Liverpool. Add in that Fayed and Dave Whelan also said they'd sue if they were relegated, so that answers your question about other clubs suing.

The pay out is there in black and white, people don't give out millions of pounds just for the hell of it. West Ham surely wouldn't lay down and cough up if they'd not wronged United?

Do a screen print and upload it on the net.....

Fantastic service from Lee. I've long thought he might be a Blade you know, he does seem intent on annoying people to not come to games.

:loopy: im confused but at least i made u smile lol

Might I suggest that you use Kermit the frog as your avitar, and a signature of ' It's not easy being green'? :hihi::hihi::hihi:

lol if i knew how to choose an avatar i would!

lol maybe, to an extent. So why are people up in arms about it if its an everyday occurance, probably just another thing to slag him off about then i guess.

lol if i knew how to choose an avatar i would!
first get a free program called pix resizer, then resize all the pictures you want as an avatar, cos file size and picture size are ristriced on most forums, TIP: copy one from a forum that you like it'll already be the right size.
then join the free photo hosting site called photobucket, and upload all your resized pictures. under each picture you'll notice html/http and IMG links for that pic copy the http or IMG link. Then back on sheffield forum goto my control panel and select the change avatar option and you'll see a box to paste the link you copied into it....there you go mate the rough guide to posting an avatar

Dude !! Muppet!! any other popular Strafford terms??


Heres one he does not use SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENT!!

He hasn't cocked anything up. Investment, as stated my Strafford is only a possibility and bonus, never has he said is it a definite. The current financial difficulties are down to previous people. Though terms like muppet shouldn't be said to fans... I do understand why he gets frustrated.

ARE YOU FOR REAL ??

Its the fans who get frustrated, he has had media quotes with deadlines, published here and else where many times, did you not view the comments at the A.G.M?

Alty wake up, he is /has taken the Wednesday fan for a mug far to many times.

Most Owls i suspect have woke up to his spin. accepted his cocked up forcasts, cocked up budgets and failed investments .

He deflects his downfalls on lack of responce from fans, calls them dudes when they obey and muppets when they disagree!!! What a leader.

NOT COCKED OWT UP !! you wish.

Deadlines - Yes BUT he always says investment is NOT definite. He has said he'll tell us straight away if this current investment deal is not going to come to fruition. Fans listen to only part of what he says, then these fans spread stuff and them blame it on Strafford. If they actually listened fully, they would understand what Strafford is trying to achieve and see he has not created any so-called spin.

He hasn't blamed the fans...he's merely stating that without investment (which is where we're at currently) if we want to progress, the fans need to back us in numbers and that is right...there;s no other way if we don't get investment..why can't fans understand this is beyond me. Fans want star palyers, we can't have them unless we back the club..simple as.

In terms of the words muppet etc, I think he was wrong to say it to scooby, but whenever I've seen him use this term on Owlstalk it is to certain members who come on to cause trouble and actually create spin and it does affect our fanbase. A Blade created an account on Owlstalk and pretended to be an american investor stating investment was nearly done....a few members started to believe him....now if that happens and then investment doesn't happen, these daft fans will feel let down and blame it on Strafford even though that wouldn't be Strafford's fault. However Strafford came on and told it how it is and stopped this spin merchant on Owlstalk getting Owls fans hopes up too much.

Perhaps if strafford spent less time on facebook and other social networks and concentrated on the job he was brought in for, the fans would be less critical.
Also you keep going on about fans turning up, it's been a fact of football for years that the more succesful a team is the more fans come and watch.
You can't drag them in by moaning about being skint.

How about the fact he said investment would be in BEFORE he brought in a new manager?

ALTY,
Deadlines yes !! forcasts yes!! budgets yes!! COCKED UP

Investment ??OK not cocked it up yet ONLY FOR THE FACT as he cant find any!


You again quote Owlstalk in you responce, like Blades forums , rumour and trouble makers appear on all of them, information should be taken with a pinch of salt and not used as factual statement as in some many of your replys in the past.

You seem to think Owlstalk has some creditability in the football community, is this because your chairman uses it for his ranting?

I know..............

How about the fact he said investment would be in BEFORE he brought in a new manager?
I saw an interview where he addressed that matter Robbie, He said because of the shock unexpected sacking of alan irvine, everything else was pushed to the back while they went all out to get alan as the new manager.

Why did he interview Ferguson before that then?

i presume irvine wasnt in the frame at the time

I read the same interview AD, however why would you hand a 3 and a half year contract to a manager when investment is on the brink.... what if the new regime wanted their own man in?

That was the indicator that showed no investment is on the horizon.

he's looking for someone to invest - not to takeover

Whilst Alty might talk crap for the majority ;) him being an assistant mod should have nothing to do with anything he says.

I was not criticizing him I could have put it better by the mod part what i was trying to say that as a mod he has to be impartial with a lot of things posted but I stand by the rest posted

For an ass mod his views are so blinkered you cannot expect anything else His view on the matter "as someone who knows whats going on???" are that strappedforcash can't do anything wrong

His mod status has little to do with his views or opinions, i would suggest his lack of years and his student status has more to do with his tollerance of the chairman.

Alty is entitled to his opinion, no matter how much ours may differ.

How about the fact he said investment would be in BEFORE he brought in a new manager?

Interviewing Ferguson contradicts everything he said about investment before manager and his interview about Irvine. Having to act fast:roll:, others had already been interviewed.

didnt no he had interviewed fergie jnr - when was that published? anyone else interviewed? i thought Irvine was first choice for SWFC...

he's looking for someone to invest - not to takeover

Maybe but if I was putting £xm "investment" in a business I would want a say in how it was ran

Maybe but if I was putting £xm "investment" in a business I would want a say in how it was ran

yeh man so wud i!!

but i think Strafford's hoping that the new investors have a look at Irvine's record and show faith...

...Irvine's contract will have probably expired by the time anyone puts anymoney in anyway lol!

he's looking for someone to invest - not to takeover

Only because every attempt at takeover level has failed.
They would welcome a takeover.

he's looking for someone to invest - not to takeover

When people invest, they generally want a say in the matter.

i presume irvine wasnt in the frame at the time

So then would it not be safe to assume that his original statement of not appointing someone until investment was in to be a total untruth?
Ferguson was available when Laws was sacked.

He only appointed Irvine because a manager of his calibre (he doesn't really have much standing in the game, nor has he really achieved anything of serious note as a manager) became available after all.

Also, do you find it a tad strange that 2 managers not good enough for the Owls (Laws/Ferguson) have gone on to better jobs?

he's looking for someone to invest - not to takeover

Takeovers, investment, investors!! the last statements suggested a financial re structuring with a big help from the co-op bank.

Dec 08 he talked of £50m investments, Dec 09 he talks of share issues and banks writing off debts totaling an input of just£20m. These and other rumours and deadlines have proved to be fruitless.

January is a critical month for his creditability as a club chairman. You cant keep blagging the paying public.

yeh man so wud i!!

but i think Strafford's hoping that the new investors have a look at Irvine's record and show faith...

...Irvine's contract will have probably expired by the time anyone puts anymoney in anyway lol!

What in Irvines record do you think would attract millions of pounds worth of investment?

where does it say that investment before manager?, i cant remember reading that anywhere though i may be wrong. The only thing i remember him saying was they wern't going to rush into appionting a new manager, that they wanted the right man for the job and while in process of interviewing available managers Alan Irvine got sacked so they moved to get his services.

didnt no he had interviewed fergie jnr - when was that published? anyone else interviewed? i thought Irvine was first choice for SWFC...

It came from Fergie Jnr when he took over at PNE.

i thought ferguson turned us down? after a chat with his dad

What in Irvines record do you think would attract millions of pounds worth of investment?

saved preston from relegation (when they were in similair position to us)
got them into play-offs
was mid table mid-season

id take something similair and im sure everyone else associated with SWFC would ... lets just hope he can reproduce that

How about the fact he said investment would be in BEFORE he brought in a new manager?

I don't believe that was ever stated.

The fans might be impressed with that fair enough but to an investor putting millions in it would mean nothing.
On your reckoning Blackwell must be a right money magnet for United.

PNE have a good defence/keeper.
The rest of their squad is 'decent'.
It was a good feat to get them in the play offs, but no more than that. It was on par of Burnley doing it.

ALTY,
Deadlines yes !! forcasts yes!! budgets yes!! COCKED UP

Investment ??OK not cocked it up yet ONLY FOR THE FACT as he cant find any!

Dealines which as mentioned were NOT definite. Forcasts on attendances yes...but I think every Owl expected Attendances to up, after all these so-called fans said they'd return once certain people left the club.

The bold bit I agree..I never take it as fact..but there's a lot of fans who do and start getting excited...then they blame Strafford..hence why Strafford comes on to not let these spin merchants get some of our fans carried away.

Well that's it then show business it is, scooby will be serenading Miss Piggy with his rendition of Endless Love, pre match from the centre circle. Lee Strafford will follow with his own version of Money That's What I Want. Not to be out done, Kevin McCabe will come on and give a rousing version of A Boy Named Sue, the mind boggles. :rolleyes:

i thought ferguson turned us down? after a chat with his dad

thats what i heard but i also heard he had 2 interviews, so i never know what to believe and quite frankly not too fussed, irvine out of all the names mentioned would of been my choice anyway.
as for strafford it sometimes seems like he can't win. he tries to keep fans updated online but then gets slated for using forums etc too much(i don't think he should be doing it so much) but if he didn't say anything the fans would then say he wasn't keeping the fans informed. although i'm definately not a supporter of him like alty is i will give him chance. i have pretty much given up with investment now but as far as the running of the club goes he is doing a decent job, even though he has made mistakes but i don't remember any deadlines set for the investments either

For an ass mod his views are so blinkered you cannot expect anything else His view on the matter "as someone who knows whats going on???" are that strappedforcash can't do anything wrong

To be fair pal...A lot of peoples views in my opinion are ridiculously blinkered in regard to Strafford. I'm not saying he's the greatest chairma ever..but the amount of crap he gets is totally unfounded when he's the only man who's tried and is trying to turn around Wednesday. Maybe if all Wednesdayites backed the club we'd have a lot more success...negativity doesn't help anyone.

The fans might be impressed with that fair enough but to an investor putting millions in it would mean nothing.
On your reckoning Blackwell must be a right money magnet for United.

well McCabe seems to trust him with cash! would be interesting if McCabe left SUFC if the new owner would be as confident in his ability

I know what u mean though, Investors who are not genuine footy fans like a big name and while Irvine might be a respected in the game he isnt exactly world renowned (i doubt, no offence ted!), s'pose it depends from which background these investors would be coming from (not that im fussy!!!)

Dealines which as mentioned were NOT definite. Forcasts on attendances yes...but I think every Owl expected Attendances to up, after all these so-called fans said they'd return once certain people left the club.

The bold bit I agree..I never take it as fact..but there's a lot of fans who do and start getting excited...then they blame Strafford..hence why Strafford comes on to not let these spin merchants get some of our fans carried away.

Attendaces did go up but like I said if it's not producing results they will soon drop again.

Dealines which as mentioned were NOT definite. .

So in Dec 08 when he stated all would be finalised by Mar 09 what did he mean?

NOT DEFINATE !! ONLY BECAUSE THEY NEVER OCCURED.

His mod status has little to do with his views or opinions, i would suggest his lack of years and his student status has more to do with his tollerance of the chairman.

Alty is entitled to his opinion, no matter how much ours may differ.

That has nothing to do with my views either. My Dad and many other Wednesdayites I've spoken to hold a similar view to mine...though others don't.

Thats a very fair statement, and in defence of most Owls fans they stood by him for far to long. But Blagging the paying fan for sooooooooooooo long has now took its effect on the supporter/stay away fans.

Well that's it then show business it is, scooby will be serenading Miss Piggy with his rendition of Endless Love, pre match from the centre circle.

LOL
post of 2010 - no doubt !!!

So in Dec 08 when he stated all would be finalised by Mar 09 what did he mean?

He never said investment was definite though, thats the point. Deadlines were so that talks didn't drag on and on.

That has nothing to do with my views either. My Dad and many other Wednesdayites I've spoken to hold a similar view to mine...though others don't.

I never listen to my dad, never did:) its my personal opinion i value most.;)

Too many owls have put their wednesday hats away.
They will not replace them until the team improves.

The new manager will add a little needed feel good factor though, with a few early wins etc.
But again the stay away fans will need a little more before returning .
