    He allegedly wants 20,000 Sheffield Wednesday fans to donate £100 each.

    Good luck with that, as the saying goes...

    It's actually quite interesting though.

    One the one hand, he's bang out of order.

    However, football fans do tend to get a bit above themselves, telling owners to **** off, "we don't want the Glazers here", demanding a say in how the Club is run & so on.

    Ask those fans to donate £100 each & see how that goes.

    Especially after those aces.

    I don't know what the Season Ticket prices were this Season, but he has probably had an extra £100 each off all the Season Ticket Holders before the Season started. With The OWLS being promoted into the Championship, I'm sure the Season Ticket prices would have gone up.

    This is where quality owners who understand the club, the area and the local economy are worth their weight in gold.

    My clubs owners have given us

    No price increase since 2008 despite promotion to the premier league where we stayed for 10 seasons.

    Free travel to all away league fixtures since 2014

    Same price season cards regardless of if you buy immediately or 1 day before the season starts eg Early bird discount applies right up to opening game day.

    Very affordable installment options.

    The fact that they recognise the impoverished socio economic status of the City and its people buys a lot of goodwill.

    Idiots like the Sheff Wed owner want to try and grab the Prem riches but get there on a shoestring.

    I feel so sorry for supporters of all clubs with owners like this.

    They would have to pay ME £100 to go and watch.

    Then I would still think twice depending on who they were playing.

    Seems like the HMRC bill has been paid, & Owls fans can rest easy. For now.

    Don't think he supports anyone , he's just got an obsessive hatred of Southampton , i think he was run down the street one time by Saints fans
    Edit: Or they were trying to steal his chocolate
