They want anyone who isn’t the guy that’s currently there just like a lot of Newcastle fans would want anyone that wasn’t Mike Ashley. Doesn’t mean they are right but they want hope that it won’t be as bad as the guy they currently have 

I don't know anyone who would have just swapped Ashley for any old chancer like. We'd have swapped him for anyone with a hint of ambition, regardless of wealth.

Away you go man, this place and Twitter lapped up every takeover rumour there was. There is a difference between the Malaysian mob Chopra fronted and someone with proven money like Ashley. 
 

People were crying out for that Moat guy and Kenyon and many more even fuckin Vince McMahon ffs :lol:

I was joking about that one.

 

All I’m saying is we know Ashley is a cunt but I also understand the desperation of Wednesday fans

I understand that. But what are the odds an entire fan base is wrong about Ashley (when results since he left - Champions League and a first trophy in 70 years prove that in fact we are completely correct)? There has to be an element of rationality here.

So if the Venkys were linked you think this forum would be full of people pulling their end off and calling Blackburn fans deluded?

 

Vince McMahon was a mad pipe dream that you could have imagined being some sort of crazy WWE inspired super club - obviously it was no sense but there's at least something for your inner child to play with. How is that remotely the same as a failed former football club owner with a history of filtering money out of the club and put nothing in?

I agree but aren’t Wednesday properly in the shit. Like close to administration/going out of business kinda shit. That’s next level desperation. I should know my hometown club Airdrie  went out of business and I’ve never seen my dad so crushed until they found a way back

you are equating premier league affluent Saudi attracting Newcastle United to the same level of thinking as Championship struggling unable to pay their players Sheffield Wednesday. 
 

if you gave them a choice Venkys or no buyer & owner pulls the plug and puts them out of business they’d pick the venkys every day. It’s the nature of desperation.

 

Is Mike Ashley a shit owner? Absolutely. Can I understand some Wednesday fans willing to ignore the red flags for their club to survive? Absolutely.

I think we all agree they're desperate. But I certainly don't agree with them turning a blind eye to his infinite cunt flaws and the blank sheet that is his positives.

They aren't saying the equivalent of "I would take the Venky's over liquidation" they're saying "The Blackburn fans are just deluded, the Venky's would be perfect for us, just what we need!"

 

Hence people are taking the piss out of them.

Stuff like this makes me laugh like people actually think that was our facilities. Ryan Taylor was asked about this and said they had ice baths etc but they used that coz it was easier in the hot weather. 
 

that being said our facilities were well below what they should have been

fair enough we are essentially arguing over one guys twitter post. I was just trying to find some empathy for them.

An ice bath in a bin is easier than an actual ice bath because ‘of the hot weather’ …

I can’t remember his exact quote ffs but the players wanted to cool down while staying outside. As simple as that. According to Ryan Taylor anyway (via I think the Gallowgates shots podcast) take it up with him
