Not the way I wanted to start posting on here again. I'm gutted by this.

It seems to be getting worse and worse, unless its some sort of precondition on a new investment, but that article seems to rule that idea out

It certainly does, does this mean that Admin is a step nearer.. scratch

I feel a docking of 10 points coming on

I don't think so, not yet anyway. The club has been working well with the Co-op Bank, and we're still managing the debt successfully. The general concensus seems to be (and is backed up by some good sources) that Lee has been forced out. So there's clearly been a difference between himself and one or more of the dusty old men inhabiting the boardroom, Hulley, Cooke or Grierson. I'm actually furious at this decision, we're facing League One without a chairman, and without investment. Howard Wilkinson didn't seem to have any clue on Football Heaven tonight about what kind of finances are available for the playing staff, and with Irvine requiring at least 7 or 8 players before August, things are looking very bleak indeed.

He was on radio sheffield a few weeks back and he said some one come to him and said why don't they put the club into admin and wipe the debt of that way and he said no way never on my watch i wonder if thats why he's been pushed

I think you may be right on this one NIGHTMARE, strange decision though Wilkinson is not a Chairman and I can only see him interfering with the management of the team and generally getting folks' back up.
Strafford gave what he could and no more , the thanks appears to be his position becoming untenable for no apparent reason. Shocked

To be honest it could be for the best if they did go into admin, get the debt cleared and start again, it must be like having a millstone round your neck, i just can;t see who will invest in wednesday while they still have all those millions owing, its a bit like having a credit card up to its limit and just paying of the minimum payment it will never get any less, if papa smurf had taken them over when he wanted to they would have been in and out of admin by now and would have been in a much better state then they are today, and it pains me to say that..

True the Smurf has proven that it doesn't help you to be honest, that's always been his creed. Mad

Fat Del Boy Said if they went into admin the first thing that would happen is the admin would sell the ground then to rent it back it would cost more per season then what they are paying the coop

by **hoolahoop** Tue 18 May - 9:22:54

Then that's not a viable option then if true. Shocked

by **yorkie64red** Tue 18 May - 9:26:44

can't see why they would be any different to any other club going into admin, think it was more a way of putting off going into admin as he obviously didn't want to be the chairman that did it..

by **NIGHTMARE** Tue 18 May - 9:27:37

that could be the reason he's jacked in
he said the club will never go into admin wile he's at the club because its not in the best intrest of SWFC in the long term and it would kill any chance of investment if they could be he;d to ransom over the rent of the ground just like rotherham
