@BuildsByKB When you put that in a Google search the first thing that appears is “assume your not a Wednesday fan” 😂😂😂

🦉 Believe the Storch group, who are seeking to take over Sheffield Wednesday, had a Zoom call this afternoon with the EFL and reps from the Independent Regulator. Told it went well and that no issues were flagged. EFL process continues. #swfc
English
@SouthStandPies Have a quick look at Ipswich and hoe their investors and ownership model is continually evolving. You will get your answer on how Americans work
English
The behaviour of Storch & Co gives me a sense that they aren’t going anywhere.
But I also sense that they can’t fund #SWFC in the long run and appealing a points/spending restriction is going to take sometime.
So what’s going to happen?
English
@pxowl86 @TDWednesday Interesting didn’t notice that. He’s either taking it on warts and all or there is some deadline for him to withdraw (couldn’t blame him) he won’t risk losing a deposit only to be preferred bidder for a few weeks. Storch isn’t stupid like the previous one
English
@GoalShort @TDWednesday Said paid substantial deposit in club statement last week. It didn't say non refundable though, so wonder if this week is if he get it refunded or not
English
So Storch group is fully committed to getting a takeover done, lots of talks with EFL & stuff BUT the group might also walk away - pretty simple stuff! What does everyone else think? #swfc
English
@TDWednesday @griffiths_tom41 Just wondered why the star were reporting that this week was pivotal? He’s nowhere near close to getting through the fit and proper tests

@onaRohl @wellbeaten1977 Mel Morris write off over 100m worth of debt he was owed or they’d have gone bust. Yet when we ask DC to do the same they say we should be paying him the full 25% 🤷🏼♂️ Derby will always be the scum bags that ripped of the UK taxpayer. Ingrained into their history
English
@GoalShort @wellbeaten1977 Didn’t the previous guy Mel Morris (I think) have to drop his claim so they could sell it without points deduction. So technically they never paid all the creditors or am I wrong ?
English
See plenty of Derby fans telling us we should pay 25% to creditors or be punished
This the same club that ripped of the UK taxpayer for 18.78m when leaving admin? Our debt to the state upon leaving admin will be zero.
#swfc
English
@DaveLee101 @wellbeaten1977 Derby fans need to get of their high horse. They left more debt to HMRC alone than we will leave to creditors
Their behaviour lead to HMRC becoming a preferred creditor, which means like you say we must pay in full. But we owe them a few million, Derby owned them 25m 🤦♂️
English
@GoalShort @wellbeaten1977 Changes to the insolvency act (post EFL rules being made) means that SWFC must pay 100% of IR debt. Derby paid 25p in the £.
Not many realise this. Otherwise Derby would’ve had -15. Also their former owner did not claim a large amount of what he was owed.
English
@jabjcb @Cobby5 @David_O_91 @chriswswfc76 Shame we can’t rip the state off but after the last scum bags they changed the rules.
English
@Cobby5 @David_O_91 @chriswswfc76 Did you pay lot Mel Morris the £118m that he was owed? Did Mel Morris completely dismantle your playing squad to try to cling onto the club for another couple of months? If the answer to both of those questions is No, then you have no right to question the motives of #swfc
English
When it is argued, in various football disputes, that points deductions must be imposed even for inadvertent breaches, in order to vindicate compliant clubs, one has to wonder whether that reflects a genuine commitment to consistent strict enforcement in all cases, or is simply a position adopted for the purposes of a particular case.
Consistency is very important in sport - the lack of it can undermine public confidence in the integrity of the whole game.
I do not comment on any one individual case, I just hope that those involved in the decision making processes can see the merit in treating each case according to its particular circumstances rather than being inflexible in some, but very flexible in others.
That, I am sure, would help restore the confidence in sports arbitration we all wish for.

@Jamesreaney92 @Jonatha38633501 We won’t go bust. Will never happen. Regulator won’t stand by and let that happen
English
@GoalShort @Jonatha38633501 17 millon is a big punt for a league 2 club with a decrepted stadium and training ground...
English
If Storch pulls out is there anyone really there to rescue the club? I know Mike Ashley's name gets branded about but will he buy if the EFL won't back down? #SWFC
English
@Jonatha38633501 @Jamesreaney92 Always be someone who will take a punt
English
@GallacherSteve @verns290117 Yes course they are. Biggest club in Yorkshire
English
@GoalShort @verns290117 Well they are a bigger club
You could say massiveeeerrrr
😃

Wednesday pay the creditors or take your medicine 🤷🤷🤷🤷
It's the rules end of chat
Getting boring 😴
English
@reluctantnicko The league is boring and has been for a while. Difficult to watch most games now.
English
@reluctantnicko Over two legs. Chelsea let 8 in. Newcastle 8 and counting. Tottenham 5 and counting. City 5.
Best league in the world?
English
@GallacherSteve @verns290117 Leeds actually got the rules changed 👍

@StanCollymore @dannykellywords One of the greatest sports broadcasters I’ve ever heard, and no doubt will do again. All the best Danny everyone is behind you 👍
English
Sending my love to @dannykellywords after his news today.
Without you Dan I wouldn't have been able to fulfill my love of sports broadcasting, to share a lot of fun, laughter and superb times working together. To say I'm gutted, devastated and anxious doesn't even scratch the surface. But I KNOW you'll come through the other end safely.
You did a lot for men generally today by encouraging others to get checked, a mark of the man that while processing personal news you still have others in mind.
And to echo Danny's words today, especially to men and even more so for men of a certain vintage, if feel something's off, please go to the Dr.

@robstaton Pederson will get the same when he goes. That’s this app I’m afraid

A good man who was desperate to succeed at Rotherham. Took on a very difficult job, as the managerial churn at #RUFC shows. Already some of the replies to this tweet are head in hands stuff.

An open letter from the outgoing Matt Hamshaw. ✉️ "I want to start by saying that it has been a huge honour and I am sorry that it hasn't turned out the way we all wanted it to this season." #RUFC | #TownCountyUnited

@TrapitJon Derby came out of all restrictions a year after exiting admin. They have a wage budget as well. If we can do the same as they that’s a result. They were signing players like Connor Hourihane immediately after leaving admin.
English
@GoalShort I think the wage restrictions could also be negotiated. I think Derby were given much lighter restrictions based on their revenue even though they had avoided the deduction
English
Odd comment this. If it does refer to #swfc it doesn’t sound too good. Sounds a bit accepting of an ‘unfair’ situation
