Love the thought of Top chatting football, in a language he's not fluent in, with a football expert. 

 

It's like me or you chatting to Albert Einstein in German about physics, when the most we know is that magnets push against each other. 

Top not speaking English is pretty embarrassing really

 

Guys had the best education you can pay for and spent most his life with England as a second home

 

Says a lot about his intellect…

Pfft, speak for yourself! 

 

Or should I say, 'Sprechen Sie für sich selbst!'

John Percy is not usually wrong 

He has been wrong on numerous occasions this season where he's had to back track and edit articles.

I know one of the cleaners at Seagrave, and they told me that someone named Sean blocked the toilet today whilst visiting. 
 

Take that for what it’s worth.

Is that 100% certain or is it only 90% (from your source).   lol.

and some of our fans thought our situation was bad, 

this is one of the reasons Rohl is rated so highly when youve got an owner like this in charge

I've said before and will say again that the points deduction we're likely to receive will have to be unprecedented for a PSR charge for us not to compete for at least the play-offs. Sheffield United had a 2 point deduction and finished third, and still would have done if it had been 12. And they were heroically bad in the Prem the season before. Catastrophically awful. 

 

For us to be knocked out of play-off contention completely, we'd be talking similar to Derby's 21 point deduction or Luton's 30 a few years back. We aren't getting anything like that. We'll probably get between 4 and 8, which would affect us in a tight automatic promotion race but we'll likely have enough about us to be at least 8 points better than 18 Championship sides. 

 

So Röhl would probably have a defiant club wanting to say '**** you' to the EFL, a squad that's levels better than he currently has, money to spend, a youth setup and facilities in a different galaxy to Wednesday's and would be leaving by far the worst run club in the division.

 

We're far from well-run, but Wednesday is a clown show. We would be a huge upgrade by every conceivable metric. He may be looking at someone like Vincent Kompany as his trajectory; get a Championship club promoted, give a decent account of themselves in the Premier League even if relegated to put himself in the shop window and watch the Bundesliga come sniffing. Kompany has gone from a Premier League relegation battle to a Bundesliga title and Club World Cup football in twelve months. Röhl would probably back himself to do similar.

I agree, but it's not necessarily a choice for him between a really poorly-run club slipping towards the abyss and the most poorly-run club of them all, which is already in the abyss.

Don't get me wrong; if Brentford had come in for him, or a big Bundesliga club, we wouldn't have a chance. But he's clearly very keen to get out of Wednesday with exit talks ongoing, the Leicester job is comfortably the most attractive vacancy in the division he's currently managing in and it's all looking decidedly choreographed.

 But as @Bilo says, for as cack as it is,  we've still got one of the best squads, best training facilities by a mile, best bunch of young players coming through etc and considered a massive name for most managers at this level. He could fail here as clubs will look at the fact he's managed a club of our size as a good sign.

We are a big fish, especially at this level. With the youth players coming through, the players already here (at this level) and the training ground, we remain an attractive option. 
 

However, Rohl after dealing with one Thai based billionaire moron, why the **** does he want to jump right in with another. 
 

It’s not easy working in the environment he has been, that shows a key skill we absolutely need. Firefighting.

the 2 points sheff u got was for missing payments on agents fees or something;

and I agree with you about the points deduction we'll get, it will probably be something like 12 but we'll appeal and get it down to 8/7

and as you also said, Rohl will look at us as a stepping stone, i think we all know that he will, anyone with a brain cell will see any progressive up and coming manager would, even Enzo, but least we'd get a fee with Rohl if he was to come and another club wanted him, unlike someone like Dyche, where well, you dont see clubs going out their way to get someone like him from another club

thing is, the club need to have a succession plan, like Brighton do, already ear mark other managers of the same footballing ideology

Absolutely, this is the point I have been making. People look at his age and (lack of) time so far as a manager but doing that job even for 18 months will have matured him as a manager well beyond his years. 
 

He’s also got a lot more in terms of his experience going for him than Maresca when we took a chance on him. I wonder how many of those turning their noses up at Rohl were the same about Maresca. Maybe they were also dubious. 
 

Or were people falling over themselves for Maresca as he had been working for Pep? Rohl also has a strong background as assistant and coach with the likes of Bayern under Flick and the German national team. And his first job as manager has been streets ahead of Maresca’s failure at Parma.

 

I just disagree with people saying he has done nothing in his time at Sheffield Wednesday as that is factually wrong, not even something that is subjective and for opinion. To say he has done nothing also shows a lack of knowledge of football and assumes that doing ‘something’ equals only promotion and that all clubs are operating on an even keel.

My one sticking point with Rohl is that he's said he wants to go back to Germany.

 

It sort of feels a bit Maresca like where he will leave as soon as he gets the chance, leaving us looking for another manager within 12 months.

 

I know managers dont last long but I'd like to see someone try and build something here again, they are generally the most exciting times
