Own up Dave - it's all about making a profit from selling our club. I have to admit that I'm a bit confused by all this talk of Wednesdayite holding up the sale of the club. I am not a Wednesdayite fan nor a Dave Allen basher - but someone has to answer a few simple questions so all Owls fans can have a clear picture of what's going on. Firstly, when you take over any company you identify the shareholders and you talk to them about accepting your offer. Why did the potential buyers, faced with the Wednesdayite block of shares as an issue, not open discussions with them. They have made it plain they will sell if the buyer has our interests at heart. Secondly, if the buyer won't talk to Wednesdayite, why won't Dave Allen involve them? The answer could be all about money. In the Yorkshire Post recently the Hobson brothers were reported as having made a £1m offer for a 10% share of the club at 10p per share. That makes 10% equal to 10 million shares - supposedly the same size as the Wednesdayite holding. Paul Gregg offered 38p per share. That makes the Wednesdayite holding worth £3.8m if sold direct to him. Dave Allen has offered £500,000 for them - which would leave him a tidy profit of £3.3m. That's why Dave Allen won't talk to Wednesdayite or allow potential buyers to do so. I don't blame him - I'd like a pay day like that. But to blame Wednesdayite for the failure of any takeover when the answer is in Dave Allen's own hands is a bit 'rich'. If Dave Allen didn't care about the money he'd have involved Wednesdayite in the discussions. It's never going to happen so we'd better get used to this stalemate.

Agreed (or maybe just greed) Ive been thumping the same tub for months, Something real fishy about the Greg pull out. The only way forward for Wednesday is admin,Clear the lot out lose 10 pts and start again. New owners will be lining up to buy then. Who ever heard of anyone buying into a 30 mil debt,Wake up boys and girls.

admin is a way backwards- we end up with ten points off, relegation a real possibility and no guarentee we'll recover. the way forward is to look for investment while trying to move forward on the pitch, we could get the play-offs then anything could happen, and if we did end up winning npromotion thats the debt gone instantly, with a bit of cash to spare and no points deduction
