Katy Posted 24 February Posted 24 February Oh god, not this shite again Can the Wout Faes fan club please bugger off and form their own forum? I’m only just recovering from his aunt or sister or whoever the hell she is infiltrating every damn thread. No one cares about him, he’s shite with an horrific attitude and we have enough of them still in the squad who are actually here that we have to talk about. Can’t be arsed with someone who isn’t!

Talk about kicking someone when they are down. Its very rare that a club can gain any sporting advantage by going bust, why are the supporters of a club punished for the fact that the football authorities continue to let corrupt clowns from overseas destroy our clubs? If you are going to have things like FFP then you must punish the big boys too. In recent years Chelsea, United and City have done some very dubious business but its been allowed whilst they hammer the smaller clubs for everything they can. Said this multiple times, they stopped calling it Financial Fair Play because there is nothing fair about it. I've heard murmurings that we only got 6 points because if we were to go to League 1 we could go bust and the EFL are fearing we don't stay up. How can sabotaging a clubs stability be in any way justifiable??!? One of the reasons they had to rename it to Profit and Sustainability which in itself is laughable wording...

Yeah, the irony they changed the name as they obviously realised it wasn’t fair, out sustainable in it which is also clearly not the case! I have said it before, have an independent panel with no bias and knowledge of the sport to take over the decision making of basket case clubs like ours rather than points deductions. I would fully support this for us, and a wage cap implemented on the club in terms of how much any player can be given. 1

davieG Posted 22 March Posted 22 March Probably better to read it here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ceqv44qxjeno EFL fight a 'credible threat' to future of Sheff Wed 30:00 Media caption, Selling Sheffield Wednesday - watch the story of the club's desperate fight for survival By Dale Johnson Football issues correspondent Published 20 March 2026 465 Comments Sheffield Wednesday supporters thought they had won the war. But another battle has begun. Six months after the fans helped to force the Championship club into administration, ending of the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri, the fight is now with the EFL. "There is a real, credible threat to the future of Sheffield Wednesday," James Silverwood, the vice-chair of the club's Supporters' Trust, told BBC Sport. The row is about how the club comes out of administration. The EFL says it must enforce its rules, but if it does so at the most strict level Silverwood says it would be "excessive and punitive". Wednesday are likely to start next season in League One on -15 points if they fail to come out of administration paying enough to unsecured creditors. There could also be severe spending restrictions over transfer fees and salaries. It could lead to a second season of no hope and another relegation to League Two. Silverwood fears that if the EFL does not show some flexibility the club's preferred bidder, Arise Capital Partners, could walk away. "There is the potential that under those draconian restrictions, Sheffield Wednesday are not investable," Silverwood added. "And if nobody invests in Sheffield Wednesday, then it will be liquidated. We lose over 170 years of football in heritage and history." The clock is ticking for the EFL to find a solution that keeps everyone happy - the rest of the league, the Wednesday supporters and the club's prospective new owners. Wednesday supporters feel they have been repeatedly hammered already, all due to mismanagement by Chansiri. The Thai businessman sold off the club's best players last summer - or simply lost them because he had not paid them - in a desperate attempt to cling on. Relegation from the Championship was a formality before 18 points were deducted over administration and multiple financial breaches by Chansiri, who has been banned from football for three years. The South Yorkshire club were relegated last month, in record time, at the home of their city rivals, Sheffield United. And it could get worse. The Owls are four games from equalling Derby County's all-time record of 36 league matches without a win between 2007 and 2008. There are two more attempts to get a victory at Hillsborough to avoid the ignominy of becoming the first club to go an entire year without a home win. After a takeover bid failed last month, hope arrived with another preferred bidder - Arise Capital Partners, a consortium led by David Storch. It is hoped this might be completed in early May. But the offer to buy the club is just under £20m, which BBC Sport understands when broken down will represent around six pence in the pound to the unsecured creditors - of which Chansiri would be the major beneficiary. It is way short of the 25p in the pound required to avoid a 15-point penalty next season. On top of that the club will face a business plan to limit spending. Proposed EFL punishments 'make it a tough task' The EFL has a problem. It wants Wednesday to come out of administration but needs to be fair to the club's rivals in League One next season. Achieving both is no easy task. The EFL argues that it would send the wrong message if Wednesday could spend freely after coming out of administration, especially without paying a fair amount to creditors. But it is not just about the 15 points. Wednesday cannot pay any kind of transfer fees until the summer of 2027 after sanctions enforced under Chansiri's control. Then the EFL has proposed a total salary ceiling of £7m, with individual player wages capped at £7,000-a-week. The last time the Owls were in League One they had a wage bill of more than double that, at £15.8m. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire told BBC Sport this would put the club "in the bottom half of League One" on wages. "It is probably not dissimilar to clubs such as Bristol Rovers or Lincoln or Cambridge United," Maguire said. "When Derby County were promoted, they had a £17m budget. I'd imagine that the budgets for Birmingham City and Wrexham last season would be far in excess of that. "It's going to make it a tough task. And with a highly likely 15-point penalty even more difficult." Perhaps most crucially, the Owls do not have a functioning team. They would have to try to build a squad without funds and start with that points deduction. "It means that Wednesday would be fishing in a pool which they probably don't want to be in," Maguire added. "There are players in League Two who are being paid more than the Wednesday squad are on at present."
hfaes Posted 22 April Posted 22 April On 24/02/2026 at 09:10, The Belgian said: Not exactly, but from most of what I read here about him all your troubles should have been resolved now that he isn't playing for LCFC anymore (quod non!) It's always easy to find a scapegoat, but it looks like you're going to have to find a new one (and have found one already in Okoli or L. Thomas ...) to blame for a On 24/02/2026 at 09:47, The Belgian said: I'm not about to start a polemic on this (unlike @hfaes) so here's my final answer to that matter : ALL of Belgian's national team "fans" (note the quotation marks!) hate or dislike ALL current defenders. Undoubtedly the quality of our defenders has plummeted after the likes of Kompany, Vermaelen, etc. So these so-called fans comment on every mistake made by ANY defender (true Faes gets more than his fair share). Even when "stars" like Doku BLUNDER (cfr Belgium vs. Slovakia on the previous EC) the blame is put with the defenders ... Something else that's going on is the rivalry between clubs (let me enlighten you) : Belgian's national team has NO fans, they are all stuck in their hatred for eachother's club. Bruges fans hate (former) Anderlecht players, Anderlecht fans hate Bruges or Standard players and so on . So yes, you will read a lot of "hatred" from the "fans". To end some statistics : in 8 EC qualifier games Belgium conceded 4 goals (0.5/game), in 4 EC games Belgium conceded 2 goals (0.5/game)* Not too bad for a "tosser" I think. * 1 goal after Doku's blunder against Slovakia and 1 own goal by Jan Vertonghen against France, but you are right : "fans"blamed and hate Faes for thes goals, like LCFC "fans" they also are in desperate need of a scapegoat. Have a nice day! let’s be honest, our National team is bad….better that Wout is not in ….it is not good to be part of a failure team…on the world scène… 1

Karma being signing players like Wout for nearly £20m and paying him obscene wages relative to his ability. Yes, we got what we deserved for continuing to make incompetent business decisions. Looking forward to Monaco giving us a nice healthy bid for his services and his wages off the books. I'm not even someone that has a hatred for Wout, he made a lot of mistakes but he wasn't the worst offender, I think he was just overpaid for the performances he has put in for us since day 1.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Who has ruined than the asset of LCFC???" We know we are in this situation because of massive mismanagement of the club. It's not Wouts fault we paid what we did, it's not his fault we gave him the wages we did, and it's not his fault for staying and collecting those wages. It is the clubs fault for paying those sorts of amounts in the first place, we paid way too much relative to the performances, as we have done with most of this team. If he goes on to have an amazing career at another club, that's great, sometimes a fresh environment is just what a player needs to thrive. If he's worth it, Monaco will bid. If he isn't worth it, we will be stuck in this situation longer. Most of us here are angry with the ownership more than the players, but the players we feel did not care enough about the club to make their massive wages worthwhile, wout is one of those players we feel did not "earn" the amount we paid him. You are free to disagree, but I doubt Monaco will pay him the same amount, if they do, good for him.

Well, if I was LCFC I would approach Monaco with a lesser offer, because LCFC has to get rid of his wages.. .and be sure what I road that will happen…they don’t lift and come later on with a ridiculous offer, because every club knows, LCFC is in a corner in this matter….i don’t mean this in a bad way….just maybe/ probably reality..’.

This is the issue though and it sort of explains the point, because of modern player power, we are in a situation where LCFC have to now approach Monaco with a lesser offer if they don't meet our requirements, because the player has not lived up to expectations and not performed at the level required for such a high wage. The club are the main issue, we should never have paid that amount in the first place, Wout doesn't choose the transfer amount, but he does demand high wages, and unless he has a relegation clause that reduces his wages dramatically, we cannot afford to pay him, so we then have to beg Monaco to take him at a lower fee. Wout doesn't want to play for Leicester, the fans don't want him to play for us because we think he doesn't try hard enough and is too expensive, but I doubt Wout will want to accept a wage cut to move to Monaco?

Ofcourse he will, it is all about the taxes, Monaco doesn’t have to,pay that much too Wout, because Monaco is tax free…’ so his net wages won’t be lower, and being who I am, and knowing myself I think he will accept that….

We can only hope so. Sadly, players like Wout are in a position where if they don't leave, the club could be financially destroyed. It's our own fault, but the players will hopefully play their part and move on now so we can forget this whole thing happened. Other players like Vestergaard and Winks simply cannot stay, if they choose to stay, they are actively choosing to bankrupt this club for 1 years salary, and all of the hundreds of jobs that would be lost because of it. I just hope Wout has done enough to earn a move somewhere else.
