Ah the Irony, it's as thick as butter here.

Exactly, so there is no point getting at the club for ignoring the letter when the match gong fans have ignored it too.

Please explain why you would think that when Sheffield Wednesday are desperate for every penny.

No tickets on the day is a Sheff Wed decision (why this has become a thing across the division post Covid I’ve no idea when few games sell out), not being able to buy one for almost a week before the game (didn’t realise there were six bank holidays between the 23rd and 29th) is obviously ours.

Wouldn't be surprised if Steve McClaren got it. Ex Oxford player and coach, just come available after leaving Jamaica.

Just because Pears hasn't thrown one in for a bit, doesn't mean he won't soon. Toth is our number one because he's superior to Pears for many reasons, but one of those is that he makes far fewer mistakes than our hair transplant victim.

Would he go back?

I'd happily send TGH back, runs about a lot doing not much, cant fault his effort, but there isn't a lot of end product. As a box to box midfielder, he is behind Cantwell, Morishita & (judging by recent performances) Baradji in that role, and doesn't have the positional sense or discipline to play the Tronstad role. Personally feel he was brought in as cover because Baradji was injured, and has served his purpose

Gueye, Garrett, Barrett, one of Ribeiro or Pickering,. Do we keep TGH on loan? that would give is 2 or 3 spots for signings. One of these signing could be under 21 aged signing

I think we deffo need another striker and centre back signing. maybe a wing back depending on Miller and Litherland plus getting rid Gueye for sure, maybe De Neve on loan. Maybe Ribeiro and keep Pickering

If O'Riordan is recalled, then we currently have 0 spare slots. In fact, we also have to factor in Garrett (who returned from injury recently) & Barrett (whose loan ends in January). Although I wouldn't expect either of Garrett or Barrett to be in the 25, we could well have 27 players who need to be considered (be that selling/loaning out etc) before we think about bringing more in Toth, Pears, Barrett Wharton, Carter, Miller, McLoughlin, Pratt, O'Riordan Hedges, Pickering, De Neve, Ribeiro Alebiosu Cantwell, Tronstad, Morishita, Baradji, Gardner-Hickman, Henriksson, Forshaw, Tavares, Garrett Ohashi, Gudjohnsen, Gueye, Kargbo * anyone not mentioned above (Montgomery, Litherland etc) is young enough not to be included in the 25

My take on it is he might have spat his dummy at the scrutiny he's now under and taken some extra family time away on an already pre arranged trip. Before he comes back and just carries on regardless. I think we can be sure that won't won't be happening is him going over there telling them straight what's going on and what we need. Nor will it be them summoning him to explain the mess that has unfolded since their summer cashing in exercise. Unfortunately.

Pears communication skills is something he lack. He needs to louder and shouting from his position.

That’s a crazy role but it is what it is and we have to be cognisant of that. Regarding our best starting 11, that’s not only a pretty good team but we would have decent players on the bench to bring on. As it is at the moment they are stating for us and our options from the bench are pretty average.

Manning going back would be my bet

Interesting.

Rowett couldn't get them higher but I'm not sure that squad is any better than relegation choices. Will be interesting who they actually appoint. Michael Beale would be awful choice.

It’s very simple. The wages are paid and there’s a team in blue and white running around Ewood Park, whilst that is the case a good few thousand will turn up, plus they’ll buy a pie if they fancy and they’ll buy some tat from the shop if they fancy and that’s that. There is no point in wasting energy in worrying about changing minds of such folk.

if we could get that starting 11 on the pitch then its be top 6/challenging for top 6 2 short? we got Miller, McLoughin, Wharton, Carter, Pratt, plus possible O'Riordan on recall then add Litherland and Atcheson surely 1 is enough. Plus we need to factor in the 25 players register rules. We only have 1 spare spot currently unless we move players on

He is good for the lols though 😉 https://www.ibroxnoise.co.uk/2024/02/ex-rangers-manager-caught-with-pants-down/

Won't this be a decision by Sheffield Wednesday not us?

Supporters want to carry on to back the players inside Ewood Park. You are never going to stop people buying from the club shop or concourse what was the replies?

Replacing an experienced Championship manager like Gary Rowett with Michael Beale would be like one obvious example we could all think of! Very silly indeed.

Fingers crossed he gets it, That would be a second relegation spot (after Sheff Wed) sorted then 😉

What I want and what will happen are different things. Of course I want a functioning leadership at the club with appropriate powers. Just not likely IMO - more interested if Pasha is “on the naughty step” and if we will see a short term return to the faux stability whilst the heat dissipates or if the timing is purely coincidental
