COH - Boycott time yet?

[Boroblade1889]

Boycotts FFS……leave that shyte to the other mob, we’re better than that

Support the shirt and the badge…regardless whose wearing it

 

[gooseh]

Are shoes on or off in the car park for this one, can someone confirm

Again with this comment we lost 3 first team players. The majority of his squad is here.

Give your head a wobble if you think he’s a good manager.

Middlesbrough - failed
Watford - failed
Sheff u 2nd stint - failed

If he’s so good why has no one ever jumped at the chance to hire him when we sack him? Blinded by the good years, like most of the fan base and some of the clubs directors.

You're forgetting the quality loanees we had last season which we've replaced with dogshit this year too.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

COH? He was our best players today by a country mile. No boycott from me.

 

[Niallllll]

Yeah the loans have been poorly used Bindon and Barry are league one quality. Soumare is a good championship player he put in a motm performance and gets rewarded by being dropped.

But remember last year wilder decided to use three of our loans on right backs. Choudhury is a huge miss arguably more so than Anel.

If Selles was still here and these were the performances on display would it be acceptable? If not why is it acceptable for wilder to be producing this dross?

 

[Houston_Blade]

This is biggest overreaction to a team losing a few games I’ve ever seen.

Further down the line there may well be call for a boycott, but this is just pure bedwetting.

 

[HVR]

You can pin the error of Selles on them but going back to Wilder what were they thinking.

Was it Selles though? Was he the cause, or was he just employed during this period of decline, that I have no explanation of? Or was it during Wilder's last time here? And now the slow disintegration, set in motion 2 seasons ago, is actually, now, starkly visible to us fans? If a company van is about to die, due to lack of maintenance, do we blame the new driver who turned the key one morning and the engine explodes?

I wanted him to leave at the end of last season, didn't want him back. When he came back, I was OK with it, because I'm an optimist and told myself it was just Selles not understanding the players and how to make them work as an effective football team. Didn't have any hopes of a Top 6 challenge when Wilder returned (Yeah, OK, I did!), but thought he might steady the ship until the owners worked out a plan for next season.

My fear now is a return to 'Wilder the Destroyer', when the fans turned and he seemed to change from a man of the people, into a grumpy git, trolling the fans - picking fights, souring interviews and reading this forum to see which players we didn't like and then purposefully picking them to stuff it to us. Very concerned things could turn sour very quickly, because although I loved his time(s) here, and also loved what he did. Make no mistake, I loved what he did, he can get very tetchy. Very quickly. And petty.
As for a boycott, well, the Owls fans did do it - but it feels like it's our players deciding to enact the boycott.

Aren't you scared who they might appoint next if Wilder goes? I daren't even think about it.

 

[Matlock Blade]

They messed it up big time by not getting a good replacement for him in the summer. Selles has nothing on his CV to suggest he was likely to be a good manager for us.

 

[Matlock Blade]

I'm not advocating any silly boycott though. Leave that to the pigs next time they get disappointed.

 

[Nick Jansky]

The OP has a 100% record of failure in his various obsessive calls for protests so we can take it that nothing is going to happen.

 

[The Crab]

Would you support a boycott to speed up the ousting of COH as owners of our club?

It worked for the pigs, and Chansiri actually splashed the cash in the early years...last Summer's window with parachute payments was our last real chance and the signings were abysmal overall, certainly no sign of intent of giving it a good go this season. Obviously ridiculous sacking Wilder for Selles also. I really have no idea why they bought us, totally out of their depth and unable to take us forwards, and worse than that.. backwards.

So do they deserve any more transfer windows to turn it around or should the boycott start now?

It didn’t work for the pigs. It had nothing to do with the boycott and everything to do with chancer running out of money. Admin did for him, not a bunch of spackers in Wadsley Club worshipping at the altar of a croc wearing dipstick who thinks the earth is flat.

Boycotting would not work. Like the pigs, the people most at risk would be staff.

I’m afraid I don’t know what the answer is. COH will bail when it goes beyond economical repair.

We are in a position where we could very well lose to the pigs. Their players might be limited, but they have backbone.

We do not

 

[The Crab]

Can we boycott playing like twats and stop boycotting trying something new now and again first?

 

[The Crab]

Did you stand in the car park crying?

I stood in A car park crying.

Sainsbury’s had run out of Lazy Garlic…

 

[relish]

Calling for a boycott is obviously daft, but I assume most of us would agree that COH have so far been lousy owners.

They don’t communicate at all so we don’t know what they’re thinking or why they do the things that they do. But from the outside it certainly looks like the arrogance that characterises a lot of US football club owners: a completely misguided assumption that, purely because they’re rich Americans, they must automatically know better than people who actually know something about football.

 

[Tom Bott]

I think we should boycott.





The boycott threads.

 

[100% part time blade]

The time to push back against the board’s actions would be if they suddenly went out and spent millions they don’t have on new players, or refused to sell players we could no longer afford to keep. This is what puts clubs into crisis - gambling on success with borrowed money. That’s the path to FFP breaches, financial ruin and jeopardising a club’s existence. When Chansiri did this, they did nothing, and ended up in their mess.

If we make record signings in the near future, and you see tens of millions being spent on new players, you should definitely start a protest to get the board removed.

Our board has made poor acquisitions of players and bad managerial appointments. They aren’t the first to do this.
Somebody actually hired Wayne Rooney having already seen him manage a previous football club. They now need to make better decisions, or the owners will lose a lot of money, and we will have disappointing weekends of not winning football matches.

You failed at the 1st hurdle there..

 

[FredZeppelin]

Stop buying some of the awful tack in the club shop would be a start.

Not difficult this year. What a load of poorly designed crap. The whole club shop just looks dull and uninteresting, full of grey and black boring shit.

And £35 for a baseball cap!

utb

Boycott time..

Hmm, whereas we may have an incredibly shit team at present…Wednesday are an incredibly shit club…That is the fundamental difference.

 

[BettingBlade]

I’m not sure the owners have made a single sensible decision yet tbh.

How they got away with giving Wilder a 5 year contract last season and then ended up sacking at the end of the season anyway is mind boggling. Anyone with half a brain can see thats the thinking of a pair of complete morons.

That decision alone should be ringing alarm bells to say they dont have the first clue what the long term plan is. Then to go back to the same manager after appointing the first name they’ve picked out of thin air is disgraceful.

This idea that they’ve redeemed themselves because they’ve spent a bit of money is fucking bonkers. Particularly when the vast majority of signings so far have been so far below the standard of what we actually need.

These owners should already be on much thinner ice with fans than they are. They might have acknowledged they got it wrong but what are they doing to put fans at ease that they wont continue to get it wrong? Absolutely nothing. Theres no one been brought in with a football brain at board level, they dont communicate with fans. We have no idea what they are thinking.

Owners, Manager, Coaching staff and previous incumbents all in the mix. What about Hoyland and the scouting staff? What, if any was their input into the signings?

If Hoyland's barely being listened to he should quit on principle before his reputation is totally trashed. If he has been listened to he should be sacked for being shit.

 

[Brian Deane]

Thought it was Root that's a Blade not fucking Geoffrey

 

[Berkshire Blade]

What a ludicrous post.

We didn't boycott a owner who got us points deductions and two uncompetitive premier league seasons

Anyone even thinking this after a disastrous but not cheap summer is off their head.

Criticism is enough at this stage!

Why do you think he’s not being listened to? What does he do all day?

I was vocal in my desire to hound the Prince out of the club, because he took years to sell us despite admitting he couldn't take us further forward. However he did at least oversee 3 promotions and our greatest ever season in the Premier League so I understood why fans were hesitant to go too hard on him as he certainly did give us some very good times.

I'm a firm believer that a stitch in time saves nine, I think the concept that we should wait until the club is in absolute tatters like the pigs did before boycotting is insane.

Look how far these owners have dragged us down in MONTHS, I'm not sure any new owner of any club has managed a nosedive quite like this before? GET THEM GONE!

You got a spare 100 million.

I'd rather they got it right than got gone.
