A devastating loss. Used to have regular contact with him and meet at away games and stuff. The old chat room on Rivals during a Wednesday match holds fond memories for me. An extremely funny, caring man. So full of love and kindness to give. Last time I saw him was at Burton in April and he was in top form. Little did we know what was around the corner. Thoughts are with Hollie and the rest of his family. I only know Hollie from his family and to see her appearance at PNE tells you everything you need to know about the character and resilience of the girl. It would have been so east to avoid the emotion of being there and the silence before must have been heart wrenching for her. Incredible spirit. RIP Steve

Dreadful news. Was the first person I met from Owlsonline. Was a reserve game at Stocksbridge. Lovely man.

Have a look where they were when he took over. He didn't save them last season, he barely got them out of the predicament he put them in. Without wanting to ridicule your suggestion, Harris would be a scandalous appointment.

Absolutely spot on with every post you've made in the last 24 hours.

Why would he completely torpedo an asset he could sell, albeit for a pittance? Ego?

Didn't he say additional money?

Wednesday points deduction incoming...

He doesn't really have much competition for that accolade, does he? If what we've been told on here is true about a 'brochure' being circulated listing the club for sale, maybe he should be communicating this to the fans. If he was to say costs have been cut as he wants out and he wants to keep losses to a minimum while he's still here, fair enough. The accounts were released and I thought, he's got us promoted against the smallest loss in years - bravo, albeit the previous season's accounts. We didn't overdo it last summer though. To then spend next to nothing after promotion says to me he's just keeping us ticking along. It's not a change of strategy at all. It's an exit strategy.

Excellent post.

I understand all that. It seems the damage to football outside the PL cannot be undone. What bothers me most is the next generation of Wednesday supporter. Live football is a sacred thing to me and thankfully I could find the money to pay and take my kids when it suits. Doesn't mean I will though. How many other kids will miss out on that or be taken somewhere else to experience it?

I still cannot believe the EFL have not capped ticket prices at £30 like the PL. How is it right that it costs £17 more to watch your team at Elland Road than it would do in the PL? £40 for me on the North to see us more than likely lose to fucking Ipswich? Not for me, Dejphon. I hope he's actively seeking a buyer and finds one sharpish.

Presume he means Duncan and Darren.

He's the only person willing to write a cheque for £13m a year to keep us afloat. Some hole in his wallet.

Technically very poor but effort and commitment cannot be questioned. Not sure he's a mainstay in a top 6 side. Played a part, albeit a small one in a promotion season for us so he goes with well wishes and hope he does well for you.

I'd be happy with Lang on a free.
