EcclesallOwl Posted 24 July 2013 Posted 24 July 2013 Former Birmingham City director Sammy Yu is heading a consortium looking to buy Sheffield Wednesday. BBC Radio Sheffield reports that Yu, who left Blues in September 2010, is in talks to purchase the club from current owner Milan Mandaric. Ex-Portsmouth and Leicester chairman Mandaric took over in December 2010. He revealed that the Owls were losing around £5m a year at the end of last season and suggested he would be willing to sell the Championship club. The Serb told BBC Radio Sheffield last month: "I'm not just looking for any buyer, I'm looking for the right buyer who can take this club where it wants to go. "There are a lot of people who come and have a look at the club but we're not pushing to sell the club at the moment. "I said before if someone proper comes along and they are the right person for the club then I will step aside." Wednesday finished 18th last season and have not played in the top flight of English football since 1999-2000. Yu's interest in the Owls follows recent reports that he had ended a bid to take over Birmingham.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 24 July 2013 Posted 24 July 2013 time for you & the french kid to stop crying!! What an utter gomper. That play-off semi is the only instance in the history of anything in which the victors have almost unanimously proven to be more bitter than their defeated counterparts and it's quite bizarre.

The Wednesdayites I know aren't too keen on the interest from this Chinese chap.
EcclesallOwl Posted 25 July 2013 Posted 25 July 2013 This one will be enjoyable for you lot.. We've upset Holloway! Sheffield Wednesday have signed ex-Austrian youth international striker Atdhe Nuhiu on a three-year deal. The Albania-born 23-year-old was a free agent after spending last season with Turkish side Eskisehirspor. The 6ft 6ins striker scored in both legs when Rapid Vienna knocked Aston Villa out of the Europa League in 2010. "We've been watching him for some months now and the kid is a real talents with loads of ability," boss Dave Jones told BBC Radio Sheffield. "He gives us another dimension and something totally different to what we've got. "He's got good movement, he's good with both feet and he links play very well. He's good in the air, as you'd expect, and we're absolutely delighted to have got him." @AdvertiserSport: Just got off the phone to Ian Holloway. Not happy - he liked Nuhiu. #cpfc
iamafox Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Bournemouth sign Andrew Surman on a season-long loan from Norwich, good signing for them.
SmithyFox12 Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Ross Turnbull has signed for Doncaster. Good signing for them IMO.
Ric Flair Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Bournemouth sign Andrew Surman on a season-long loan from Norwich, good signing for them. Fooking quality player. * shakes head *
MC Prussian Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Preparing myself for an abysmal season. We won't be going anywhere, not even down, which will be something I suppose. We're doomed if you say so. Has always worked in the past, so why not this season...?
MC Prussian Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 time for you & the french kid to stop crying!! Did you cry at Wemberley?
foxfanazer Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Ross Turnbull has signed for Doncaster. Good signing for them IMO.on loan?
Dan Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 They must have been as they have all signed permanent deals, they obviously know which teams have a chance of promotion to the promised land. How many players have Leicester signed? About as many as you have considering you've practically been given them all.
Wymsey Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 QPR sign Charlie Austin. Good, and probably a far less expensive, purchase.
Harry - LCFC Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Harry Forrester to Doncaster. http://www.football-league.co.uk/championship/news/20130731/forrester-seals-rovers-move_2293322_3333579

Harry - LCFC Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 @vivarovers Doncaster Rovers have signed Louis Tomlinson... he's a 'singer' in boyband One Direction. Expect Doncaster to trend iminently #drfc Really?
Swarles Barkley Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 @SkySportsNews: One Direction's @Louis_Tomlinson signs for Doncaster Rovers - more on #SSN now #92Live #OneDirection http://t.co/rPRKIGOo8w What the fvck is going on Doncaster attendance figures next season will definitely increase. Just a shame the majority will be teenage girls.
HEGGSY Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 From the Independent.... "The Championship club get their season underway on Saturday when they host Blackpool, although the chances of Tomlinson actually playing any part are zero. However, he may play in a reserve match in September or October." http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/once-direction-star-louis-tomlinson-signs-for-doncaster--but-dont-worry-1d-fans-hes-sticking-with-the-band-8742047.html It's a publicity stunt

Super_horns Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Watford close to signing Nick Powell on loan. Be interesting if we sign him - have a few attacking midfielders. Probably do with a striker or defensive midfielder.
