80s Owl

Sounds odd but I think win percentages are a poor stat to use, the fact Moore is up there in second confirms it.

Old spreadsheet Pete, you can get fucked if you expect his twaddle to remain on this forum the dodgy Danish gimp

 

Is that him who goes to about one match a decade and thinks all our fans are National Front supporting racists?

And it still means fuck all compared to Wembley 93

It doesn't mate and nothing ever will but they still harp on about it, thankfully Newcastle dicked em 8-0 on the anniversary so it might die down.

get over it

I've tried, it's not happening, best thing that's ever happened for them cnuts.

Want - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick or indeed Titch

Don't want - Carlos (can't forgive him for the 2-4), Warnock, Wilder 

Probably get - some random foreigner or Bullen

Bullen would be very underwhelming.

He will also sign old pals to get his appearance bonus, the bent pig bastard.

Paddy Kenny will be cleaning his boots in anticipation.

His interview with Staton last night was excruciating, despite his dreadful managerial record I felt a little sorry for the person in there.

Next installment of the shitshow coming soon.

There was a thread last season where baldy was over praising Moore, almost claiming that he's the best manager we've ever had (using his win percentage for evidence), the whole tone of the thread was if you agree you are a good person if you don't you are obviously racist 🤣 absolutely ridiculous.

It was Sunday Feb 13th 1994 at Old Trafford.

By the way just seen a post on there calling this site "the former dregs of owlstalk" like somebody who cant use a knife and fork calling a regular diner an idiot.

Was it baldy or one of his sycophants?

At least get the right Manchester club if you are being a twat. Saying that I always remember the bright sparks in our fan base doing the Dambusters theme at Old Trafford. It was one of the few times I was in an away ground genuinely going WTF this ain't good. Justice was quite swift I recall by the locals 

 

Went to that game (was it a Sunday match?) the atmos outside was vile, I was in the queue at a burger van when this Manc started squaring up to me, I said I'm getting a chesseburger you daft t***" 😀

I can't see us getting anything as after 9 league games I still can't see what the manager is trying to do, Sunderland cut through us with ease and then put their feet up, looking at the fixtures I can't see where a win is going to come from.

You know what I mean, away stand end. I used to sit on the North, liked it, good view. Wouldn't take my daughter on there though 

No I'm only joking mate, I know what you mean, I don't sit there myself but I am a nob head.

At the 75th minute it's at least 21.30 in a game where we've been absolutely toss and loads of fans have already left. You've screenshot the stand with the most expensive kids tickets (along with the South) where all the nob heads sit, can't imagine why there's no kids there 🤔

Oiiiii I sit there (then again the Mrs says I'm a nob head) 😃

But is Chansiri going to receive that message?

He only thinks in the extreme short term and he only thinks about money. His ticket pricing policy shows this. He’s not bothered about how his policy today affects attendances in 5/10 years time. 

Given that there’s going to be hardly any home tickets sold due to cost/performance, he’s already got his money this year whether 20,000 turn up or 2 - so a boycott will barely even register with him. 

The worry now is that his expected price rise in January, continued shit performances and threatening of fans puts season ticket holders off, and they find something better to do on a Saturday afternoon and never return.

 

This is true, the strategy is very short term.

Cost me £102 for three of us on kop Friday, and I'd do it again because it's Sheffield Wednesday I love and support, not the chairman, manager or current players. Boycotting does sod all 

It sends a message that you're not happy with the product if crowd numbers drop.

Is DC legally accountable to fund the club? I know he’s spat his dummy out big time but if he doesn’t put any money in surely the EFL will intervene?

were fucked.

Not sure how they can intervene apart from tipping him upside down and shaking the Baht out of his pockets.

The tennis ball protest spoke volumes.  What were there ?  30 or 40 balls on the pitch ??  

Reading Owls Talk before the game you would have expected there to be hundreds.  

 

That's probably all Hargreaves could carry.

It won't because they won't be there

I was thinking more of fans that are backing it rather than the instigators themselves.

The 1867 Group seem determined to carry on he battle, I can see some windmilling occurring tonight. 😃

And this is what I don’t get either.

If this 1867 Group know of (or are fronted by) a potential investor, then why the fuck aren’t they acting as a middle man or mediator to get people sat around a table, in order to find out what Chansiri wants? Following that, it might then be possible to put the wheels in motion and try and find an amicable way forward in acquiring the club.

For all we know Chansiri might well be prepared to take a substantial hit financially, but unless someone talks to him and can provide proof of funds to show they aren’t just tyre kickers, nothing is going to happen.

It’s not exactly fucking rocket science is it?

I think they're trying to back him into a corner and get the fans onside in the process, they've failed miserably on both counts. The direct Tweet (or X) to Bannan was nothing short of disgraceful.

It's interesting to note that NH is staying out of the conversations on 'Stalk, usually can't wait to stick his fat head in.

And I've never been one to advocate violence, but I'll make an exception for this mob, the 1867, the racists at the WTID Podcast, Hargreaves etc

I hope they get smashed up and down Penistone road

Not forgetting the idiot brothers. 

Get this on pay per view and I'm in 😃

Fair points. Human rights v responsibilities and the weighting of this is suspect whilst having common ground we may significantly diverge also lol

I guess regards Chansiri do we honestly think we’ve crossed the Rubicon now - I still think an upsurge in results will dampen down the anger and whilst I think the base of anti Chansiri as grown it’s not the majority of the base is my guess.

Why does anyone own a football club ultimately from abroad? I’ve always held him to us word it’s something he wanted to pass to his family. 
 

FFP rules screwed Chansiri in the first 3 years. Splashing the cash, innovative sponsorship injections and ultimately the ground sale are options now all dried up. 
 

Sustainable running of the club involves pricing, extra events (being planned), wage controls, success on the pitch and cup runs. It also involves having a talent production system that can be recycled generating revenue via selling players. Rehabilitation of old and young players is part of that. 
 

If you look over 8 years fine. But I think the second part of his ownership is more about the paragraph directly above - and that only started post covid restriction being lifted.

 

 

Sunderland are a decent example of how it can be done, they were arguably in a worse mess than us but now look like a team that will challenge and could get to the top flight in the next few years.
