@The5herriff @swfc @umbro They’ve had a lot of problems with kit quality is my only concern, Villa and rangers two best examples. Harlequins too, lots of peeling logos etc. Hopefully they sort it out or they’ll keep losing business

@peter_w0730 @YesWeCrann Sunderland transfer model, if 30% come good then we’re in business

Could #SWFC create a permanent fan zone near Hillsborough, similar to Notts County’s “The Nest”? Herries Rd South has units advertised up to 17,000 sq ft. Food, bars, big screens, away-day screenings + year-round revenue. rightmove.co.uk/properties/155… @swfc @swfcTrust @storchyowl

@KerrieRoebuck @garry_birkwood @LowerTiers In fairness the new owners are gonna have to spend about 100 million just to get hillsborough and middlewood road functioning. Chansiri charged through the roof and we never saw the benefit (infrastructure wise)

@thederbydigest @ggggiififfifi @Nathanswfc2004 We are under a business plan

@thederbydigest @ggggiififfifi @Nathanswfc2004 Derby didn’t pay HMRC in full… thats the difference

AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT AT HILLSBOROUGH 🙌

Very pleased to have assisted David Storch and his consortium in the takeover of Sheffield Wednesday FC. Completing the transaction in time for the start of May, and enabling the Club to compete next season without a 15-point deduction, is an excellent outcome. A great deal of work went into this, and many people contributed. In particular: David and his investors; Asher at CAA; Keir and his team at Charles Russell; the SWFC Supporters Trust; Clive Betts MP; John and the Club staff; Kris and the team at Begbies; David and his team at Wiggin; and the EFL Executive. Sheffield Wednesday is a historic club with a remarkable fan base. It has been a privilege to play a small part in what is, I hope, the start of its return.  I look forward to getting to a match next season!

EFL Statement: Sheffield Wednesday under new ownership 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/… #EFL

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY REBORN

Newest addition to our family in Chicago #swfc

Sheffield Wednesday must be given a fair hearing. We are calling for independent scrutiny before any 15-point deduction is imposed. The current process lacks transparency and a clear route to appeal. Read the full statement on our website. swfctrust.co.uk/swfc-supporter… #FairDealForWednesday #swfc

The EFL has sanctioned Sheffield Wednesday consistently since 2018. Over that period, the club has been hit with multiple transfer embargoes spanning nearly a decade. By October 2025, Wednesday were under six simultaneous embargoes — the most any club has ever faced. On top of that, the club has suffered repeated points deductions. A -12 deduction in 2020/21 severely damaged recruitment and momentum going into that season. Although it was later reduced to -6 on appeal, the damage had already been done — those points ultimately proved the difference between survival and relegation to League One. In 2025, the situation worsened further. The club received: •-12 points for entering administration, after the former owner failed to meet basic financial obligations such as paying wages and bills on time •A further -6 point deduction, again due to the owner’s failure to uphold his responsibilities This is not a case of a club gaining an unfair advantage — quite the opposite. The club has been placed at a significant competitive disadvantage for years due to sustained mismanagement. Sheffield Wednesday has endured one of the most damaging ownership periods a club of its size is likely to experience. The former owner’s approach has not only harmed the club financially but also created a toxic environment for staff and supporters alike. And yet, despite this, there is now an expectation that the same owner should be repaid — while the club continues to face further punishment. How can that be justified? The new ownership group should not be penalised for the failures of the previous regime. They should be given the opportunity to restore stability to a club that has lacked it for nearly 26 years. Imposing further sanctions — such as another -15 point deduction, spending caps, business plan restrictions, and transfer limitations — would only deepen the damage. It risks condemning the club to yet another relegation and prolonging the cycle of instability. At some point, there has to be recognition that continued punishment is no longer corrective — it is excessive. The club, its staff, and its supporters deserve the chance to move forward. #FairDealForWednesday @storchyowl

Surprised you're not issuing the ban to #swfc instead. #FairDealForWednesday

Following the introduction of new legislation last month, which was supported by the EFL, two individuals have been issued with three-year banning orders for tailgating at Wembley Stadium during this year’s Carabao Cup Final.

🙏🫡 Well said!! @EFL you are punishing a club that has already been punished for the mistake of an owner you verified!! Another 15 points because the main creditor is the previous charlatan who treated the club with such disdain and carelessness. Compromise needed #swfc

This is completely wrong, Wednesday already heavily punished and could end up in League Two. The EFL's clubs need to get together and change rules so that context is taken into account re: kleptocratic/unfit ex-owners like Chansiri at #SWFC, Lai at #wba, Yongge at Reading.

The man who wants to rescue Sheffield Wednesday, American businessman David Storch, says he has been “informed that a 15-point penalty is set to be imposed at the start of next season” in League One. The outgoing owner Dejphon Chansiri should hang his head in shame at the damage

🫣 Some thoughts on SWFC: 1. Although the routes to appeal are limited in the EFL rules, it is surely possible to construct an arguable case - whether SWFC would win is a different question but a good lawyer 🤔 can find a way to at least get in front of an arbitration panel 2. Why are all routes to Chansiri left to the administrator? Any restrictions in the agreements should be waived to allow Storch to liaise directly with DC. It makes no sense for DC to be stubborn - give him a conditional earn out payable on each promotion or some other trigger 3. This matter has been on the table since Day 1 - Simon Jordan and I discussed extensively on Talksport and flagged the issue in October - a buyer can hardly now argue any unfairness in the EFL approach. The EFL have not wavered on their stance including publicly 4. Going to politicians is not a remedy. They have no role in a private set of rules voted on by the EFL members - if the rules are flawed legally, then use the legal process 5. The 15 point risk was always priced in - eg the bid I advised on could not proceed due to that risk on top of the other challenges. It’s already in the price and partly why Storch can buy

Morning all, let’s all keep up tagging @EFL it would be interesting to see if their finances are up to scratch. Maybe someone high up should do a finance investigation into their own business. #swfc #FairDealForWednesday

#FairDealForWednesday @EFL @EFL_Comms The EFL have a choice, side with the previous owner who showed no respect to either the club or English football or do the sensible thing and draw a line under the suffering and allow David and co a fair chance to repair the damage
