Does anyone feel a little bit sorry for Sheffield Wednesday in their current predicament ?

    They made my son cry on his first visit to Wembley so I have very little sympathy

    Chansiri saying in a statement today it's not his fault and any consortium bidders aren't offering enough.

    In summary they're screwed

    Should have made it a poll, the result would have been worth a laugh....

    No, by the way.

    Not at all, what gets me is their fans are now continually criticising Chansiri for not putting the money in. But hang on, maybe he's run out of money, because for the 8 or so years he's been there they have constantly overspent, not necessarily on transfer fees, but on wages. Barry Bannan 25k plus per week, Winnall around 18k per week, Forestieri 35-40k per week and there are many others like that. It's not sustainable, their ground is a ******* dump and training facilities an absolute disgrace. In addition, hasn't the ground been separated from the footballing entity? Therefore who is going to want to buy the club? Throw in the mix that Chansiri is asking for a massiively inflated price to sell the club then I think they could be ******.

    His statement is hilarious. Sounds like he wrote it pissed up.

    I head he was looking for £140m to sell the club and he won't budge on that figure. Some in the know have said Chansiri is playing silly buggers and the club isn't worth even half of that amount. If he continues to not pay the bills then surely there will come a point where administration is the only option.

    Are they massively inflated. I thought they also got a taxi firm and a power drinks org in the mix too, as well as a state of the art stadium.

    It made me laugh. Basically, I admit I have f**ked it up, but I want to make sure it's not owned by anyone who would F*** it up!
