Just what is happening at Sheffield Wednesday?
All I see on social media is infighting among our own fans and it’s all avoidable.
A simple statement would be enough to say we cannot spend any money because of this or that but we are trying our best to rectify the problem by downsizing the squad without trying to weaken the team.

This is what happens when someone takes over a club with no football knowledge at all.
First of all, Mr Chansiri formed some kind of advisory group containing Glen Roeder and a few other, supposedly football advisers.
Well, they went almost as soon as they came.
For whatever reason we’ll probably never know.
Then Doyen Sports arrived on the scene from out of nowhere.

From what I can see, now there’s no money to spend, because of Financial Fair Play regulations (FFP), all the advisors seem to have vanished.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we had a ready – made football man on our doorstep in Howard Wilkinson.
Had he been appointed general manager I’m sure we wouldn’t be in the state we now find ourselves.

Have I got this right?
The BBC want to give us some money but not as much as they normally do?
We will probably never know how much we really are in debt but I’m guessing a lot.
I read an article the other day about the boardroom battle for control and it stated that United are £20 million in debt.

All I want to say to Mr Chansiri is, think about your fans.
