Not wanting to turn this into a bitch fest as this is a celebration of our tremendous support. The CEO and owners couldn’t care less Matty, we are a far cry from the John Williams and Tom Finn days sadly. The frustrating part is we don’t have to be, bringing in qualified people who care is relatively cheap, which adds more weight to this all being orchestrated failure.

As Matty says above, you rarely get less than 1000 away fans following us these days, which as a far cry from the 200/400 I’ve seen at Liverpool, Old Trafford and Goodison in the not to distant past. It would be normal at any other club to do some market research on those that go away, are they local based that don’t attend home games due to useless owners? Or something else? But that will never happen as nobody cares enough. Support has been tremendous all season home and away for me, great effort by all concerned and shows just what the club means to many.

Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

Loyal to Wednesday, I’m told he’s on £20k per week, highest paid player in league 1, which puts him over our wage structure. Good player, sublime pass for the goal last night, good shout Aqualung. -

Lads a good player, but we couldn’t afford his wages. -
One thing we do know is Venkys won’t have a plan, the best we can hope for is that Waggott does, which again puts this once great club in an awful situation. The marketing strategy - release season tickets, release the manager but don’t tell him he’s leaving and release half the team back to parent clubs with no plan to replace them. You can only imagine season tickets are flying out the door, but seriously it just goes to show this income and loyal fans support, doesn’t matter to these owners and it never will.

I don’t think we need to look much further than this post by @bigdogsteel above for the answers. Mowbray knows the lad, realised he wasn’t up for the fight and would have sold him but for meddling owners, the rest is history. I firmly believe the £3m Bournemouth offered, reinvested in Jan, would have seen the club in playoffs, but we’ll never know.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19886613.amp/ They should have let the manager manage, £3.5m could have made the difference as we all know his money buys have mostly been outstanding. -

Just over £3m was turned down by meddling owners.
