ruma as it this Sheard bloke is a Fraud & The News of The World were about to expose him & make SWFC the biggest laughing stock in Football. Taken from the Owlstalk board, posted by billsaja (the guy who's been digging alot of dirt). Quote: Well kidc you got your wish - I had an e-mail this morning in the address I posted on here from three of the tabloids. One of the guys (NOTW) e-mailed to say he already has sources 'inside the club' who have gone on the record as saying this takeover is a sham, their research is WAY ahead of mine just from the bits they shared, and as Talon alluded to as well they have spoken to the guy at St. Louis who is licking his considerable wounds having gone to the extent of telling MLS he was ready to join based on Geoffrey's fake information. They have spoken to people at other clubs that Geoffrey's mystery consortium approached too. It's all about to come out. Yes the NOTW is a rag, but they have the story here. So good job Mr. Sheard, within 10 days the largest Sunday gossip rag in existence is going to make Sheffield Wednesday the laughing stock of the football world and a punchline on every chat show and comedy slot for weeks, that is if the Maggie Rag the MOS and the People don't get there first. Hulley and Addy treat this with contempt and have never given you the time of day and your one meeting with Dave Allen shows nothing more than Mr. Allen's eagerness to leave this club which with all legal protections and disclaimers Mr. Allen, if there is one thing I truly appreciate you well, no offense, that is it. I could care less now if he wants to sue me - Mr. Sheard you are a scam artist of the worst kind. I thought 5 days ago you were some innocent victim in all this, but your conversations to the media and to Darrell Keys, relayed on here, and your almost mocking of the club by your use of Private Capital Bank prove it. You have made the club I hold dear in to a National joke - before we at least kept it within the confines of our own City. We were not your first intended victims, we were just the most public. There are NO "London-based lawyers", there is NO money in HSBC, you never retained Grant Thornton in July to act as your advisors (my friend who is a partner at GT called their Leeds office, oh did they ever laugh, thanks for that extra humiliation, had to be Leeds didn't it!), and while there may be a thousand or more Trusts in Switzerland, not one of them has retained you to act as their intermediary in a transaction to buy Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. I repeat you are a CON ARTIST, GRANT THORNTON IS NOT YOUR APPOINTED ADVISOR, there are NO LONDON-BASED LAWYERS WORKING ON THIS TRANSACTION, and there is NO MONEY IN THE BANK and NO SWISS TRUST. Are others culpable in this from wanting to believe you - yes, but none of them had anything other than the best intentions at heart. You sir, should take a long hard look at yourself. You belong in jail but we both know it will never come to that. Everyone.... All together now!! 'Oh he aint got a barrel of money, No Shares from Allen or Hulley, But he strung you along, The rumours were wrong, Geoffrey Sheard.' 'No he aint got a barrel of money, that's why its so bloody, funny, you thought you were rich! Oh what a bitch! Geoffrey Sheard.' 'No he aint got a barrel of money, No land of milk and honey, But what can we say, Let's laugh at Wed****day, Geoffrey Sheard.'
What a total giggle this is I might have to get my laughing ring tone working again. Absolutely hilarious!
I'll get slaughtered for this, but I can feel for them And so should any Barnsley fan who can remember the Lewis fiasco. Weren't we in a similar position, someone with no affinity to the club, promising funds to buy us out of Administration? Don't get me wrong, I have no love for the Fowls. But I know a few decent Wendy fans, who have supported the club for years, through the good and the bad, and I feel for them. I would love to see Wednesday playing Sunday League football on Athersley Rec. But I wouldn't wish to see any club go out of existence. And before anyone starts about arrogant Owls fans, it was one of their fans who walked 26 miles to Chesterfield to raise funds for us, when we were in Administration.
for every 1 decent wednesday fan there's a couple of hundred tossers. Its hilarious but will not put them out of business. It will keep them in limbo until DA eventually finds a way out or has a lucky season and they get to the prem.
You are far too nice It is just so funny how they continue to be a laughing stock, but I suppose no-one really wants them to go out of business permanently. A long spell in div 2 or the conference would be nice though.
It's just that I've always got the impression from Dave Allen he's a very astute businessman. It seems, to me, he wouldn't commit to selling his shares to anyone incapable of raising the necessary funds.
Stop it We're all having a good laugh at Wednesday, and you come on here with reason, and common sense...... no place for kill joys on this board. (NOOO)
Reading on the net, "it's all gone quiet over there" sheard doesn't look likely to be taking control. Deloitte (sp) seem to be looking elsewhere.
It reminds me of those daft ads you see The ones where it says "no timewasters". Absolutely side-splitting
Pee Turd Oil is the man for the job in my opinion, what with his Turkish businessmen investors waiting in the wings. ten million paaaaaaaaaarnds
