Sheffield Wednesday, points docked for fiddling figures, not paid players properly and on time, transfer embargo in place, trying to furlough players, players threatening to give notice to leave on free transfer due to breach of contract

 

Good grief.

There are some drama queens on here.

Is social media to blame? Folk wanting things now, now and lacking in patience?

 

Sheffield Wednesday

 

Please stop-you are rapidly making @Fordy117 seem quite normal.

 

Orient were a basket case, Bolton. Hilarious. Oldham. Hilarious. Blackpool goodness me. ,,,,shall I go on. Every club is a nightmare at some point. We are bad due to a crap takeover and it’s gone on and on

 

Do you know the one team I feel sorry for——year on year just missing out on getting out of non league*******. Wrexham. Always nearly there. Not a fan of their following supporter nutters but very frustrating for the club

 

Yikes!

We can also factor in that only Bradford, Bolton and Swindon have ever fallen from Premier League to League Two. Wigan narrowly avoided becoming team number four!

 

Mud sticks with all the poor decisions that have gone over the last few years. It will take a good season for people to start having more confidence. The current cloak and dagger stuff with the new manager just adds to the already confused state of the club.

 

Also Blackpool and Portsmouth.

 

Worst run? Nowhere near.

We are ok financially and have a pretty good fanbase. We do a lot of off the pitch stuff very well.

Recruitment is our major downfall. We are one of the worst in the country at that.

 

After agree if we had internally been badly run we wouldn't have survived last season.
The club must have been skating on thin ice at times with little cash flow to hand.
Someone managed to keep us afloat.
If we didn't have plan of action in place and executed well, I personally would have thought financially like many other clubs City would have gone under but they didn't.
On the point of recruitment yes we have failed in the past but hopefully with the appointment made of Lee Turnbull a recruitment specialist that part of the business has been addressed and will bear fruit over the coming months.

 

Where do you think we sit among football league clubs taking into account of income and expenditure, tradition, potential.
I would say top end of league one what do you think. Anything above is over Achieving and yes we are under achieving at the moment

 

Based on what?
Size of stadium?
Population of the town?
Past glories?

 

It certainly is a frustration that as a club we hover in the lower league, results wise regressing year in year out.

Some shoots of optimism are occurring but these are a long way from fruition.

As to, are we the worst run club, I don't know truthfully as I don't have context to others around us. But being single minded and looking at BCFC, I hope that very soon that such suggestions (with potential merit) will be a thing of the past.

 

Over our history I'm sure we have spent more time in bottom two than out, so surely we are in our natural home

 

Are you so bloody lonely you have to write this horse-shite

 

waiting for lockdowns to end so he can leave his bedroom

 

You could always support Leeds

 

By the way, worst run club in England has to be Stockport County, right?

They were Championship/Division One when I started watching, had all these foreign players, went all the way down to Conference North and dropped to part time football, although now they're in the play offs fighting to get back into the league with a new owner seeking to take them back to full time football.

Still, that's pretty drastic... Luckily for us, we bottomed out in League Two!
