Sheffield Wednesday

[Malaga]

Have filed for administration

Inevitable, really. Owners should really be competence tested before they're allowed to buy football clubs. We've certainly had our share of incompetent asshats.

You mean 'be fit and proper'

Nobody cares as long as they pony up initial cash. What is needed is some kind of real personal liability for subsequent events. Not going to happen. To me, football clubs aren't normal companies, they are historic local, and could be argued, sometimes national assets and should be protected from charlatans and sharks under specific law.

Except Cardiff City, which should be put down as an act of kindness.

Am I missing something - there was supposed to be a fan boycott of their last game against Middlesbrough. There was still 21,000 in the ground.
By that logic, half of our fans are boycotting us!

It's terrible, I feel for the fans of this once proud club. The FA and Football League should really step up their efforts when it comes to protecting clubs

Given that one of our only wins was against them , things are getting more uncomfortable for us by the second.

Leeds recovered from administration, and scummy Brum. Wednesday easily have the fan base. It's not liquidation.

Not yet it isn't. They'll get a points deduction because of administration no doubt.

The owners have been playing Russian roulette with the club for a while. It still doesn't take away from the fact the FA and Football league should be doing more to protect clubs.

12 points deducted. That's one relegation place sorted, then.

Taking 12 points of them isn't going to help the situation. They're going after the wrong people.

There wasn’t 21,000 there. There were the Middlesbrough fans and then not many Wednesday fans. I’m assuming the figure you quoted included ST holders who were boycotting but had technically already paid for their seat. These photos were taken by a Middlesbrough fan during the match.

They are looking to have a near full hose tomorrow because none of the money will go to the old owner and it will go to the people that matter more. Their merchandise has also been flying off the shelves today. They have even had volunteers to remove seats that spelt out the owners name.
