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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited Wednesday at 16:11 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)?

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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be an element of rationality here. 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.

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.

As simple as that.
