Embargo for Sheffield Wednesday

[NLG]

Looks like Wednesday need £2 million from supporters to pay tax man and wages.

Looks like 1st points deduction of the season may be on the cards, lets hope there are a few more !

Sheff Wed owner asks fans for £2m to pay debts

Really?

I'd rather do what we have to do on the pitch rather than wait for clubs to go mammaries up.

I'm surprise any Argyle fan would want another team to go through that (unless it's Milton Keynes).

 

[Voice of Reason]

I don't know about that Ian, when we lose out on players due to silly wages, that clubs can't afford I have no sympathy when this sort of event comes around.

Sympathy for genuine supporters as always, but lets not forget SW we're paying several players 20k a week and above in League 1, that's not right, especially when you have such large debts.

A season going from bad to worst for the Owls- totally feel for the fans

Mr Chansiri has a lot to answer for

Need to end the false funding of teams to get a fair playing field, how else will it happen ?

I think admin is a bit extreme.

Also, if it happens so be it, but wishing for it is a tad crass in my opinion.

I think administration is a real prospect for Wednesday. Wages were meant to be paid today and they have already defaulted with HMRC. I remember another chairman seeking money from fans to pay an HMRC bill. We all now know how that ended up.

Currently you can get 15/8 on bet 365 for them to finish bottom.

People conveniently forgetting what we went through.
Wanting a club the size of Wednesday to brought to its knees is shocking, and what about the average jo at the club?
Its the fans and the staff that suffer, the players will always be paid elsewhere, but the staff fall back on universal credit!
I would never wish a club to go through what we did, I just hope they sort themselves out.

For the Trustees, very badly Graham.

Never forgive him for that.

Their owner should whack £700k on that, he could pay their tax bill then

 

[TimHarris]

The real worry for Wednesday is if it came to it who would put them in administration? HMRC as the floating charge holder won't and Chansiri appears too much of a narcissist to give up control voluntarily.

Never boring is it?

He's a clown, simple as

 

[AdelaideGreen]

I feel very sorry for those employees who (it seems) are not being paid on time (not so much sympathy for the $20k/week players mind).
Payment of wages should be on time - not the Wednesday week after next.

I think this is a bluff and a go at the fans. £2million small change to a man who's family is hugely wealthy. Nevertheless not a healthy club.
