Sheffield Wednesday

[andthesunshineband]

Quick question: The Fit and Proper Person Test has been mentioned a couple of times but what does it involve?
Is it a simple case of checking for criminal behaviour or does it check the intended owner's capability in the role?
For example could I buy a club if I won the lottery just because I've no criminal convictions or would I also have to demonstrate a significant level of business acumen?
I'm talking about standard procedure as I believe someone with a dodgy past was allowed to own Bury as the alternative was them going bust. - In the end they went bust anyway.

Have wondered similar myself, particularly when Bury went west. From memory, I think the incoming owner admitted he'd never run a football club but was going to give it a go. He'd been " involved" with 50 plus businesses in the past and 40 plus had been liquidated. Bar probably a bit low for "fit and proper person" then?

Owlerton has gone to the dogs, and both main Sheffield clubs promoted beyond their ability.

I remember in 1993 when some Wednesday fans thought they were on for the treble around Feb when Warhurst was bang in form.

I've still not forgiven David Hirst for his worldie goalkeeping performance for 80 minutes against us in 1990.

The bastard.

I'm not sure he is, If we lost £24m we'd be breaching FFP rules again, our last set of accounts (21/22) showed we lost £7.5m

This could be Chancer saying what he has had to put in over the course of his tenure who knows.

It's going to get messy regardless

From one West Yorkshireman to another, I hope you find a light at the end of this shit-filled tunnel. Town and Wednesday fans are never going to be the best of friends, but I think anyone who purports to love the game of football would never want things to go dangerously bad for another club, especially when it could put said clubs' future at risk.

Except Nottingham Forest. They can fuck reyt off.

Every club has its fair share of idiots including ours. Hope they find them and ban them for a considerable amount of time.

I've just seen this and you have to wonder at the mentality of such utter scum. I wouldn't want to work or socialise with such cretins even if they were mates they'd be fucking gone.

Two brothers from Rotherham apparently, already named. Jesus imagine being their parents.

Thanks m8,

I know a lot of Town fans don't like us due to arrogance of certian sections of our fanbase (which I get), but as someone who lives in Kirklees I have a lot of time for you guys, my best m8 at work is a Town fan and I always look out for your results.

Hell I even went to the 2011 Playoff final to support you :)

What goes through someones mind to say, you know what would be a good idea......

Scumbags hope the club ban them, as they're not welcome.

In true Hirsty fashion he'd also had 8 glasses of Champagne that morning before the game :)

Disgusting. Should ban them from every ground in the country.

Happily been arrested and since they've been named I suspect the next few months will be fun for them. SWFC will have to give them a life ban hopefully, nobody wants scum like that supporting your club.

Bradley Lowery: Arrests made after football fans mock child who died from cancer

The young Sunderland fan suffered from rare childhood cancer neuroblastoma that was diagnosed when he was 18 months old, and he died in 2017 at the age of six. A phone showing a picture of his face was waved after the club's 3-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
