I suggest the fans source Ranmoor and look for some ten bob millionaires to fund the Club 

I even still own WTID Limited - available for a £1 if you want to put together a fan led consortium. It was barely a viable option 12 years ago, even less so now 

I probably disagree with the strategic direction he chooses to run the Club but I will never slag off the funds he puts in to keep this Club afloat and reasonably competitive 

Nick Parker tried that when he was CEO. Apart from the fact that most of the wealth in Sheffield lives out side the city  . The response was " What sort of return am I going to get on my investment" and what guarentees are on offer . Don't forget a number had been stung in the Dave Allen era ( loan repaid when we reach the premiership )

Latest,  Nigerian Business man Dozy turns out to be a bit dodgy .Now who would have guessed that

In the Star 8th June . They need another loan to pay the promotion bonuses and pay off some of the transfer debts 

Had to get another  payday loan from the Aussie " Vampire" bank guarenteed against  the premier League monies till 2026/2027 season. Poundland really needs t o sell as quick as possible or they are "f**ked "

If you go back to the playoff 2nd leg  If there had been VAR we wouldn't have needed extra time . There are are 4 bang on penalties and are further two possible . Our players were completely manhandled in the Peterboro box . The worst being the deliberate foul on Gregory just after he has taken the overhead kick . The Peterboro players comes in with a deliberate attempt to take him out after he has kicked the ball

Out since February with a dislocated shoulder and an operation with 4 pins?

The Grand Tour cycle lads (and lasses) dislocate their shoulder, shove it back in (usually themselves) in a minute or two and they’re back up and riding for another three weeks 

They will suffer for it in later life , Did mine playing Rugby still having problems years later

They used to,possibly still do,rent a suite of rooms at the stadium out for Speed Awareness Courses. Made a load of dosh out of that

Been there done that

SKY is getting worse . The Final was a new low ; we had

An instantly forgettable female anchor  who asked all the same old banal questions

Barnsley pundit-  a block of wood

Wednesday pundit Clinton Morrisson -the only ray of sunshine in this sorry bunch

Jobi McAnuff - another personality bypass straight out of the Jamie Redknapp school of the " Bleedin obvious "

I reckon Sky made more out of the so called penalty incident in order to generate a talking point in what was a rather mundane match . Sky seem to be getting more and more woke presenters who tick the boxes but are devoid of personality or knowledge of the game . Jeff Stelling replacement is bound to be a black , one legged lesbian

No arguement it was a sending off , the laws are quite clear . He lunges at Gregory . I think it is  to deflect criticism from  the Barnsley player  who missed the best chance of the match in extra time . I don't think we would have come back from that if he had scored

Philip Schofield turned down Spurs job as it might damage his reputation

One of life's Gentlemen , will be sadly missed 

Was in a bar in Vancouver early 90's had  a Sheffield Wednesday sweatshirt . Just the name no logo . this thick girl comes up and says " What does Wed-nes-day mean " You couldn't make it up

Was in Vegas 2003 - guy commented on my northern accent - "Where you From " - Sheffield  " Wednesday or United " Wednesday " Thank God for that "

Unbelievable night.  Moore got it exactly right.  Peterborough are a bit of a pinball team.  Their front three are good but their defence isn’t really up to much.  They let in more goals than Fleetwood this season and only two less than Oxford.  Which made the fact that we’d only managed one against them in three games all the more annoying.  Filling the starting line up with the players most likely to score and getting it forward quickly and putting their ropey defence under pressure was absolutely the right approach.  Ferguson’s half time subs seemed a little defensive.  I think he bottled it a bit.  .

Peterboro Pundit on BBC thought Ferguson panicked at half time and went all defensive . Bit rich from him complaining about added time should have a word with his keeper then . Reece James MOM

Malta is the single most corrupt mafia governed country in the EU.

Apart from the 3 baltic states,  Slovenia , Cyprus,  Hungary , Bulgaria , Romania , Italy and Spain

Unlike Sheffield Oxford does not have a traffic system designed by a demented monkey on acid 

It's a bit rich coming from a newspaper that once had the banner headline " Hurrah for the Blackshirts "

And something I hadn't realised - that BHP had not sought re-appointment as the Wednesday auditors. 

Citing the retirement of the partner with football sector expertise 

I suspect with everything that went on with Wednesday, the EFL etc and the accounting treatment of the stadium sale being challenged as wrong, that the "retirement" may have been accelerated by the stress of it all 

To be honest having had dealings with BHP in the past they would not be my choice as auditors

He’s just tweeted, he’s back on MOTD this weekend 

Shame

Talked with a tax expert yesterday he seems to think Lineker may have a hidden agenda . His court case with HMRC  hinges on whether he is freelance he says he is ,HMRC say he isn't . Is he trying to back the BBC in to a corner to try and get them to strengthen his case as a freelancer

What gets me is he is called a " much loved presenter " by the media . Every one I know think he is an overpaid arrogant Knob

Lineker is like all critics of any Government - Very easy to Criticize but never come up with a workable solution . Just think of how many asylum seekers Gary could fund if he paid his taxes

Is this the same Gary Lineker currently in a court case with HMRC over £5 million in unpaid taxes and Ni

To be honest we could do without most of the pundits as they are all from the school of the bleedin obvious , some are so clueless they have to be prompted by Lineker

Isn't the phrase " Star reporters" a contradiction in terms
