I see their chairman has had a bit of a rant about their fans:


Sure there was another chairman who had some kind of 'club statement' meltdown a couple of years back too.

How do some owners think this kind of thing helps?

Tough to please fans the Wednesday lot, big club imo bigger than Sheff United with big expectations and Blades doing well doesn’t help.

Finished 2 points behind Ipswich last year and neither side has dramatically changed, the table can lie when it comes to superiority

They've not been in the top flight for 23 years, they are fairly equally matched with United historically albeit have won the first division more times. I'd say their fans have been pretty patient as they yo-yo between the second and third tier.

It’s obviously not going to help things but without knowing what’s going on there in any detail there’s not really a lot in that statement that’s wrong is there?

says fans have repeatedly gone after his family which is completely out of order. Says they are not doing well financially but despite repeated requests to behave fans are throwing things on the pitch, pitch invasions etc that cost the club money.

sounds like he’s had enough tbh, saying he’s held forums and explained the situation but the fans don’t back the club in ticket and merch sales, just ask for everything to be cheaper while also asking for a bigger player budget.

story of every club really, we all want someone who is happy to chuck a load of money in and just walk away writing it off if things don’t work out. Problem is it’s hard to compete without an owner that will do that

The timing of it is utterly bewildering, on the morning fans are planning a protest against your ownership live on Sky

No, but it benefits people that own real estate very close to its path, like the Blues new owners, doesn't it?

If I was Sunak as soon as I got to the second paragraph and read the American spelling of 'emphasized' that letter would be straight in the bin.

I’m not surprised if merchandise sales aren’t going well. £65 for an adult shirt.

Was a complete dickhead when I played as Wednesday on FM, never once stuck to previously agreed budgets and seemed to think that he was some sort of club legend. Bastard.

Wednesday fans are some of the best I’ve ever met. Never cause trouble, always turn out in numbers. The chairman hasn’t a clue about the people or history of that club, he is not fit to be in charge of it.

Will never forget a whole ground rendition of ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’ sung at a midweek game against them, I think in honour of fans who got killed on the way back from a game against us.

Good club, needs rid of Chansiri.

I can remember going there midweek, think we lost about 5-1 we sang all game. They were clapping us below as they walked out.

Good on him. Obviously benefits their club, especially when they inevitably move to the NEC but we should be pushing for HS2 to be completed.

Ticket prices are top dollar too. While threats to family are out of order, protesting their plight is perfectly reasonable.
