Every time I think, that it can't get worse, it actually does!! Never better, always worse.

It's wonderful that Big Tuna poured lots of his own money in, I'm grateful for the very few positives he brought to us. truth is, the honeymoon was over years ago and he's been riding his own coat tails since.

We all gave him the benefit of the doubt as he stated he was learning on the job to run a football Club. However, at this point it seems he's either a shady, corner cutting businessman or he's simply a complete buffoon, easily pushed over by administrative crooks within his employ.

Either way he is responsible and at this stage he is not taking the Club forwards and is, in fact, jeopardising it currently.

Smartass Smartass Smartass Smartass

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club has today filed its response to the charges brought against it by the English Football League for alleged misconduct concerning the sale and leaseback of Hillsborough stadium and the inclusion of the profit on that sale in the Club’s 2017/18 accounts. The Club has informed the EFL that the charges are themselves unlawful and, without prejudice to that fact, are all denied by the Club and the other Respondents.

The Club has reserved all of its rights against the EFL and will take all such actions as are necessary to protect its rights and integrity, and those of its current and former officers, including in relation to inaccurate reporting. The Club has also notified the EFL that it stands ready to bring a claim against the EFL to obtain compensation for its conduct.  


The Club maintains that it consulted with the relevant executive officers of the EFL in connection with the stadium transaction and that it acted in good faith. The Club has in its possession numerous emails, letters and other documents in which the EFL gave authorisation to the transaction, and on which authorisation the Club understood it could rely. That authorisation gave rise in law to a legitimate expectation that the transaction would be accepted by the EFL, which is binding on the EFL. The EFL is acting in breach of that binding legitimate expectation by retrospectively treating as misconduct that which it had itself previously authorised, and this makes the charges themselves unlawful. The Club is accordingly bringing its own claim against the EFL to establish that it is acting unlawfully, as well as standing ready, if necessary, to vigorously defend the charges.  

The Club will make no further comment at this time.

Win or lose the EFL will punish us as they're above or outside the law apparently.

It's just exhausting. Let's just try to focus on the pitch results and come what may

Re FF being cleared in court but found guilty by these wankers Doh can't wait for them to bring in the ducking stool or maybe throw them in the river and if they float they are guilty Doh

I don’t know what to make of that statement from the club!! While I like the fighting spirit and the ascertain that we have evidence to show the EFL gave us permission to do what we did, the tone that clearly says we will essentially go legal on the EFL seems a bit antagonistic against a body that doesn’t do well with threats!! I just don’t have a good feeling about where this is going.


RE: Thread to talk about football and wednesday in general - Statesideowl - 05-12-2019

Exactly, Charlie

The indignation and impunity of the EFL is staggering.

I'd rather stop shoving a stick in the lions cage as this lot have already made an example of us.

It's not fair but it's just like the real world now, with small to average clubs having no rights, as the lower classes. And those at the top enjoying all the benefits including exemption from criminality, such as the ruling class.

Iorfa named POTM.

Regarding the off-field stuff, even if we are found innocent, the EFL will probably find some way to punish us. Like most football authorities, they are corrupt.

Thats not a good sign of anything, hopefully it was just an admin issue rather than anything more sinister.
