Why's he so interested? I couldn't give less of a fuck what's happening at West Brom

Pulled from a Podcast about goings on in the EFL by the looks of it so probably reviewing all goings off.

Good that he seems quite knowledgeable.  I would imagine a lot of the players know each other so word gets round.

“Jed Wallace, the West Bromwich Albion captain, has likened the off-the-field issues at Sheffield Wednesday to storylines from soap opera 'EastEnders'.”

Nothing changes. Not for Wednesday, not for nearly a quarter century anyway.

Something in recent events reminder me of a quote in the local (midlands) press that left me a bit saddened at the time, from when Danny Sonner left Wednesday for Birmingham City in 2000. Not so much the departure, but what he said.

“Sonner arrived at Blues on a free transfer this week from trouble-torn Sheffield Wednesday which, he says, was more like a soap-opera than a football club. “

Bit like watching Danny Sonnor then.

Boring, dull footballer.

Funny that people think if you criticise the chairman it makes you a pig or not a proper supporter. There's nothing wrong in wanting the best for the club, i just can't see that ever happening while Chansiri is here.

Also makes no sense why Jed Wallace would be spouting 

Maybe it's more to do with DC's lack of competence why people outside of the club are starting to talk about us/him etc?

Best for the club! Are you taking the piss now?

Highlight a positive post from yoursen

Wallace knows nothing about Wednesday beyond what he sees in the media, can't imagine he's crossed paths with many of our lot given his career to date. More likely than anything he's heard some "pro DM, what a **** DC is" bs from inside his own club.

I'd also argue there has been very little criticism of DC in the wider media until very recently.

The media is completely driving this, post DM's sacking, and the sheep simply suck at their tit.

This. We're not famous or Premier League enough any more for the national rags to bother doing any real investigation. They just take what the local journos say as gospel on a slow news day.

If Haaland had done his ACL last night and we went into admin this morning, we wouldn't even register nationally.

DC asks fans for £2m - which went national once the Stir misquoted him. ?

Did they misquote him. Not seen any retraction on that or the Club dismissing the story.

I think the fact it got picked up by the Thai media was a pivotal moment

CLUB STATEMENT:

Which brings me to the situation of fans donating money to save your club. When I was asked what would happen if money owed to me was not paid in time, I said if 20,000 fans paid £100 each it would resolve the issue. I was making the situation totally clear if I did not have the available funds but ultimately it did not come to that.

THE STAR

 "...going on to ask fans to donate around £2m in order to cover the cost of player and staff wages..."

So A completely hypothetical question and answer is reported as "Chansiri asks fans for £2m"

That's just what he says, he has a history of talking absolute bollocks but here are his quotes taken from the article

Sheffield Wednesday Dejphon Chansiri fans HMRC wages (thestar.co.uk)

Reading the article, which is a garbled mess as none of it's in order, it's pretty obvious that it's hypothetical.

They also left the questions asked out, just posting the replied, which is dodgy at the best of times, especially with hypothetical questions.

 

Journo: "What would you do if Hillsborough was full of zombies"

DC: "I'd lock the gates and burn it down"

Headline: "Chansiri hates Hillsbourough and wants to burn it down!"

Its Betts isnt it?

 

Lived his whole life sucking on the taxpayer's tit.

 

Suspension[edit]

In 2003, Betts was suspended from the House of Commons for seven days for irregularities involving the employment and visa of Jose Gasparo, a Brazilian student with previous experience as a male escort.[7] The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on 10 July 2010 that Betts' partner and parliamentary assistant, James Thomas, had tried to edit this fact from Betts' English Wikipedia page in an attempt to cover it up.[8]

Betts was found guilty of breaching the MPs' code of conduct, with the Standards and Privileges Committee stating that he had acted "extremely foolishly" and had risked damaging public confidence in the integrity of Parliament. Particular concerns involved his failure to disclose Gasparo's background to parliamentary authorities and the fact that Betts had knowingly photocopied an altered document on Gasparo's behalf.[9] Betts gave an "unreserved apology" in a personal statement to MPs when the report was published.[10]

Expenses[edit]

In 2003, Betts was subject to criticism for his accommodation expenses after he had previously campaigned for an increase in MPs' entitlements on the ground of "hardship". It was reported by The Times that Betts had "flipped" his designated second home to Yorkshire before buying a "country estate" there, before "flipping it" back to London and taking out a larger mortgage on his flat there.[11] Betts denied wrongdoing, arguing the Yorkshire property had been "two dilapidated listed buildings" and that when he became a whip he had to declare his main residence as his London flat.[12]

In 2004, he was criticised by the British Medical Association for going to Portugal with 15 fellow MPs on an all-expenses trip paid for by the fast food chain McDonald's. Betts responded that if MPs had a "puritanical" attitude about food then people would ignore what they said.[13] He faced further criticism in 2010 after it was reported that he was one of eight MPs who were renting out a "second home" in London while claiming for the cost of renting a '"third home" in the city at taxpayers' expense. Although legal, critics argued the "loophole" was allowing MPs to increase their income after the rules on parliamentary expenses were tightened.[14]

Betts employs his partner as his Senior Parliamentary Assistant on a salary up to £45,000.[15] He was listed in articles in The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian which criticised the practice of MPs employing family members, on the lines that it promotes nepotism.[16] Although MPs who were first elected in 2017 have been banned from employing family members, the restriction is not retrospective – meaning that Betts' employment of his partner is lawful.[17]

My MP, though I think he's going to retire.  I suspect he was one of the 'Gang of Six' Wednesdayite M.P.s, a long time back. If I'm remembering right, that would have left one-time Sports Minister Richard Caborn as the only Blade Sheffield M.P. 

Just something for the 'credit' column: I see him all over the country regularly watching Wednesday. Not in with the prawn cocktails either.

He was one of that lot.
