Retired housing and social care chief executive.Ramble and rant about nonsense, politics and Sheffield Wednesday but not necessarily in that order. Always got something to say, mostly rubbish but always kind.
Sheffield and Thornham
I don’t think genuine buyers ever existed.They rarely do.United struggled even as a Prem Club, Derby couldn’t find one until a billionaire fan bought them out of Admin. Mandaric could only find DC and all those years back it took MM to rescue us at the door of the Court when Allen couldn’t find one.

If they ever existed they would have shown themselves when we went into Admin surely. Wigfield gave the impression they existed and it could end up with an auction. All his talking up was just the professional fluff he had to say in an attempt to generate some interest and get cash in.

Feel so sorry for the lad. There is a real classy player inside. It’s just clear his body can’t take it.

Maybe the Trust should organise a boycott 😂😂

There was a time, not too long ago, that I dreamt that if I won the Lottery I would buy Wednesday 😂😂 Don’t think winning every lottery in the world on the same day would even get a meeting with the Club these days. Money has destroyed the game. Now I really am sounding like my late dad !!

Using the word ‘cuts’ is a far more economical,accurate and efficient use of the term.

At 61 after 43 years of work the only negotiation I was thinking about was retirement and how I was going to spend my time 🤣

So true. What I cannot understand, because I must be wired differently, is why anyone as rich as Ashley already is would want to take on something that might make him even richer. He’s 61, just take to his yachts and catch some rays or cure homelessness or hunger. How much more does he want and why?

May not be an option but a real possibility as Club will run out of money next month.
December 20, 2025 at 9:24 AM
Give it a year or so and we will probably be reminiscing about the good times under DC. Why on earth do we think we will get a good owner. Fairy godmothers are fictional. Anyone with the money to buy a Club these days should automatically fail the fit and proper person test (because they won’t be) 🤣

Seems likely it’s either him or being wound up. No one else interested.

Buying and running an established Premiership Club for £134m is a bit different to paying c£20m for a L1 Club with a decaying stadium that hasn’t sniffed the Premiership in 25yrs. It’ll certainly prove if he is a good business man or not.

My Driving Licence came in the post yesterday. I didn’t even know I had lost it. A stranger must have picked it up at somewhere at Chatsworth House or Park and handed it in. Envelope was franked by Chatsworth. Proper restored my faith in folk. Thank you strangers.

Thought they promised a fan buyout if no one came
along 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can’t wait to hear from the Trust on this one if it’s true.
December 19, 2025 at 3:42 PM
Always suspected he was.

Pugh! Pugh! Barney McGrew! Cuthbert! Dibble and Grubb will feel justifiably insulted.

Wonder if the the elephants might be about to be replaced by bald eagles ? #swfc
