    I dont recall too many protests over the last few years. Any plastic pigs or taxis thrown onto the pitch?  Have any fans gone over to where Chansari lives & disrupt his evening out ? Any mock funerals ? 

     I may have missed them being down south & not being reported locally. 
    I thought this as well. Spoke to an Owls fan mate of mine and asked him what action fans are taking, the extent of protests etc. 
    “No-one’s buying the new replica kit”, was the reply. 

    Because they're following our lead and trying to hit the owner in the pocket. Plenty been boycotting games too, according to my Wednesday supporting mate. If their protests aren't getting the publicity ours did, maybe they don't have a CAST equivalent and aren't as well organized. Doesn't mean they don't object to Chansiri's stewardship and that's certainly the message he's got if you read his views on them. 
    For that to work it has to really make Chansiri feel it in the pocket. Our problem was RD’s pockets were too deep to make a dent in them.

    i always felt the most impactful action taken against RD were the protests in Belgium for him to experience first hand and also local media coverage which no doubt embarrassed him.
  • Shocked that Barry Bannan has signed a new deal today with Sheffield Wednesday
    Has he had to sign a new deal on the 7k a week max that the embargo allows, or as it's a renewal he can stay on his old terms?

    Bloke clearly loves the club and at his age probably couldn't be arsed to move elsewhere for 1-2 years.

    Apparently it is not clear cut whether the£7000 per week under  transfer embargo applies to renewals. It may  be at the discretion of the EFL

  • Sheffield Wednesday did cheat and that’s Chinsiris fault. They didn’t get a timely punishment. That’s the fault of The EFL. What’s got to change is that football needs to eradicate these unscrupulous owners willing to cheat and run clubs like playthings at the expense of anything and everyone else. Very sadly it might take the demise of a great and famous football club like Sheffield Wednesday to make the rest of English football sit up and do something. Again sadly I doubt it will make one iota of difference. Football is basically a disgusting sport these days. Greed and more greed have ruined it.
    And we, the fans, are the ones that get punished.  Normally at the expense of lining pockets.

    Bannan was supposedly on 25k a week.  I'd suspect he's got good advisors and is trying to ride the storm.

    As much as I despise Sheffield Wednesday and with good reasons. I appreciate how important clubs are to communities, especially absolute slums like Hillsborough. I'd rather spend a week in Gaza than a Monday morning in that hovel.
    I suspect not.
    "slums like Hillsborough", hmmmmmmm.

    He'll have the last laugh.
