It all went wrong for Wednesday when they changed their badge from this all-timer to their current monstrosity. That Chansiri fella may have had something to do with it too, I suppose.

Believe they are bringing it back from next season, they associate the current badge with the Chansiri era so want a fresh start

Thanks Wrexham, best 8 million we've received for a player who never completes a season, now the Wrexham fans know why we sold him.

That may be a harsh comment, but it's a fact.

Feel very sorry for Sheaf, seems his career is going to be stalled by injuries.

Have to say though, I think you are right.

Feel sorry for him? He's joined Hollywood and is getting paid a lot of money for doing nothing

I’m sure if a billionaire purchased our club the morality police would be “done with football” and never watch our club again

Don't think anyone's suggesting Wrexham (or anyone else's) fans should stop watching their club, are they?

BSB says it’s morally wrong so I assume he wouldn’t and would rather they wallowed around in league two

We are effectively 6 points clear now of 3rd due to Boro having to play Ipswich
0.46 points per game
As many points as it was per game before the start of our slump !!

It's not 'immoral' it's just anti competitive, any team given a blank cheque would rise up the leagues like that ahead of teams who haven't got anything like that sort of money.

I assume you'll be there with a half and half scarf on in April?

What achievements are they? Signed lots of players for a lot of money without much resale value and hoping for a playoff place.

An achievement is when a club rises from League 2 without a rich benefactor and just spending on transfers about the same as they bring in from players sold......with a manager you spent years saying wasn't good enough, and us now sitting in 1st place with a very good chance of getting automatic promotion.

Luton went from non-league to the Prem on a shoestring budget, we've gone from L2 to the brink of promotion largely thanks to a manager who he hasn't credited once with that success. Those are stories that are great for football and are a lot sweeter for the fans of clubs who manage it.

We can add moneybags Wrexham and Phil Parkinson to the list of managers that little G will praise instead of MR.

I saw a clip where some were asked who they would support if not Wrexham, it was cringe worthy.

I am of course somewhat joking, but their achievements are certainly not impressive.

Do I wish we had a massively wealthy benefactor funding our club? Yes of course.

My little boy is in for a shock if we get promoted. Wembley a few times, promotions, and as close as you can get to beating Manchester United to get into the final of the FA cup. He has only really seen the good days.

I can just about remember rewatching Huckerby's winning goal against them in the late 90s on MOTD. What a goal that was.

Not the same as saying it's immoral.

People have been saying it lacks sporting integrity and prevents clubs run in a more sustainable way achieving success, but not that it's 'immoral'.

And yes, there is a very big difference.

I assume you will still be done with football and not renew your season ticket if we don’t go up this season ?

It’s all nonsense - I’d rather we were bought by a billionaire in 2001 and went straight back up - as would you

Let's just get something on the record. Did Mark Robins do a good job at this club, yes or no? If Phil Parkinson getting into this league spending fuck loads of money deserves credit, doing it at a basket case of a club does too, right?

You asked a textbook no reply question. Your best bet is to ask again next time Dasilva has a bad game.

I'll just ask him the question every time he quotes me on something. I remember prising out of him the Kenny Jackett nonsense a few years back, a proud moment.

What they have done in my view is the exact antithesis of respecting the tradition of the game here. Taking out fuck loads of money to blow transfer fees and wages out of proportion to steal promotion from countless other clubs.
