As a Wednesday fan who has been a season ticket holder for the past 5 years, I'm really glad you have done a video on this. The mainstream media doesn't seem to be giving it the attention it deserves. I though we needed a miracle to overcome Peterborough but it really does feel like the only way out of this mess is divine intervention!
As a blade it is shit to see Wednesday in such a state, forget the rivallary, I can't see the grunters (sorry lads) on this sort of trajectory. I wanna see another steel city derby next year :D
@@declantaylor336 I mean from a fan perspective it makes sense, the feelings you get from beating a rival that’s as good or better than you is unmatched, just battering them over n over gets boring and feels like any other match
@@ryansprouse7132 yeah so if I was a Sheffield United fan I’d definitely want to see my rival get better then me just so I can get the “feeling” of beating a rival that’s better. Get a grip you tool
I was at Hillsborough when they overturned Peterborough in the second leg of the playoffs and it's one of if not the craziest sporting events I've been to.
As a Wednesday fan I can tell you that this vid actually puts a relatively positive spin on things 😂. We are an utter basket case of a club. The chances of us dropping to L2 are significantly higher than us ever being a Premier League club again.
Clearly didn't watch the video, or if you did, didn't understand the content at all. I'm not a Wednesday fan, but clearly neither are you. What an utterly cretinous comment 🤦♀️
Don’t you dare use my towns name in vain, one day we’ll try and reverse the form. (from one shite manager to another, to another, to another.) Selling Alfie May is the biggest mistake they’ve done.
As a Wednesday supporter it's incredibly difficult to see this club suffer so much. I feel like mismanagement has led to the downfall. Great supporters, great players, great atmosphere. What a shame.
Darren Moore is a man who needs more respect in Football. At West Brom he was a modern day Club Legend coached the Kids and was a nice guy. We appointed him and didn't expect much but he nearly kept us up. He was sacked with us in the Play Offs only a few points of the Automatic Promotion Spots. I thought Big Dave should have stayed at Doncaster where he was well liked. Sheffield Wednesday was a basket case. But he is now at Huddersfield and I hope he does well there. As for Wednesday they are a mess they did put a fight in the second half against Albion as we nearly messed it up.
Was living in Bearwood when Moore was your manager. The number of messages I got off Baggies fans when we appointed him was great. Wish him all the luck in the world now at Hudds, if Chanceri sticks around I don't think we'll exist in 5 years.
Being someone that had no idea of the ins and outs of the EFL League One table last season, I loved the way Alfie narrated Sheff Wed's remarkable comeback and drama throughout the play offs (and even in how they lost their league lead in the first place)
You look at the likes of Bournemouth and Luton Town as Clubs punching above their weight. I always bring in Sheffield Wednesday, considering their history, their ground, their fans as the opposite example to the above clubs. I didn't realise until watching this documentary, just how badly run Wednesday currently is.... Wow! Their fans deserve a hell of a lot better than this.
As a Milan Fan, Sheffield Wednesday is in my watchlist because we have loaned out Devis Vasquez, a goalkeeper. I have to say it's sad to see that things are not improving. I hope our boy doesn't let you down.
I also likes Milan and that would be interesting what Devis would do in Sheff Wed but I think Milan is squandering the players they bought and the primavera was effectively a graveyard for career wise. I hope once he will get back he will get a chance to play for the first team and not shelved as 4-5. th goalkeeper.
Good video. I think that What on Earth is my favourite Alfie series. But here's a suggestion. Rosenborg BK deserves a What on Earth episode by now. That club is a total mess and a shadow of its former self. from being the dominant club by far in Norway, winning Eliteserien 13 straight, playing Champions League regularly. This year they had their worst opening 10 games since the 70's, relegation scrap the first half of the season and now stucked on 9th place with 29-35 in goal difference. They had their best period since ending the 13 year streak with Kåre Ingebrigtsen as coach during 2015 - 2018, winning Eliteserien 4 times in a row. Don't know why exactly, maybe the board got arrogant or something. But Kåre Ingebrigtsen got sacked in 2018 and the board justified the sacking as of not being able to play entertaining football(which sounds like total BS). That sacking case went to court. Rosenborg has been a mess since. Chaos both on and off the pitch And it doesn't look like to improve any time soon either. Rosenborg BK has not won the Eliteserien or the Norwegian Cup since 2018, got knocked out of the cup this yar in an embarressing fashion by a 3th tier club. Molde and Bodø/Glimt been miles ahead of Rosenborg on the pitch for the past 4 years and they look like to get their worst spot on the table for at least the past 35 years.

What an absolute shambles of a situation. I'm waiting for Chansiri to release another statement about this video! Who pn earth would want to manage them at the moment
Thing is Darren Moore most people know is deeply religious, commands a lot of respect from all the clubs he has played for and managed. So for Chansiri to say he was money grabbing just didn't fly with a lot of people. Just a horrible little man. I wish Wednesday fans all the best for the future.
Great video. As a Barnsley fan, I walked away from wembley in may with a feeling that SWFC wouldn't gain anything from their cruel win against us. Poor squad, crazy owner and huge debts I could see them being promoted as gaining the club nothing and it only got worse with moore going and chansiri alienating their fans even more. Even as someone who doesn't like SWFC I do feel for their fans, bad owners are far too common in English football.
Always had an affinity for Wednesday since 1993 I was only ten so even as a gooner I felt a little bit sorry for then, great city great stadium.... They deserve better.....
I'm a Man City fan. I went to university in Sheffield (late 80s, early 90s) and from that point always had a bit of a soft spot for Wednesday. Probably because it was a two club city where the alternative was a club called United who played in red. Sorry, Blades fans. Anyway, it was from my days in Sheffield where I learned a fair bit about Wednesday and I felt that they were very much a sleeping giant, just needing that one thing to restore them to their former glory. Of course, since then we've had the disaster and then the subsequent mismanagement of the club that has seen them drop quite a bit short of glory (and I was very disappointed that Arsenal beat them in both domestic cup finals in 1993 as well). It's annoying that football's ability to lose money in the lower tiers isn't being more urgently addressed. The alarm bells should've rung when Derby were in trouble, but nothing was done and no lessons were learned. Now we could well be on the cusp of a properly big club losing their status. Do we really need to lose the most successful club in Yorkshire before anything gets sorted? Anyway, to all you Wednesday fans: Keep the faith, guys, you never know when things will turn around for the better. We had a string of poor owners before Mansour arrived, so you never know!
Remember City totally filling every pub up Halifax Road in the early 00s when we were both dogshit, have felt similar since then for the City fans my age or older.
Stunningly thorough! I'd like to add that Lucas Joao had to hunt Chansiri down at his hotel to make him sell him for £5 million and it's interesting that the sale was to Reading, the club owner apparently an associate of Chansiri!
I’d like to see something about a club in our country. Fc Basel, used to be regularly in Champions League and beat some of the biggest clubs in Europe won 8 titles in a row between 2009-2017. but now are struggeling for years
I've been a Wednesday fan for 5 decades and this is the most lost I have ever seen the players, and the most divided I have ever seen the fans. It wasn't that long ago that Wednesday beat Brighton in a play-off semi final. Look where Brighton are now, and look where Wednesday are. It's polar opposites of how to run a club.
Great video sir! As a wednesday season ticket holder its a bit depressing but also made me chuckle, and god I need a laugh, but I'm still hopeful we'll get out of the mess we are in both on and off the field! Chansiri out! Warnock in!
Thank you for doing a video on our plight. Unfortunately as a fanbase we’ve let it get this bad way later than it should have because no one ever dares to speak up about him until now. Even now you’ve got some of our so called ‘fans’ scorning those who wish to protest I.e. the boos at the Middlesbrough game after the tennis balls were thrown on the pitch
Both Sheffield teams could very well finish bottom of their respective leagues the EPL and Championship respectively it really is a city in football terms that has been underachieving for many decades now
They both did in 20/21. Found that interesting and the only example I could find of this happening to two teams in the same city was in the 1960’s and I *think* it was QPR and Fulham.
Moore was a shite manager took 2 seasons to get back into the championship and nearly didn’t do it Barnsley were 100% the better team at Wembley and should’ve won that game
Thanks Alfie this video is dpot on. I can see us going into admin soon as the owner is too proud to admit what a mess he's made. I fear we may become third/fourth tier stalwarts in the near future.
When has anything been OK with Sheffield Wednesday since they dropped out of the EPL in 2000 they have mostly lurched from one crisis to another since then
@@WickerrmanYou could argue that the poor decisions started when they asked Vic Buckingham to leave and never replaced good players from the successful side of the early/mid 60s. Spent 30 years starving the squad to feed the ground and now they're starving both
Sheffield Wednesday is one of my favourite respective footballing teams in one of my official nations and ever in this world but this is relatively easy and the reason is that the owner himself foolishly sacked Darren Moore sir before the start of the season and he did put on his tantrum in his recent statement,good friends!!!As a lifelong English Football League supporter ever since I was a child,the future is not looking good unless if the owner would sell the team to a suitable owner because,he is the one who is to be blamed first,good friends!!!LONG LIVE SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY!!!🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️

🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 Day 11 - Alfie, please do a video on the pitiful situation the Bulgarian national football team is currently in. Here are a couple of points to give you an idea about what I'm talking about: - Currently, the team is in a streak of 8 winless games, at the bottom of its qualification group for the 2024 Euro, with no chances of qualifying, after losing to opponents such as Montenegro and Lithuania. - The team's last win was almost a year ago - on 16.11.2022 in a friendly against Cyprus. Our last win in an official match was more than a year ago - on 26.09.2022 against North Macedonia. - The national football team of Bulgaria has been constantly performing bad for at least the last 20 years. The last big tournament we played was the 2004 Euro in Portugal, where we were humiliated in the group stage. - Many supporters blame the current bosses of the Bulgarian Football Union for this downfall. The most notable of them are Borislav Mihaylov, Emil Kostadinov and Yordan Lechkov - 3 players who were part of the great 1994 WC team which reached the semi-finals of the tournament. Sadly, those people's success as players has been overshadowed by their lack of capability or willingness to resolve many of the problems in our football - the out-of-date training systems, the poor football infrastructure etc. What's worse is that they refuse to resign a failure after another and they have changed the rules of the union in a way that makes them irremovable for more than 18 years. - Recently a couple of players from the next generation - Dimitar Berbatov, Stiliyan Petrov and Martin Petrov started a campaign, trying to overthrow the aforementioned but as I said the rules are in the bosses' favour. - Meanwhile fans are getting really angry with the situation and are starting to take measures. During the last couple of weeks, at many matches of the First and Second Football Leagues the fans were chanting against Mihaylov and company and displayed banners against them. Of course, the BFU fined the clubs for "obscene chants and banners". - There is a campaign on social media calling fans of all local clubs to put their differences aside and come to the Euro qualifier with Hungary on 16.11 and show their disapproval of the current BFU leaders. That's the main points, I'm sure that if you dig a little you'll find much more. Please consider doing such a video, the anti-BFU sentiments are getting stronger and we need to disturb those self-serving ex-legends in every way possible. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Relegation in 2020/21 season. Failed to achieve immediate promotion in 2021/22 season. Get promoted in 2022/23 season. And yes, both Sheffield clubs are just capitulated with almost identical record. No single win at their hands, sat on bottom of the table, and humiliating defeats. Sheffield United is even worse. Losing 0-8 to Newcastle United is such an embarrassing because they did this at Bramall Lane.
I'd argue Chansiri is one of the worst owners in British football right now. He acts like a spoilt child, constantly alienates the fanbase and can't take any criticism. It's sad to see a club of Wednesday's size so poorly run.
Now you should do a “What on earth is going on at Rangers” Going from a Europa League Final to the position they’re currently in, I think that would make an interesting video
As a fan base we've sadly become accustomed to disappointment/difficult times, but this I feel is the lowest point. Can't see us ever going in the right direction until the owner goes, which I don't hold much hope for it being anytime soon. As others have said, there is more chance of us playing in league 2 than in the Premier league. All that effort and monumental achievement in the play offs, just to appear (as things stand) to throw it all away. Sad times.
I would like to see a video on St. Louis City SC of the MLS from a British perspective Expansion Team Broke record for most wins by MLS Expansion Team with 17 Best Record in the Western Conference, securing a CONCACAF Champions League bid in the process.
Always hard a soft spot for the Sheffield clubs and very sad state of affairs for Wednesday who have a great history and following. If I had money, they would be an ideal club to takeover and try to revive. Hoping it somehow works out for them. Seems to be very little media coverage on the situation, this was another good and interesting video! Might be one of the my first football manager saves this year - love a good firefighter challenge
Yeah you won't see any media attention on clubs below the Prem, they just don't really care. You can see some attention from Talksport, but that's about it tbh.
We're a shit proposition for a buyout now we don't own our own ground and are too poor as a fanbase to afford the fees needed to fund success under Profit & Sustainability
Fuck ‘um - they’re getting what they deserve. As an Ipswich Town supporter we we had a front row seat to their supporters arrogance last season- was happy to see Moore escape the basket case club, he deserved better.
As a Millwall fan, every day I feel more and more grateful for the way in which the late John Berylson ran the club. We're not beholden to the whims of a greedy investor looking to make a quick buck, or a petty tyrant who has no idea what they're doing. We're not facing a financial black hole or an existential crisis. I wish every club could be that lucky, but it feels like things in the EFL are only going to get worse before they get better.
I literally just started a Sheffield Wednesdays fc 24 career mode and wanted to listen to a what has happen to Sheffield Wednesday while playing. Guess I can now 😂
Hey Alfie, great video as per usual :), could you please do a What on Earth is going on at FC Basel? They are currently rock bottom of the Swiss Super League, having won only 1 league match, back in July this season. A stark contrast to their season last year where they reached the semis of the Conference League and finished 5th in the league.
Alfie, as I’m a Leeds United fan, I’m sure you’ll instinctively hate me. Nevertheless, my fiancée and I love listening to your videos. They’ve brought us closer together, and we both really appreciate you. All the best.
I’m a Huddersfield supporter, you need Neil Warnock Ronnie jebson to save you I’m gutted there still not at Huddersfield, they can make mediocre players into good players they install confidence into the squad!! I hope Daren Moore can do the same for us !! Good luck !!
I'm a Blade so I thoroughly enjoyed this. Even though I am sad that things like this are becoming increasingly common in football in general. I also like the afct that the shot of Sheffield at the beginning included Bramall Lane, just to rub some salt in the wound.
The reason Sheffield Wednesday haven't won a single game so far this season is simple! DM got them back in The Championship after an amazing result in the play offs, one of the best comebacks in football history. Now you would think that with promotion achieved they would do everything in their power to keep the manager after all the great work he's done for the club, but no! whatever the discussions were between the SW Board and DM something broke down, whether it was money or something else who knows? now they have sacked their new manager who couldn't get anything out of the team and at this rate they will be relegated for sure. DM is a good manager, when things aren't broken don't try and fix them! Lesson learnt I hope.
The team which scraped through the play offs at the second attempt, was nowhere near Championship level. DM knew it needed major change and a lot of work.
See the issue is that people are continuing to support Wednesday. It’s horrible because it’s not an issue of the fans. They have been nothing but amazing. I wonder if they could do a Phoenix club. Imagine half of that support coming to a 7th tier game. And let the original Wednesday die. Because it’s not Sheffield Wednesday anymore. It is “Chansiri FC”. Or at least that is what the idiot owner is making it sound like.
im still optimistic someone will buy wednesday, the club has way too much history and such an incredible set of fans there is a rich perosn just around the corner looking to save one of englands most iconic football clubs 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@petesmart1983 it's ironic our owner was classed as "not fit and proper" to own a club when he tried to buy one in the Prem League but the EFL allowed him to buy us.

The replay of that final was literally the first game of football I ever watched.
I'm a Man City fan. I went to university in Sheffield (late 80s, early 90s) and from that point always had a bit of a soft spot for Wednesday. Probably because it was a two club city where the alternative was a club called United who played in red. Sorry, Blades fans. Anyway, it was from my days in Sheffield where I learned a fair bit about Wednesday and I felt that they were very much a sleeping giant, just needing that one thing to restore them to their former glory. Of course, since then we've had the disaster and then the subsequent mismanagement of the club that has seen them drop quite a bit short of glory (and I was very disappointed that Arsenal beat them in both domestic cup finals in 1993 as well).
It's annoying that football's ability to lose money in the lower tiers isn't being more urgently addressed. The alarm bells should've rung when Derby were in trouble, but nothing was done and no lessons were learned. Now we could well be on the cusp of a properly big club losing their status. Do we really need to lose the most successful club in Yorkshire before anything gets sorted?
Anyway, to all you Wednesday fans: Keep the faith, guys, you never know when things will turn around for the better. We had a string of poor owners before Mansour arrived, so you never know!
Remember City totally filling every pub up Halifax Road in the early 00s when we were both dogshit, have felt similar since then for the City fans my age or older.
Stunningly thorough! I'd like to add that Lucas Joao had to hunt Chansiri down at his hotel to make him sell him for £5 million and it's interesting that the sale was to Reading, the club owner apparently an associate of Chansiri!
what a video this is. as an outsider, captured our recent struggles unbelievably.
I’d like to see something about a club in our country. Fc Basel, used to be regularly in Champions League and beat some of the biggest clubs in Europe won 8 titles in a row between 2009-2017. but now are struggeling for years
I've been a Wednesday fan for 5 decades and this is the most lost I have ever seen the players, and the most divided I have ever seen the fans. It wasn't that long ago that Wednesday beat Brighton in a play-off semi final. Look where Brighton are now, and look where Wednesday are. It's polar opposites of how to run a club.
Great video sir! As a wednesday season ticket holder its a bit depressing but also made me chuckle, and god I need a laugh, but I'm still hopeful we'll get out of the mess we are in both on and off the field! Chansiri out! Warnock in!
Thank you for doing a video on our plight.
Unfortunately as a fanbase we’ve let it get this bad way later than it should have because no one ever dares to speak up about him until now. Even now you’ve got some of our so called ‘fans’ scorning those who wish to protest I.e. the boos at the Middlesbrough game after the tennis balls were thrown on the pitch
Dejphon Chansiri seems to be solid proof of why dynastic wealth is a bad thing: eventually it's the family idiot who winds up with the silverware.
Gotta love DC, he's always good for a laugh when he has a rant😂😂😂
His older brother works for the family business and will inherit it - they clearly sent the idiot son to us to get rid of him.
@@davethemagicweasel1set him up running D Taxis, didn't they!?
Both Sheffield teams could very well finish bottom of their respective leagues the EPL and Championship respectively it really is a city in football terms that has been underachieving for many decades now
We will never see a Sheffield Derby in the league ever again it seems like 💀
@@bababababababa6124only way is if Wednesday miraculously stay up
United is 100% getting relegated 😂
Which city has been overachieving then? Wolverhampton? Brighton?
And the non-league side Sheffield FC are stuck mid-table in the Northern League East.
They both did in 20/21. Found that interesting and the only example I could find of this happening to two teams in the same city was in the 1960’s and I *think* it was QPR and Fulham.
I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before us Owls got an HITC Sevens video given the state we're in 😅
I honestly love that you managed to get a dig in at Steve Evans in a video about Wednesday. Made my day
Should’ve kept Darren Moore
Moore was a shite manager took 2 seasons to get back into the championship and nearly didn’t do it Barnsley were 100% the better team at Wembley and should’ve won that game
Darren Moore is an average league 1 manager at best.
@@craigbayliss829A mediocre league 1 manager would be an improvement on what they have right now, mind.
@@craigbayliss829 You don't know that until he gets a proper chance at a higher level, we'll see how he does if he's given a chance at Huddersfield.
Thanks Alfie this video is dpot on. I can see us going into admin soon as the owner is too proud to admit what a mess he's made. I fear we may become third/fourth tier stalwarts in the near future.
JUST GOT OUT OF BOTTOM 3 PREY FOR US BROTHER THE MIRACLE OF 24 IS HAPPENING
Thanks for this Alfie, the more coverage it gets the better - Chansiri has gotten off lightly for far too long, the man's a cancer.
As someone from Sheffield and currently living in london near QPR and Chelsea I think I am possible a football curse.
it is remarkable the EFL has NOTHING in place to stop these clueless owners taking over clubs. It is a sad indictment of the English game.
When has anything been OK with Sheffield Wednesday since they dropped out of the EPL in 2000 they have mostly lurched from one crisis to another since then
It all started with Dave Richards, ditching us and leaving us in the lurch for his cushy Prem job.
@@WickerrmanYou could argue that the poor decisions started when they asked Vic Buckingham to leave and never replaced good players from the successful side of the early/mid 60s. Spent 30 years starving the squad to feed the ground and now they're starving both
I love all Alfie uploads. As a Wednesday fan, though, this is the first video of his that I've been dreading...
Feel like a proud dad watching my team get the HITC sevens treatment, except our club is going into a perpetual crisis and it’s really not funny
Absolutely spot on. Some of my fellow Wednesday fans won’t hear a bad word said about Chansiri’s ownership, but the club is all but dead.
Who are these Wednesday fans you know? Att Chansiri and his butler?
Wednesday just defeated Blackburn which astonishingly gets them out of the drop zone, I fancy them staying up provided they at least beat Sunderland
35 mins??? Damn Alfie I need to sleep (live in Pacific Time 😭)
Spot on in all areas - Source: Depressed SWFC season ticket holder for more than 20 years
Love that all the teams I follow are getting videos like this! Yaaay!
Never thought I'd see an episode on my club. You have to laugh so you don't cry.
thought he would have made one when we went down the first place. better late than never i suppose
Do one about Watford, sack a manager after 10 games who then goes on to get their rivals promoted while they flounder in mid table….
You could do episodes in this series for about 80 of the EPL/EFL clubs at the moment
Sheffield Wednesday is one of my favourite respective footballing teams in one of my official nations and ever in this world but this is relatively easy and the reason is that the owner himself foolishly sacked Darren Moore sir before the start of the season and he did put on his tantrum in his recent statement,good friends!!!As a lifelong English Football League supporter ever since I was a child,the future is not looking good unless if the owner would sell the team to a suitable owner because,he is the one who is to be blamed first,good friends!!!LONG LIVE SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY!!!🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️
💪 Sheffield Wednesday is the best. They'll get it sorted. Sheffield is a beautiful city too 🥰
@@RugnirSvenstarr You are extremely so right and ever in this world and they will get their new ownership go be sorted as soon as Chansiri would be selling the club,good friend!!!🏋♂️
🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬
Day 11 - Alfie, please do a video on the pitiful situation the Bulgarian national football team is currently in. Here are a couple of points to give you an idea about what I'm talking about:
- Currently, the team is in a streak of 8 winless games, at the bottom of its qualification group for the 2024 Euro, with no chances of qualifying, after losing to opponents such as Montenegro and Lithuania.
- The team's last win was almost a year ago - on 16.11.2022 in a friendly against Cyprus. Our last win in an official match was more than a year ago - on 26.09.2022 against North Macedonia.
- The national football team of Bulgaria has been constantly performing bad for at least the last 20 years. The last big tournament we played was the 2004 Euro in Portugal, where we were humiliated in the group stage.
- Many supporters blame the current bosses of the Bulgarian Football Union for this downfall. The most notable of them are Borislav Mihaylov, Emil Kostadinov and Yordan Lechkov - 3 players who were part of the great 1994 WC team which reached the semi-finals of the tournament. Sadly, those people's success as players has been overshadowed by their lack of capability or willingness to resolve many of the problems in our football - the out-of-date training systems, the poor football infrastructure etc. What's worse is that they refuse to resign a failure after another and they have changed the rules of the union in a way that makes them irremovable for more than 18 years.
- Recently a couple of players from the next generation - Dimitar Berbatov, Stiliyan Petrov and Martin Petrov started a campaign, trying to overthrow the aforementioned but as I said the rules are in the bosses' favour.
- Meanwhile fans are getting really angry with the situation and are starting to take measures. During the last couple of weeks, at many matches of the First and Second Football Leagues the fans were chanting against Mihaylov and company and displayed banners against them. Of course, the BFU fined the clubs for "obscene chants and banners".
- There is a campaign on social media calling fans of all local clubs to put their differences aside and come to the Euro qualifier with Hungary on 16.11 and show their disapproval of the current BFU leaders.
That's the main points, I'm sure that if you dig a little you'll find much more. Please consider doing such a video, the anti-BFU sentiments are getting stronger and we need to disturb those self-serving ex-legends in every way possible. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Very good summary you've put together. Thank you.
Relegation in 2020/21 season.
Failed to achieve immediate promotion in 2021/22 season.
Get promoted in 2022/23 season.
And yes, both Sheffield clubs are just capitulated with almost identical record. No single win at their hands, sat on bottom of the table, and humiliating defeats.
Sheffield United is even worse. Losing 0-8 to Newcastle United is such an embarrassing because they did this at Bramall Lane.
I'd argue Chansiri is one of the worst owners in British football right now. He acts like a spoilt child, constantly alienates the fanbase and can't take any criticism. It's sad to see a club of Wednesday's size so poorly run.
Now you should do a “What on earth is going on at Rangers” Going from a Europa League Final to the position they’re currently in, I think that would make an interesting video
The Carlton Palmer press conference story was also very funny.
As a fan base we've sadly become accustomed to disappointment/difficult times, but this I feel is the lowest point. Can't see us ever going in the right direction until the owner goes, which I don't hold much hope for it being anytime soon. As others have said, there is more chance of us playing in league 2 than in the Premier league. All that effort and monumental achievement in the play offs, just to appear (as things stand) to throw it all away. Sad times.
Please do a video of Ipswich Town "Are Ipswich Town the best footballing side to watch in England right now"
I would like to see a video on St. Louis City SC of the MLS from a British perspective
Expansion Team
Broke record for most wins by MLS Expansion Team with 17
Best Record in the Western Conference, securing a CONCACAF Champions League bid in the process.
Always hard a soft spot for the Sheffield clubs and very sad state of affairs for Wednesday who have a great history and following. If I had money, they would be an ideal club to takeover and try to revive. Hoping it somehow works out for them. Seems to be very little media coverage on the situation, this was another good and interesting video!
Might be one of the my first football manager saves this year - love a good firefighter challenge
Any club with united in their name are junk lol
Yeah you won't see any media attention on clubs below the Prem, they just don't really care. You can see some attention from Talksport, but that's about it tbh.
We're a shit proposition for a buyout now we don't own our own ground and are too poor as a fanbase to afford the fees needed to fund success under Profit & Sustainability
Spot on buddy as a Wednesday fan it’s a vey sad .to see the club run like this
They stayed up in the end. What a comeback!
To update this video Wednesday finally won in the league. On October 29 vs Rotherham 2-0. Their first win in 14 matches in the championship
At least we got to hear the metaphor you posted on twitter about yesterday
And now things are getting worse, i am so angry not just with our so called owner but the EFL-FA can let people like this do what they want to do
Babe wake up Alfie juc dropped another banger
Fuck ‘um - they’re getting what they deserve. As an Ipswich Town supporter we we had a front row seat to their supporters arrogance last season- was happy to see Moore escape the basket case club, he deserved better.
Absolutely nailed our dire situation. Hopefully people are starting to realise what a mess not just Wednesday but the entire game is in.
As a Millwall fan, every day I feel more and more grateful for the way in which the late John Berylson ran the club. We're not beholden to the whims of a greedy investor looking to make a quick buck, or a petty tyrant who has no idea what they're doing. We're not facing a financial black hole or an existential crisis. I wish every club could be that lucky, but it feels like things in the EFL are only going to get worse before they get better.
I literally just started a Sheffield Wednesdays fc 24 career mode and wanted to listen to a what has happen to Sheffield Wednesday while playing. Guess I can now 😂
Great summary! It's only been 3 weeks, and time for an update already.
Exciting young coaching talent Vs. Unpaid HMRC bills.
Hit the nail on the head here. My club is in a sorry state due to that little dictators ownership.
Babe wake up, new HITC Sevens video just dropped
Another team that got promoted with Wednesday last season isn't doing too badly having only spent £1.5M in the Summer...
Hey Alfie, great video as per usual :), could you please do a What on Earth is going on at FC Basel? They are currently rock bottom of the Swiss Super League, having won only 1 league match, back in July this season. A stark contrast to their season last year where they reached the semis of the Conference League and finished 5th in the league.
Thank you very much on the behalf of Sheffield Wednesday supporters from Balkans !!!
Omg you actually did it! Thanks Alfie, best content creator 👏 😁
We're a zombie club until Chancer leaves. Changing manager is akin to rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
CHANSIRI OUT.
Alfie, as I’m a Leeds United fan, I’m sure you’ll instinctively hate me. Nevertheless, my fiancée and I love listening to your videos. They’ve brought us closer together, and we both really appreciate you. All the best.
I’m a Huddersfield supporter, you need Neil Warnock Ronnie jebson to save you I’m gutted there still not at Huddersfield, they can make mediocre players into good players they install confidence into the squad!! I hope Daren Moore can do the same for us !! Good luck !!
"Shaw enough" and "Watmore" always make me laugh in these videos. Class 😂
I'm a Blade so I thoroughly enjoyed this. Even though I am sad that things like this are becoming increasingly common in football in general.
I also like the afct that the shot of Sheffield at the beginning included Bramall Lane, just to rub some salt in the wound.
I just don’t understand why Chansiri doesn’t capitalise on his John West tuna links and put the stuff on sale in the club shop.
It should be actually criminal to do this to a cultural asset like a football club.
Great video mate👍🏼 it’s a mess atm
I love when I don’t know a club is in crisis and I see you’ve posted a whole documentary talking about it 😅
Keep up the good work Alfie
The reason Sheffield Wednesday haven't won a single game so far this season is simple! DM got them back in The Championship after an amazing result in the play offs, one of the best comebacks in football history. Now you would think that with promotion achieved they would do everything in their power to keep the manager after all the great work he's done for the club, but no! whatever the discussions were between the SW Board and DM something broke down, whether it was money or something else who knows? now they have sacked their new manager who couldn't get anything out of the team and at this rate they will be relegated for sure. DM is a good manager, when things aren't broken don't try and fix them! Lesson learnt I hope.
The team which scraped through the play offs at the second attempt, was nowhere near Championship level. DM knew it needed major change and a lot of work.
I would love for Alfie to do an essay on Sheffield Wednesday's and Sheffield United's history.
It's tough as a Sheffield Wednesday fan who lives 2 hours drive away from Hillsborough with a season ticket
Remember two months ago when Wednesday were one of the great, inspiring, "this-is-why-we-love-football" success stories of the entire football league?
Thank you Alfie 🦉
When/if Wednesday go out of business that will leave Alfie as the most underrated thing in English football.
Truly an Edgar Allan Poe of out time.
When. Its when.
Can we get an update video now ha ha 😂
Too many bad owners in football right now. I hope for Wednesday fans that things turn around in the future
also FOREST GREEN MENTIONED GET IN
See the issue is that people are continuing to support Wednesday. It’s horrible because it’s not an issue of the fans. They have been nothing but amazing. I wonder if they could do a Phoenix club. Imagine half of that support coming to a 7th tier game. And let the original Wednesday die. Because it’s not Sheffield Wednesday anymore. It is “Chansiri FC”. Or at least that is what the idiot owner is making it sound like.
im still optimistic someone will buy wednesday, the club has way too much history and such an incredible set of fans there is a rich perosn just around the corner looking to save one of englands most iconic football clubs 🙏🙏🙏🙏
7:01 - JESUS, look at the boiler on that fella...........
As a Reading fan this is looking very familiar.
Sadly it's exactly the same without a transfer embargo but really the efl needs a fit and purpose owner thing like the prem have
@@petesmart1983 it's ironic our owner was classed as "not fit and proper" to own a club when he tried to buy one in the Prem League but the EFL allowed him to buy us. He had 2 struggling other clubs he owned and both folded and no longer exist. You never think it will happen to your club until it does.
Thank you for capturing our nightmare😂 did a good job though.
Wednesday is a huge club as well. History up the wazzoo.
