Sheffield Wednesday - Into Administration (p44)

oops

I agree with FA , I can't see there not being a whole host of dodgy dealings in the books left by Chansiri. It's fine to provide the proof of funds but I imagine it's a whole other deal to try and untangle the mess.

Mike Ashley one of the 3 bidders that have provided proof of funds 

They deserve each other 

That's too funny. Nixon hates getting called out for being in the pockets of certain owners. Was convinced for a while he was getting fed stories directly by Sandgaard when he owned us too. 

I read today that they have  asked the EFL for special dispensation to  engage free agents as they are having to use youth players to cover injuries. 

This Nixon stuff on Twitter is gold. The pie account is running rings around him.

As far as I was aware they could sign free agents but were limited to paying a max of 8k PW unless that has changed now they are in admin.

Apparently they have to get EFL permission to sign free agents apart from all the other restrictions. 

Fair enough.

Methven being shown around Hillsborough apparently

Was he that bad for us ?

Alan Nixon v a South Stand Pie 

He's been hammered so much he's now had to protect his tweets and has been made to look a complete fool over this. I saw one post where he threatened to publicly expose the pie accounts DM's apologising to him and then when he eventually posted the DM's it turned out he'd been messaging a fake account where someone had changed a letter 'i' to a 'I'. Absolute clown.

The irony is hardly anyone saw the original tweet (which was 6 weeks ago), so by threatening libel action against a comedy pie account all he's done is just make it known to a far wider audience.

Yes.

How long did he last?

Besides, I thought he was involved heavily with the MD of the Mount Pleasant FA.

And what did he did with us that was so bad ? I’m just interested. Perhaps I completely missed it ?

Oversaw the lowest position in our history for a start.

And that was his fault ? Come on. The club was rotten to the core when he/they took over . It takes more than a few months to sort that out and thankfully they did and pretty quickly when you think about it.

The way I saw it, and I could be very wrong here.

The owners came over in January and had seen enough so started to get more involved.

If Methven was any good he'd still be with us.

I never said he was any good. My question was he THAT bad ? I can think of several people who got involved with the club in the last ten years that make Methvan look like a genius.

Of course if you are to compare him to the likes of peanut head then he was fantastic.

However, I can only say that he'd still be in a job if the owners thought he was upto it.

I wonder how much longer he'll be with Mount Pleasant IF he ends up with Wednesday.  He does not tend to stick around long in positions.

Personally if he gets involved in Sheff Wed I hope he crashes and burns but I’m just puzzled as to what did wrong at Charlton . Wasn’t he involved in bringing in the investors we have now ?
