Wednesday have been in financial excrement since the early 90;s, when they invested big in players in the early days of the premier league. They then got relegated into the Championship with loads of 3 yr contracts BEFORE the parachute payments were introduced. It nigh on ruined them & proved to be a perfect example of the reason that parachute payments were introduced to compensate the huge disparity between what it meant to operate in just a league below the Premiership. Sad reflection on football when you can get 25,000 supporters & still be in the excrement !! . How football has changed in the last 30 yrs.  It's no longer about the number of fans that attend games, but so many other income streams that allow what us traditional supporters would regard as joke minow teams, to punch way above their weight. Unfortunately, the big money men behind these well placed(geographically) Frankenstein teams, tend to be in the south or major well connected metropolitan urban areas. Sadly Tetney aint one of em !!

We would happily take Barry Bannan off their hands if it helped them reduce their wages. Could offer him a player/coach role


Should we take his 40k a week wages on as well? I don't think Barry will be tearing his contract up anytime soon.

True enough. But maybe SWFC should be thinking about reducing his and other players wages, or ship them out.

Lets face it, if he IS on 40k a week, ship him out and that saves them £2m a year. His contract is up at the end of tis season anyway
