Sheffield Wednesday - Into Administration (p44)

Henry Irving

Chansiri might be the biggest creditor but if the new owners don't pay the 25% it will be the small local businesses who will be even further hurt.

I think people underestimate how shit League 1 is, they'll make up the 15 points easily with this squad IMO, add some journeymen from the current League 1 that have only ever played for tinpot clubs infront of 6k fans and they'll be fine

And if they do go down again, oh well see ya later, who gives a toss at the end of the day. The more "big" clubs suffer because of bad ownership and even worse spending, the more diligent other clubs will hopefully be in the future

Their squad is terrible!

Does anyone know if they'll still be under a transfer embargo and wage limit restrictions as well?

Sheff Weds will be able to recruit some half decent players on free transfers because of their name and they're a big club, but if a player has a choice of going there or to say someone like Bolton or Huddersfield, you're probably not choosing the club on -15.

No worse than Burton's or Exeter's IMO, better than Port Vale's and Northampton's. I honestly think they'll be fine, they won't come straight back up, but they'll have enough about them and will be able to add enough freebies etc that will get them a spot in the lower midtable

All depends on their signing restrictions but I agree that they're unlikely to go down again. They should be able to get 65 points to stay up.
