Huge caveat that I haven’t checked this, but I think that after today’s defeat, #swfc now have the record for the longest ever run of home league games in English football without a win (21). Citation needed

@priceoffootball.bsky.social #swfc fan here - great that we may have stable owners soon. I’d rather we take a 15 point hit next season rather than give Chansiri a penny. Is there anything to stop new owners paying small local creditors what they are owed out of process? Would bring huge goodwill.

So due to one man’s utter incompetence #swfc will have been deducted 39 points over the last few years. 15 of these will be because, despite banning the aforementioned man, the #EFL want to take pity on him and reward his destruction. As a result proper local businesses suffer further. Madness

More than happy to take a -15 points if it means that Chansiri doesn’t see a penny from this deal. I hope that the new owners would pay as many of the smaller, local creditors off in full as possible outside of the process. Would bring huge amounts of goodwill #swfc

I appreciate that other names could possibly bring aspects of the above, I would welcome Ashley. We need practical thinking - some people seem to just assume that we need loads of cash. We need more than that - we need someone who understands how to rescue a failing brand and put it back on track.

2. He would only buy the club to make money, and nowadays this means being in the PL. Buying a club for c£35m, spending ~£100m over 3 years and then having an asset worth c£400m is good business. 3. The retail/commercial side of the club is a disaster - this is crucial and would be quickly sorted.

1. We desperately need financial rigour. In a basket-case league like the championship (when we eventually return) this needs level heads, not mindless speculation

There seems to be much ill/non-informed tittle-tattle around re prospective #swfc owners at the moment. There has been some strange straw-clutching criticism aimed at the Ashley bid. I think that Ashley is 100% exactly what we need: (1/4)

True football fans do not treat “derby day” as the best day(s) of the season. They are by far the worst; no sleep the night before, gut-wrenching anxiety ahead of the game, a never-enjoyable 90 minutes and often a shitty match too. (Being a #swfc fan also doesn’t help apart from Wembley ‘93 😀)

A real shame to see @skykaveh.bsky.social on Sky Sports News defending the “independent” decision to suspend C Ronaldo’s ban for the World Cup. Good journalism is to question the integrity of decisions regardless of “evidence” which seemed to be his justification.

They’re trying their hardest, but this TNT #Ashes coverage shows how good Sky are at doing cricket on the tv. Weird transitions, patronising commentary, poorly-synched sound. Shoddy at best

I find it strange that Walker isn’t often mentioned in the same way that we talk about Waddle, Sheridan and Hirst. He’s the best defender I’ve ever seen in an Owls shirt by far. I think it’s possibly because he was in the side that got relegated in 2000. Without him, we’d have gone down way earlier.

STAT: #SWFC current 10 outfield players against Leeds have 452 career league appearances between them. Jamal Lowe has 446 of them.

Interesting…… #swfc www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Hypothetically speaking, if a football club that youve given your life to goes out of business. what next? I can’t watch league football as a neutral, but the idea of adopting a new team feels utterly wrong. it’s an existential crisis. Glad it’s obviously only hypothetical clearly #swfc

This is heartbreaking. People’s lives are being affected, and a very real chance that there will be no club to start the season. My only hope is that Chansiri would rather sell for something, rather than destroy an asset completely. Such a sad situation for all of us.

@philippeauclair.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Hi @philippeauclair.bsky.social - further to my note last week, the situation at #SWFC is predictably starting to snowball now. Banned from any paid transfers until 2027, no new player registrations currently and the annual community “Owls in the Park” shindig has been cancelled on ‘safety grounds’

I’m not sure the gravity and seriousness of this situation is being heard widely. Please help! @philippeauclair.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @jonathanliew.bsky.social @priceoffootball.bsky.social @nickybandini.bsky.social @zonal-marking.bsky.social @barneyronay.bsky.social

Where is Dejphon Chansiri? At a time where a business he owns is on its knees, he has disappeared. Silence from the club. This is a sporting scandal hammering a once great British sporting institution. A genuine possibility there will be no club to start the season in August. #swfc

And re the players and manager - I’d run an absolute mile. I don’t expect an inch of loyalty and rightly so. Would I stay for an employer who doesn’t pay me? Absolutely not. I’d get out and find an employer I trust and respect #swfc

We run the real risk of having no players and no manager at the start of the season. Therefore by default, no club. #swfc

Hi @priceoffootball.bsky.social I seem to recall that PFA regs mean that players can break their contracts if they haven’t been paid for 14 days after wages due. Is this right? If so #swfc have 4 days left until those left can just walk. Nothing from the club/owner for days. Scary times

According to the great @priceoffootball.bsky.social Chansiri was originally after £350m for the owls - laughable. Realistically £50m is about right. The challenge is that we need the right person and fast. What gives me no confidence is that the current owner will be the arbiter of who buys us.

Ive had a season ticket for over 30 years at #swfc and it breaks my heart but I’m done. The systematic destruction of my club cannot go on. Change must happen or we die. I fear a fire sale to a Lyle Lanley style chancer but at the moment we are a laughing stock. Chansiri must go and fast

Find me a worse piece of #FPL judgement than taking a -4 at 1055am to take Chris Wood OUT of your squad. Purely to be able to bring Moyes in as AM. You won’t find one.

I thought Shea had returned to Southampton? #swfc

29 hours down, 35,035 to go #number47

5 hours down, 35,059 to go.. #number47

For me it’s got to be: Mulholland Drive Wild at Heart Blue Velvet (With an honourable mention for Twin Peaks too)

The quality of both of these teams is remarkable. Astonishing how, 30 years later I can still remember all 22 players. That Ajax team is unbelievable, and shows how much football has pivoted to the Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga since.

No ticket for #swfc at Coventry this weekend, so a double header of my 2 local teams. Today - reuniting with the legend that is Sammy Hutchinson at @afcwimbledon1889.bsky.social (pitch inspection pending) v Cheltenham Tomorrow - @officialcpfc.bsky.social v Stockport

I think the silence came from the empty stands rather than the “shock” win over a side in the same division. And no, like nearly everyone else on Earth, I wasn’t watching.

The beauty of #squidgame was its chaotic, bloodthirsty originality. The problem with #squidgame2 is that we’ve seen it all before. It’s not bad, but it’s also not really that good.

2 and a half hours a day of podcasts. Every day. Too much? Possibly. Football Weekly retain their title. Predictably @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social

Top 5 films of 2024… 5. Emilia Perez 4. Civil War 3. Conclave 2. Anora 1. The Holdovers

It’s a Wonderful Life: 2 hours of utter misery followed by 2 minutes of unbridled joy. Perfect

Room full of satire writers will struggle to find a funnier line that the BBC Newsreader just now saying “The Chinese approached Prince Andrew in the hope of finding intelligence’”

Have avenged my second place in the @priceoffootball.bsky.social Christmas quiz 2 years ago, by surprisingly taking the title this year. A most surprising result and the closest that #swfc will come to any silverware for a long time. Thanks Kieran, Kevin (and Guy) for a great podcast. Happy Xmas!

Don’t want to say this as an #SWFC fan but #Rohl would be crazy not to take the #soton job. If he keeps them up he’s a hero, but there’s no expectations. If they go down with a fight, he’ll have all the cash next season and get them promoted as a hero anyway. No-brainer, but I really hope he stays

Every minute that passes without a “hands off” statement on the #swfc website makes me feel more and more pessimistic

I pride myself on being able to complete this most days, but today’s absolutely stumped me.

#bhafc fans are a curious bunch. It’s like a bunch of middle class people got together and decided that they had to learn how to behave like football fans. When do we shout? We need to sing some things! We need some rivals to create a level of ill-will against.

I thought exactly this ⬇️

Black Doves is basically John Wick directed by Richard Curtis. #blackdoves

Absolutely right - and it feels wonderful to not be (mostly) fretting

It’s games like this where you see how much #swfc rely on Bannan. We need to be so much better without him on the pitch.

Greg(g) Wallace almost certain to be holding a gammon-in-chief role at GBNews by the summer.
