Deal done according to him

Hendrick deal is done.

Your continued presence here would suggest otherwise.

I’m like KM. I’ll settle for staying up. I like that we’re thinking longer term so I’m setting my expectations and patience accordingly. As long as we improve game on game, DC will give him the players, we should be fine. It’s just not much fun in the short term.

Arseholes. Take it down would be my suggestion.

DC had a choice when he took over to plan for the future or to gamble on instant success. It was coming up to the anniversary, he had money, he was coming in as the new guy, he was always going to gamble. After the gamble failed, the team quickly fell apart, so for subsequent seasons what little spare money we had needed to be spent on trying to strengthen the squad then building for the future. He probably couldn’t believe he’d spent so much and was left with shit so quickly. Either way, again we can’t really build for the future. Then we get relegated and that brings pressure to get out of the division quickly, so our focus remains short term. Throughout this time, we are hampered by the financial restrictions brought about by having gambled and failed. We managed to get out of the league by the skin of our teeth and we all know that team isn’t good enough for the Championship. It’s too old, too slow, not balanced. This season is Chansiri’s second chance at having his first season again. We’re year 1 of FFP again and he could have a real go at it and buy seasoned pros, or he could look to build more long term, change the management and bring in someone who wants to blend experience with youth, believes in playing football that will excite you but someone who is realistic and can build something that might take 3 years but will set you up for years to come. I think Chansiri has chosen to look to the longer term, at his first realistic opportunity since the initial gamble failed. I forgive him for not building for the future since day one because when he came in we’d been through many years of absolutely shite football. Awful years of dross. That first year under Carlos was the best season in 20 years. Relative to what we’d had before, it was fantastic. He gave the manager a team that got within one game of the Prem. Chansiri didn’t bottle it. I think most of us would have voted “gamble” had there been a referendum before the investment started I think he’s a good owner that knew nothing when he came in and has tried his best and shown that he has learned. There isn’t much success about in football, so we can’t expect as much as we do. Sometimes we’ve got to enjoy the moments (beating Arsenal in the cup, Peterborough at home etc) because if we’re only judged on success, 98% of what we experience with Wednesday will ultimately be judged as failure. You’re never going to enjoy watching Wednesday if that’s the case. I don’t direct this at you, when I say you btw.

Gutted. Deserved a point.

I thought this was a bloody good interview from Xisco. He dealt with all the negative questions really well but also gave a good insight into what’s going on and what they want to achieve. He came across really well. Worth a watch

At what point do we consider it a Safeguarding issue?

Hoping to break Hoyland’s poor run of form by starting the match thread. Pineapples of all sizes welcomed.

Cardiff v Wednesday Match Thread.

That doesn’t suit the narrative.

He definitely has the potential. It’s the application that lacks.

Where on earth did you get that impression from? I thought he’d been very subtle about the subject.

Has Momo’s injury been confirmed?

This is a Spanish friend of mine who paints both walls and canvases. He’s an amazing artist and gets consent for all of his mural works https://instagram.com/sebasvelasco1?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/CjOLAYlN0wr/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs4Eu4DN9sT/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8dkjEtjwj/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Most get the owners consent for real mural works.

That’s amazing. How did you come to be involved with that? Haring is someone I’ve loved for years but I don’t have anything other than some old show posters from the 80s. I really admire Retna’s work but some of his views and rants are a little questionable. Hambleton’s art never really appealed to me. I met a few of the old school NYC artists like Futura and Seen at the Beyond The Streets preview earlier in the year.

Thanks for sharing.

Fista was the one who got me interested in graffiti and street art. He was on every bridge on the M1 from Wakefield to Sheffield in the late 80s.

Sheffield has some of the best graffiti artists around. Phlegm is a legend.

Ackworth.

You’ve got me there. I have no comeback for such a well constructed and reasoned response. Good luck with your GCSE results.

He will get more than 10 games. Maybe not with you but thankfully you’re not in charge.

Can we wait for the proof to either be in the pudding or not and you come back and say I told you so in another 7 games, rather than you ruining every conversation we have in here with negativity?
