Sheffield Wednesday

Dejphon Chansiri: Sheffield Wednesday owner says he will stop funding club after 'insults' - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66958019

Southend are back in court next month for their next battle to avoid being wound up.

Not many interested in this ...... most posters seem to want rid of our owners, how does that work?

I'm quite happy playing this football in the Championship but want promotion just so the owners get most of their money back and Rovers becomes a saleable assett.

What happens if they simply stop subsidising the club, turn the tap off?

Who pays the bills and wages etc, circa £20m per month?

Probably because we’ve been over it numerous times over the years.

I think it’s more like £20 Million a year and that’s only the case because of their own mistakes.

I've never seen it discussed in detail, as in what will be the process. No doubt it was self inflicted but that's irrelevant now.

[JohnD]

I don't know the process but guess/assume that the bills, wages, tax don't get paid. If nobody steps in there'll be a winding up order?

VLL will sell asserts to recoup whatever they can and we'll become another Bury?

Is that it or is it a completely different scenario?

Over the years I'd have welcomed that to remove Venky's but now, with this manager and brand of football it seems like a travesty, we're getting somewhere.

Another venky worship thread.

Just what we need.

Nonsense. If you can't contribute just move on.

Of course it’s relevant- it’s an explanation for why they have to do the funding we should all be so grateful for.

I’ll never be grateful to owners for only doing the bare minimum tbf. It’s like all this FFP business in the news today. If key players hadn’t left on free transfers, it wouldn’t even be a discussion point.

As ever, all roads lead back to Pune.

[JohnD]

As I have said it was self inflicted, no question.

It isn't relevant if they with old funding.

I must have read that view a thousand times! Started roughly 12 years ago. Called it Stockholm Syndrome then and can't improve on that description.

I know what Stockholm syndrome is.

If you've read this you'll that it's about what happens if Venky's stop the cash.

Do you know?

Nobody knows but the possibilities have been gone over time after time on here. Its not like there's no examples to go on is it?

Heard of Phoenix clubs? Seen what's happened at Bolton or AFC Wimbledon or Rangers for that matter.

Its not over when Venkys let us down for the last time.

Do you know either?

The future is not bright under their tenure,that is for sure.

Repeat ad finitum.

we are going nowhere with venkys,swag and various clowns in the background

they have cut jdt off,just when we get an excellent manager who,with a decent budget would have got us promoted

incidentally whenever we get a decent side the indians decide to **** things up by selling the managers  best players (rhodes,cairney and gestede),give them away for free or cut the managers budget

there is no way jdt is going to stop,by next march i fully expect jdt to announce he`s leaving at the end of the season

Yes,  I often wished them gone so we could start again, we'd be well on our way now.
