Sheffield Wednesday to approach Coventry to speak to Steven pressley before the weekend. you heard it here first

Yorkshire owl

1.) It will be Holloway!!


2.) Would love it to be holloway but can't see it too much in past but he's the only decent one available WHICH WILL DO A JOB HERE


3.) Rumours are we're signing matty fryatt in January with Kirkland going the other way


4.) Pressley is most exciting name mentioned on here he would be brilliant and ought to be affordable.
Done wonders at Coventry with less than nothing to spend which should work for MM. GO GET HIM.


5.) Not quite right, Yorkshire Owl!
We have approached Coventry, but only to talk about Maguire's return on Xmas day. Nothing to do with their manager coming to S6.
That's how rumours start!
Sleaford Owl


6.) It will be an out of work manager as there's no money for a payoff and
Holloway won't touch MM with a stick


7.) Steven Pressley new favorite to be next Wednesday boss according to Eurosport news. I don't know much about him but he can only be better than Dave Jones.


8.) I would have agreed with you regards Holloway, but he is now joint fav with bookies, been heavily backed in. And the bookies don't often get it wrong, Gray's price is only so short because he has already had a few games in charge. We can hope for Holloway.


9.) Pressley would be good just can't see Coventry letting go easy and will Milan be prepared to dig deep enough to get him I have my doubts.

I don't know if many of you know but mm was one of the first company's that made Silican valley in america what it is today I've just got back from America and in the usa today paper in the airport it says Advanced micro devises are keen on the idea of investing but not a full takeover.

Yorkshire owl

1.) Yes so wots that got to do with us sweet f. a that's wot mm as ad his fingers in a lot of pies over the years that's like saying I so terry curran at owls match with radio sheffield bet u will be saying he goingto be next manager


2.) Terry Curran - Wednesday Legend!


3.) Calm down big man. its a shame that a minority of so called wednesday fans slag each other off people you ain't even met if the players acted in same way you'd all be kickin off so things aren't going our way big deal its just a game try being a bit positive it hurts us all that our great club ain't doing the business


4.) Hoping I switch tv on at lunchtime and hear Dave Jones has been sacked

Come on Milan get rid


5.) 2pm Monday just looked at Sly and Jones has not been sacked

Bottom of the league can't win a game

And before the Mandaric supporters club starts having a go, STOP
It's his club he is responsible for trusting Jones and letting him ruin this club and he needs to sort it out

Glenn hoddle was at hillsbrough today and I had my picture taken with him near the mega store. how do you upload pictures on this site

Yorkshire owl

{Ed003's Note - go onto player sightings and follow the instructions }


1.) Beni carbone is on ssn fenners and merse show wednesday night with paulo dicanio is this just coincidence that he's in the uk hmmmm who would like to see these two managers of the massive I know I would


2.) So i'm guessing this photo is not happening as it was posted at 12 and its nearly 8 lol unless your pc is from 1993 I smell lies uto xxx

{Ed003's Note - The tech guy is not available at the moment to deal with photo uploads xxx.}


3.) The tec guy has a long lunch

{Ed003's Note - A long flight actually smarty pants.}


4.) If this is true ill be shocked, only today there have been murmurings that Hoddle is lined up to replace AVB at Spurs in the summer once AVB payoff clause (around £2.5m per year til summer 2014) has decreased.


5.) Still waiting to see that photo. Looks as thought its not going to be uploaded, ether that or its a long flight


6.) Why would he be at Wednesday store anyway.

Thanks dj for the buzz of promotion except from my kids being born I can't not remember a time were I was as buzzing as that day but from then on we have gone back words. Mm finally you have done the right thing now get somebody with Wednesday in there blood. Chris waddle David hirst des walker what a dream team. I'd go for di canio

Yorkshire owl

1.) What a load of bull!
Hirst, waddle and walker what planet are you on?
Tell you what why not also invite hodge, bannister, Cunningham, mad don, chapman, stainrod, Shelton, viradi, sterland and so on and so on!
Wow what knowledge some people have NOT!


2.) Waddle has recently signed for Hallam as a player and not done anything as a manager since his brief attempt. He was knocking about in the Wragg over 40's league as a player up until he recently signed on with Hallam, my old man played against him past few years in the Wragg League, it's a graveyard of ex pro and semi pro players haha.


3.) It does make you wonder why so many fans want ex players as manager. Can't think of many occasions where this has brought success? NB

What a laughing stick mm borrowing money from everywhere that's why there's no takeover the would have to pay mm and about 5 other people. I thought mm was worth a lot of money £80 to a £100 million I read. What I want to now is weres all the money gone from the season ticket sales and all the merchandise that is sold. what is happening to our grate club. And before all you mm lovers get all angry I for one is gratefull to mm but the deal was to get us out of dept not in it.

Yorkshire owl

1.) I'm going to say something here that as usual will be unpopular, as usual I will get slated but anyone with sense will see it as a valid point. I, like any fan, would like to see the squad improved, I like a lot of fans think that DJ has made some poor decisions and while I'm not a fan of chopping and changing managers I think if the right man wants the job then it would be wise to show DJ the door. But.

MM bought the club for £1, cleared £7m (at least) of debt that needed paying yesterday, the club avoided administration, some OK first team signings made (alongside some baffling ones and players going who could perhaps have been better used by DJ) and the scouting network, youth (development) system vastly improved (we hardly had one in place for the past decade) and the coaching staff and other necessary behind the scenes setup has been invested in for the first time in years. So all in all MM borrowing £3m to further develop the entire club structure if done wisely and within our budget and needs is far more sensible than owing millions to various third parties which is long overdue and (as with HMRC) could eventually see a winding up order placed on the club. That eventuality was a very realistic and serious prospect, don't kid yourself otherwise, just look at Darlington, Coventry, Rangers, Plymouth, Portsmouth etc etc and you will see that HMRC only give clubs so long to get their house in order then they want that money no matter the cost to the club. Then look at some of the proposed take over consortiums that previously looked at taking the club on before MM did so, one name regularly linked to the club was Russ Green (along with Chris Turner). Now Russ used to run a sports store near me and was a director of Scarborough who collapsed like a black hole (I am not inferring that Mr Green was to blame but merely pointing out the association) and latterly involved on the board of Hartlepool who have again suffered in recent history with debt and at the wrong end of the football pyramid (again I must point out that in no way am I saying Mr Green is to blame but pointing out his association with said club). I am sure that Russ, as with most other board members at the clubs he has been involved in did a very many great things to benefit those clubs and tried very hard to turn them around but what I am questioning is whether they would have been the better option to buy the club compared to MM, whether they had the money, experience and resources to save the club from administration as MM if we look at the clubs they have been involved with previously and where those clubs are now (especially Scarborough). They were a very real prospect prior to MM and have been linked with a takeover as a consortium since. Are they big enough to really turn around the fortunes of a club as big as ours? I don't doubt they have done good for lower clubs in the past but I doubt they are the right option for us.

And that brings me onto another point. Just how big a club are we? We all know we are MASSIVE but really? I don't want to go down, I hope we don't, I want to see money spent wisely to retain our status in this league but just throwing money at signings in the short term with no long term vision is a precarious thing to do. Remember what happened before? Doing so would push us back ten years. I'd rather us stay solvent (or at least viably on the verge of becoming a profit making club) and us go down this year and build the infrastructure, development squad and a team that has the talent to come back stronger the year after and build year on year. A club producing talent is a club that can build a strong first team and sell a few on every few years to fund other things. Just look at the example of Southampton, the way they brought talent through over the past few years and used them wisely to build a strong squad then sell some on and work up through the leagues, look at the likes of Walcott and so on.

What gets my back up is that I will be branded MM money man or accountant, that I somehow am not a true fan. This is nonesense, I am just realistic and look at the big picture. What also gets my back up is that half of the current squad don't have the fight in them, lacking enough talent to compete at this level is one thing but when I see the effort of some of them in the past few week, the way they walk about the pitch and disrespect paying fans, that's inexcusable no matter who owns the club and partly that blame rests with the manager who chose them, trains them, motivates them sure but it also rests on the shoulders of the players. None of that lack of passion in some (not all) of the squad rests on the shoulders of MM.


2.) We'll I certainly wouldn't slate your post as I fully agree.
Unfortunately some folk remember the good old days and expect hem back yesterday.
Many also take the nickname, the massive, too literally.


3.) Amen!. Some good points though m8


4.) You really have nothing better to do today, that's two huge posts you've written today. Again I agree with you, you make a lot of sense. Many people don't see or choose to gloss over the fact that a lot of money was spent by MM in the early days improving the backroom staff and the background infrastructure to the team and the club. This had been neglected to the point where as I heard it we had a couple of physios and some youth team coaches.

Well done for sticking your head above the parapit, I think a lot of real fans including myself think the same way as you just haven't put it in writing. Yes your going to get a lot of flak but I think we have a lot of fans who think too much in the short term and forget the past too much.

As for selling the club I think MM has learnt lessons from the sale of Portsmouth and there subsequent demise. There he sold mainly for profit and the club suffered after that. I think he is a very conciencous business man and it would hurt him that a business he built up was so brutally blown apart. He has said he wants to sell but only to someone who will improve the club and take it forward. He is not as motivated by profit anymore as he was when younger, he has more than enough to live on comfortably and wants to see his investment do well.

Again well done for writing what you did, let's see what the feedback will be like :)


5.) Haha yeah, I have a broken foot as of two days ago! Too much time ony hands.


6.) Maybe too much time on your feet. LOL


7.) Ponty, yet again you have written a great and thoughtful post. As I alluded to in a previous post, I wish others would put some thought into theirs before submitting. i'm sure he doesn't but imagine if mm looked on this site, he may just think stuff this the ungrateful ----- and leave us to rot. Hope the foot recovers soon and you're able to take over from dj in time for the transfer window! NB


8.) Not motivated by Profit?

He is a businessman they buy cheap and sell on for Profit

Ponty lad I think you have some great points but we have to agree to disagree on the profit issue

No heart no fight players haven't got a clue and it's all down to one man dave jones I've seen more life in a graveyard than in him Milan sack him know becouse we have become the biggest joke ever all them managers he as sacked in the past for petty reasons but for some reason he's still here. O and all you why blame the manager rubbish it's the team what a load of rubbish the squad is a good squad it's the clown who picks it that's the problem. And all real fans that go home and away will tell you the same

Yorkshire owl

1.) The players don't want to play for him, think that's painfully obvious come on MM do the right this and put the person out of his and our misery.


2.) If the players are good enough but don't want to play for the manager then they are equally (or more) to blame for the situation. That's common sense, surely? They are paid well, live in luxury and are in the shop window in a big league, exposing them to Premier League teams' interest. What more motivation do they need? Aside from that they should always give 100% for the badge, the club and most of all the supporters who work so hard to afford season tickets to watch a team play. By not giving their all, even in the guise of not working for the manager then they are disrespecting us as fans and should hang their heads in shame. I have tried so hard this season to he behind the team, to encourage people to do the same and after today's game I finally have had enough of trying to back a team and manager that clearly don't want to be there, not all of them of course but most of them for sure have no fight in them for us the paying supporters. And it's not even the cold, hard winter yet! I still am thankful for MM for stepping in to help the club, I still support MM in his vision of what he wants for the club but I now see no option but to show DJ the door and give money to the new man to weed out the p*ss takers who pull on the blue and white each week and walk about like kids on a playground. Sick of it now.


3.) Ponty, i'm with you all the way my friend. In fact i'd have you as our next manager. let's start the campaign here and now, ponty for manager!


4.) Haha only part way through my coaching badges I'm afraid, but I'd do it for free. Just been having a browse through the PFA transfer list at free agents and it is amazing how many decent players with Premier League experience are out of contract. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is still a free agent after being release by Wolves after his broken leg, I'd get him on trial instantly to see how his injury has recovered and with a view to getting him fit, on a short term contract. There are tons of ex Premier League youth products looking for clubs too, I'd have to say it would be a great coup to hold an open training day for these players with a view to finding a rough diamond. Fair enough they were probably not ready for first team experience and deemed surplus in the top flight but they must have something about them to have been paid and trained through some of the best academies in the land. Imagine the publicity if the Owls were to openly invite all ex Premier academy players currently OOC to a behind closed doors training week, sell the rights to it to tv to film it, take on a few free players and give them a contract til the end of the season and if they flop it costs nothing, if they prove good enough we sign them for another year then look at selling them on as finished products. Why we must rely on buying cheap overseas imports and journeymen is beyond me when we have ex England under 21 and youth internationals sat doing nothing.


5.) That's not a bad idea at all Ponty owl. nothing to lose offering free trials to ooc players.


6.) Just had a quick look down the list of out of contract players and here is a snippet of the kind of potential out there sat waiting for a club to take them on trial:

Young out of contract players with Premier League experience:

GK James Shea (Arsenal)
RB/CB Ramil Sheriff (Spurs/Norwich)
RB/CB James Wylie (Blackburn/Norwich)
CB Daniel Devine (Villa/Ireland Youth International)
CB Eoin Wearen (W Ham/Ireland Youth International)
CB/RB Alex Evans (Cardiff/Wales Youth International)
LB/LM James Mzamo Musa (Fulham/N Zealand Youth International)
LB Samir Bihmoutine (Arsenal)
RM/LM Samuel Bangura (Chelsea/Sierra Leone Full International)
CM/CF Dyllon Wolstenholme (Bolton)
CM/RB Joshua Rees (Arsenal/England Youth International)
LM Sam Kelly (Norwich/Everton)
CF Nigel Oldfield Spence-Neita (Arsenal)
CF/LF Charlie Losasso (Reading)
CF Casey Thomas (Swansea/Wales Youth International)

And there are a fair few more experienced players who have been released for one reason or another and would be available for free, here are a few (varying levels of talent):

Experienced players out of contract:

Titus Bramble
Simon Davies
Thomas Hitzlsperger
Julio Arca
Stephen Elliot
Darius Vassell
Mido
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake

Now I'm sure that some of these would not be interested in a trial, some would, some would demand wages too high for us. Even if the vast majority of them were not good enough then I am certain one or two would be good squad players or have potential to become first team players in the future, surely it would be worth inviting them down en masse to see what they are about? And this is just my quick glance, god knows what is really out there.
