I consider myself to be a reasonable man who will always look for two sides to a story. I myself am all in favour of paying debts off, if the only way to do this is by selling players then it's a 👍 from me as long as you replace the players who leave with a talent aswell.
Now, in your tenure here we have enjoyed a success second to no other owners and I will always be grateful for that, but this season you have managed to sh*t on 5000 season ticket holders along with what could have been an extra 1000-1500 pay on the day supporters and you've done it without any show of concern to us at all. We were riding along on the crest of a wave last season and you have disassembled a football club to the highest bidders. Pathetic. Us supporters are a nuisance to your business which is now infuriating me, along with many, many others. Why don't you let us know why you are doing what you are doing? You have plenty of opportunities to include us but you choose to shut us out! We may not be multi millionaires like you (jeez. I'm lucky if I have two pennies to rub together after my bills have been paid) but it doesn't mean that we are below you. We all need water and food to survive. We don't deserve to be shown so much disrespect that you treat us with.
Whatever happened to this so called 70/30 split? We must've brought in a minimum of £3m from sales so to my expert maths that makes £900,000 of transfer kitty for the management team. Where is £900,000 of talent on that pitch?
We played against 9 men today for a good 20 minutes and we still couldn't score because our manager hasn't got the talent that £900,000 can bring in for this league, this is your fault and for godsake don't get me started on the car crash that was called Dean Saunders. Your time at our club is quickly turning the dream into a fu**in nightmare.
For crying out loud we walked out of that ground today listening to Peterborough supporters singing that they only need 9 men!
So thankyou. Thankyou for turning us into the laughing stock of league one.
Life goes on. Whatever happens.

Waste of time mate, the Sheffield Mafia don't give a flying f00k about supporters. I think they believe that going down......and we are going down make no bones about it.....will be good for us because we will do well in the league below, and the supporters will come flooding back to see a winning team. What this crew don't understand is that they've fooled us this year with all the bullsh1t spin and it won't work again next year! Just watch the numbers drop in support and non renewing of ST's and we will be nearing Saltergate attendance levels......I do fear for our club again!!

The most dangerous aspect of all this is not relegation but at this rate the survival of the club as at present it is currently unsustainable.

What concerns me is the debt not coming down despite all the out-goings at record levels for a club like ours. What is happening to all the money?

We may well have lots more trouble and far greater concerns around the corner than relegation to league two.

It still bamboozles me how we have had the following...
£3.5 million in transfers
Two league championships
Two trips to Wembley
Cup winners
Play offs
Oh and an FA cup 4th round match against Derby that made us £350,000
We should be laughing &'bathing in champagne.....
......and we are skint & heavily in debt!!! 2+2 is making 6......nothing adds up ������������

How much do you think the players earn? That is where the money has gone. They do not play for free. An average attendance of 7k only brings in at best £100k per game. How you think we got £350k from the derby game is beyond me. It was only attended by 27k and the tickets were cheap, so at best the total ticket receipts were £350K, take off vat, expenses and the Fa's share and at the very best we might have got £100k. Re transfers we will not have got anything like £3.5m, as lots of different people take a cut including the players.

So thankyou. Thankyou for turning us into the laughing stock of league one.

It's time for Allen to market the club and move on. As you say, it's turning into a nightmare and he only has himself to blame I'm afraid.

This summer will prove very interesting.

The cup run, given the prize money should have grossed £300k, the wages should be based on incoming forcasts so that should be budgeted for, yet again our CEO excels, re the transfers yes your right, a lot of people probably did take a cut..DIDNT THEY.? Should some have got a cut is another matter!
