If he stays, and we go up i fear for next season, Tan will not spend in the championship at the level we need to succeed.

We will need to spend money on the squad in the summer and I just don't see that happening with Tan.
It wouldn't suprise me if Tan thinks that because we have done well this season with no money spent then the same can be done in the Championship, but anyone who knows anything about football knows that's not true - the problem is he doesn't.

That has entered My head Ned, Tan might believe he can do well again on spending nothing.
100% We would go straight back down and it would be even harder to get Fans to return .

froggy1927 wrote:What scares me about tan is i can't see him selling unless we are in the Prem
But I can't see us getting there unless we are financially backed
so it's feels like a catch 22 at the moment
Unless a party willing to pay tan what he wants which i can't see whilst we are a league one or championship club i fear we are stuck with him
This is why I'm not a fan of owners that say they will put dept into equity because no matter what level we are the shares end up being worth more than the club and that's why no one is offering what tan wants

I have a worry is that he will think BBM can get us to the prem on the cheap and stay another season.

He won't be backed in the summer and the danger is if we struggle in the Championship (presuming we fo up)Tan will sack him and replace him with Russell Slade.

Taxman is paid.
Other clubs are paid.
HMRC aren’t taking us to court constantly.
Players are getting paid.
Transfer embargoes are because of the clowns he employs at the club and the paperwork being late. It happens at other clubs as well. It’s not good and isn’t professional but it happens.
Whatever reason he pays these bills we aren’t having to sell players to keep the taxman from winding us up. We aren’t having to sell our captain to pay wages. We aren’t seeking 5 years worth of season tickets to get to the end of the season.
Sheffield Wednesday would love to be as stagnant as we are.
He needs to go, no doubt about that. He has lost interest. He could do things a lot better. He should be doing things a lot better. But let’s not make out we have been well run since the first couple of seasons under Sam. We have been reacting to stuff ever since then.

Sadly I would be surprised if a lot of fans share your view, this season we have cleared a lot out and murphys according to some says he did not want any in ? I am sure if a 15 million war chest was on offer murphy would not have turned it down . We will see what happens when and if we are promoted.
