DAVE ALLEN: what I really think about Wednesday fans. Exclusive.

Allen has endured a barrage of criticism for seeking the identity of 13 people whose alleged libellous action he has blamed for threatening to destabilise the club.

Today he talks exclusively to The Star about his real feelings towards the 22,000-plus loyal Hillsborough fans that make up one of the biggest fan bases in the country; the personal abuse and attacks levelled at him and his family, and the Wednesdayite share issue that he says has caused the collapse of two multi-million pound life-saving takeover deals and threatens the future of the club.

Dave Allen - like the fans - says he has one goal as chairman of one of the region's largest clubs: "I just want to put SWFC back where they belong - in the Premiership, playing fantastic football."

No one said it would be easy as chairman of a football club - the recent assault on MUFC manager Sir Alex Ferguson shows exactly what life can be like in the soccer industry firing line.

But the man who saw off the takeover bid of Ken Bates at Wednesday and who has endured personal attacks on his family and his property says he is determined to see the job of getting SWFC back to the Premiership through to the end.
