boboskins Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 the spirit of the team has also spread into the stands and the kop and Owls are no longer moaning about the board but getting on with the business of cheering Wednesday on at every match. Wasn't much of that on Monday from my position in the North Stand. Mr & Mrs '1 game a season' numpties behind me slagging em off at every occasion. He especially disliked that Right Back, who i had to point out to him was a Mr Frank Simek seeing as he didn't know his name, who has hardly put a foot wrong all season and was having a poor game to be fair but it wasn't just him! Yes it's nice when we get bumper crowds but if all they do is moan and keep quiet (like a library as rightly pointed out by the Hull fans) then i for one can't wait for the home games against the likes of Southend, Plymouth & Colchester surrounded by a sea of blue seats!

Kinda with you on this one fella. Where me and me 'ol Daddy used to sit last season we had this penis sat behind us every game who had nothing positive to say whatsoever. Fair enough it wasn't exactly a feast of football by any stretch of the imagination but whenever he used to get really worked up, so did his voice; like my bird when I ate her 'Muller Amore' that time. Really irritating! "If you are disliking it that much then DON'T F***ING COME ANYMORE!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Alex Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 ,so did his voice; like my bird when I ate her 'Muller Amore' that time. Really irritating! Love that . It's a fact of life I'm afraid with the big game/festive season mob. They're always the ones with the noise, unfortunately it's not good noise. These people love a good moan and must scrape up their entrance fee relishing the thought of slagging off our lads for 90 mins. They're not good for anything, that's why away games are so much more enjoyable for the true supporters. Ban em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madowl Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Casino boss in owls buyout talks EXCLUSIVE By Martin Smith sheff star SHEFFIELD Wednesday are to open takeover talks with a mystery multi-millionaire casino owner. Owls chairman Dave Allen will begin negotiations later this month when the unnamed foreign businessman will be offered the chance to buy the club. In an exclusive interview with The Star Allen revealed he and club finance director Bob Grierson have been talking to potential investors about pumping cash into Wednesday - which still has overall debts of £26million. "We are not looking for small-time people, we are looking for a mega-rich businessman like Roman Abramovich at Chelsea who wants to buy a football club for a hobby," said Dave Allen. "Bob and I have been talking to interested parties and I shall be speaking again to someone from overseas in the third week of January," said the owner of Sheffield's Bonaparte's and Napoleon's casinos and Owlerton Stadium. "This man has made money from casinos overseas and has vast wealth. At the moment things are at a very sensitive stage but someone like that on board would really help the club." Allen and fellow directors Geoff Hulley and Keith Addy own around 30 per cent of the club between them. The Owls chairman insists investors will need £25million to buy control and any planned talks will again open up the issue of share ownership. The club's scattered share spread has proved to be a stumbling block to proposed takeovers and a potential new owner would find it difficult to obtain a controlling 51 per cent stake. The fans group Wednesdayite owns 10 per cent of shares and has so far resisted Allen's attempts to buy them back - including a recent offer of £500,000 which would then be converted into transfer cash. "In my experience investors want a return on their money," said Allen. "They would want control of the club for that kind of investment. "There are one or two people interested in investing in the club but we have to have 51 per cent of the shares to be able to sell it on. I have been buying up shares and I will continue to do so. We need to reach that 51 per cent." Dave Allen also confirmed the club is still negotiating with Sheffield City Council over its £10 million plans to build homes on the Middlewood training ground. "I spoke to Sir Bob Kerslake just before Christmas on the planning issue and we are trying to progress it," he said. "There is no time frame on it but we are doing our best."

If things are at a 'very sensitive stage' as Allen points out, then why jeopardise it by blurting the story out to the newspapers?
