Looking at the tweet 37 million pre Chansiri losses and a 24 million chunk linked to Covid years?

Seriously you going back 9 years and think we were building year on year? You’ve proved my earlier point. DC inherited a club with empty coffers and sadly for us FFP came into play just when we needed to spend big! The Orlando player as per the athletic article was sat in Sheffield and Blackburn won it because in part a range of stats were presented to him about chances created alongside the fact Blackburn were higher in the league. I have heard the rumours and it such examples that warp the anti Chansiri mob - I.e. like after the Barnsley defeat!

They are all scrambling for credit now.

And there you go! Your expectation of the owner is spend big if not go! Loan players make more financial sense for a club teetering on the edge! We have a few out contract that allows a rebuild and restructure on relegation. Ugbo, the striker we signed right at the start of window and then complained we had done bothering despite also securing a keeper right at the front! In one the slowest window yet seen where clubs are looking at FFP RULES and hunkering down? Ugbo as gone to club where we have 3 fellow French players in making him probably a far happier player. Our head of recruitment knew him from his Cardiff days. The player we went to get was a long term investment from Orlando not an immediate fix. We’ve signed 3 players this year who could allow us to cash in for a few million. The first half the year two those players were deemed awful by the anti Chansiri mob. We are slowly adjusting things do not happen overnight unless bought by a Saudi esk cash - and even then the rules mean it could be boom and bust again if your not lucky.

If we stay up it will be huge for the club and our short term future. The protest was fine last night - but ultimately we need to be sold for their demands to be achieved. Those who are not pro Chansiri or anti Chansiri appreciate this fact and the realities of this fact - I find a real mix in the anti Chansiri mob, openly racist, nationalistic, ignorant of the history of the last 9 years and then they are some who expectations of success are measured.

I don’t disagree by over 10,000 renewals and Pay Pal are happy to underwrite, us no mean feet. I suspect in absence of survival we will probably get 14k season ticket holders now. On the Coventry thing though they are where we were in the first 2 years of DC .. They recently hovered lower mid table in championship until last season push into playoffs - fuelled by quality players who they sold for 37 million and they spent all but about 7 million this season and are still not in playoff positions - they will if not promoted this year they have a 3rd bite of the cherry because of their trading! We ran out of a 3rd attempt because of DC biggest the lack of trading! Lets not pretend Coventry are all that!

Logic suggests that as a club our financial profile is poor not helped by the owner plea for 2 million this season! Like a lot of club at the moment alongside current economic woes we are hardly financially low risk ! Thus our existing merchant has probably balked at allowing credit cards for this season ticket window scuppering our December plans. Weve found a merchant willing to offset the risk in this case PayPal. It allows online card payment and indeed as some wonderful instalment options making it fan friendly - we took a while to get underwritten clearly this was the delay!! (I suggest at this point DC short term income plan to fund transfer may have impacted - I might be wrong!) However the problem with PayPal is offline infrastructure isn’t quickly installed and set up, tested or designed with probably compatible with our systems! So in our rush we went into sales with the stipulation that it had to be cash / cheque as out in store merchant were not willing to take the risk. Or PayPal wanted it indeed the lion share of payment through their system so we’re trying to force more online payments. Our local Journo never bothered to correct the rumours flying around about not being able to use CC which as fuelled alongside poor result anger.

If D.C. as financial woes it’s coming from the far east slow down I suspect.

Hard to watch once they scored that second and the flood gates opened. Watching the goals back and it’s makes it even worse!!

Now trying peddle the fact we are unable to take credit card payments as evidence we will go bust … ignoring the fact you can use credit card via pay pal and al need to do is set up account if you don’t have one. Suspect the fees for PP are more attractive than the current supplier thus the restriction on the paying in person and suspect we’ve not got the time to install the offline solution yet.

And another protest planned now due to season ticket prices. Whether you have agreed with us up to this point or not, it is now time to come together as a fanbase. The latest prices show the chairman hasn’t and isn’t willing to learn. Once again, the club has proven to be out of touch and shown little care for our supporters the lifeblood of everything great about Wednesday. Protest details for the Birmingham game will be announced this week. It’s simple, you know. Chansiri sell up and just go!

All renewed - as people pointed out prices slightly over 20/21 prices and slightly over the 2015 summer window prices. Would love it cheaper of course and I just hope if we ever get promoted prices don’t radically jump

Another trip to Coventry … bloody hell! Anyway if we don’t take 3k plus I don’t ever want to listen to some fucker moaning about the point system again!!

Stems from a couple of rumours .. like when DC nearly collapsed our season at Barnsley, Byers having cancer & then all the claims and counter claims about DC and DM - when trusty is spoken people complained about knowing. But you would hope it’s not true - but I can help think in the summer the same was said when few signings had come in.

So the group is starting issue threats due to the lack of activity in transfers. They are now actively spreading the rumour Rohl is going to walk. Got me thinking if Rohl walks due to lack of transfer activity - I don’t see how that reflects well on Rohl - it’s not like he expected large scale investment is it? Or would it be the chairman lied to me regards investment levels? Anyway there 9 days left of the window and one league game in between it - still plenty of time and not so risky in between and in the summer the signing came in later not earlier. The stirring up of fans base off the back of defeats seem to their modus operandi. Oh and clubs like Derby are playing on the fan base split to pressure the club into giving players away re Smith

That podcast in question also fall foul of decidedly edgy commentary when it comes to the owner as well. Stalk and the protest group supported acts targeted at the owner nationality to chase him out of the club recently as well.

Yea very very strong evidence - hard to dispute

Have a good un

They had 37 million injection in the summer via transfers and went on to spend 30 million on players - of which most of those players yesterday.

Valid points! re the June thing - see if the switch to the early bird was a LS decision when let’s face it we were on the brink - what annoys me is people who dislike D.C. have been in such an echo chamber they revised these facts and others and laid them at D.C. door. Once you’ve shifted cashflow for ST further up the calendar it’s very to break that I guess. The BoE calculator is probably an unfair comparator for football expenditures fan wise but it drives one point for me - some need to stop painting the owner as the devil incarnate! Oh a final point - pricing the young generation out of football … our attendance yesterday was really good given all the circumstances

Just a small point .. we weren’t in the PL in 2005/6

Cracking post on stalk about old season ticket prices - ” Putting the prices into the BoE inflation calculator makes an interesting comparison. 2005 North Stand is the equivalent of £662 in today's money and 2006 is £713. Equivalent for the kop is £546 and £586. So theoretically our prices are cheaper now than nearly 20 years ago.”

One song is now goes “it’s simple you know just sell up and go” yes its a song but fuck me it’s anything but simple! another song “we want our wednesday back” what the fuck does this mean - when did we ever have it!!

Price still not released! Not long before they go on sale now!

They have just now changed their story!!! ” We requested the minutes from our own meeting with the club be posted. This was immediately taken off the table by the club. We had also been told on numerous phone calls with the club that we wouldn’t be banned or face any legal action but they refused to put it in writing.“ Not like this group to get it wrong.. they keep of screwing up their releases and the more they do the more pork I smell!
