Wednesdayite group are not real fans. Stop fucking about with our beloved club and give it chance to move on you bunch of twats.
Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dave Allen has blamed the Wednesdayite supporters group for the collapse of the proposed takeover by leisure tycoon Paul Gregg.
In a press conference held this afternoon chairman Allen accused the supporters group of holding onto the 10% share in the club he has asked to be returned. He stated Wednesdayite's holding is the reason that put Gregg off the idea of investing.
Allen says he offered Wednesdayite a £500,000 investment in the club for a return of their shareholding.
As a result of the shares remaining in Wednesdayite's hands the chairman stated the club's ownership would remain the same:
"There's no deal, we just carry on as we are, if they're [Wednesdayite] not willing to do that we'll just carry on as we are.
"It's not easy here, what he would have to do is purchase 29.9% from the three big shareholders, and then take a chance in making an offer to the rest."
Allen read out the statement issued by Gregg saying:
"This decision was reached reluctantly after much internal discussion... as you are aware our client had completed the satisfactory due diligence at the club.
"But one of the crucial reasons why our client decided to withdraw was his recognition that the acquisition of only 30% of the club could be delivered with any definite certainty.
"However it was felt that control was necessary for our client... in addition the potential blocking ability of the supporter's trust 10% shareholding in the company was a clear detraction from making the full offer."
Earlier today we spoke with John Gath, Wednesdayite's vice president and told us he wasn't expecting any changes to be announced at the press conference:
"It looks as though we might be facing, yet again another round of 'it's all Wednesdayite's fault'.
"I don't see how it can be, Mr Allen himself has said he's been negotiating for six months, now you would have thought they would have been aware of our shareholding, and if they thought there might be a problem they would be in touch.
"If the issue really is a deal breaker, what aren't they talking to us about it? We've offered, and offered and offered to discuss the issue... but we get no response."
So we have what appears to be a stalemate. Neither side are willing to move, Dave Allen won't speak to Wednesdayite and Wednesdayite won't give back the shares they have under the proposal offered by Allen.

Sorry H, HGO, but I completly side with Wednesdayite on this one.
The name-calling from Dave, just goes to show how small minded and petty the man really is.
To label our supporters "yobs", "hooligans", "cretins", "scum" is not on. It's childish and horrific to think we have this man running our club.
Wednesdayite have done their best and I don't see how 10% of shares can be the reason the takeover fell through. It doesn't add up, especially when Wednesdayite claim Gregg never even contacted them to find out what the situation is.
I find it quite suprising that some of our fans would rather side with a buisnessmen over their own.
Allen OUT! Wednesdayite IN!

Looks like a right mess to me! It is. Neither party will budge and I fear this is something that will drag on for along time ahead. I knew all along this takeover wouldn't happen, even when the press conference was called, I had something in the back of my mind telling me it wasn't going to happen. The press conference has made a mockery of what was already a depressing situation.

My thoughts exactly! as we saw with you guys last season. I don't even think we are too far off having a squad capable of mounting a serious promotion bid. Three or four players should see us able to compete. However, it doesn't help when your chairman lets your best striker move a championship rival for nothing, and then admitt we can't afford to replace him. Whilst we're stuck with Mr. Allen, the only place we're heading is back to the gloomy days of League One

These fans are the ones that wanted to keep Sturrock at the helm and bring Bates into the club. Yes Allen is a knob and his PR leaves a ot to be desired but he's stopped the club from haemorraging money and now he just wants to sell the club on like a businessman does. Wednesdayite should give the club and opportunity to move forward instead of trying to just always throw a spanner in the works because the power has gone to their heads!
