Retired, best job I've ever had. Does a bit of cycling, walking and SCUBA, plays a bit of croquet but mostly follows The Owls



Another amazing week in Sheffield with so many special moments. Every time I come here, I fall more in love with this city and its people, who have been so warm and welcoming. Great interactive Q&A with the @swfc staff at Hillsborough; their loyalty is admirable. We will restore joy and pride to the offices as we create a culture of excellence. I've been impressed with the strong civic leadership I've seen from Mayor @olivercoppard and @katejosephs. I have further enjoyed building a great relationship with Clive Betts. Also loved my time with Sheffield Wednesday Legend, @HirstyD9 who still has so much passion for the Owls. My team and I are working on so many important initiatives so that we can hit the ground running once we take over this wonderful club. Most notably; improvements to Hillsborough and the design of our kit and crest (stay tuned!😉). Had the opportunity to host a lunch at the outstanding new restaurant in the City Centre; Maria. You guys have to try it! We were joined by @LordBlunkett who enlightened us with his many stories spanning 75 years of genuine love for the club through the good times and not so. I finished my visit, stopping in at the Broomhill Tavern, relaxing over a pint with some new friends watching our match against Stoke City. I'd like to wish everybody a very Happy Easter weekend as we continue into next week heads down on this journey to rebuild this incredible football club. See you soon, David PS. was also lucky enough to find 2 vintage shirts @RagParade ... Love it! #wawaw #uto #swfc









EFL Chief Operating Officer Nick Craig, on Sheffield Wednesday: “The League want to see Sheffield Wednesday continue as a member of the EFL, but ultimately we have to also apply the terms of the League’s Insolvency Policy. “The policy, of which has been agreed with Clubs and is there to act as guidance for all Clubs and insolvency practitioners, seeks to balance the interests, not only of Sheffield Wednesday, but also of the other 71 Clubs in the EFL. “We remain open to continuing the conversations with the preferred bidders and the Administrators to try and find a solution that can see Sheffield Wednesday continue as a member of the League.” #SWFC



The treatment @CathrynFry has endured because of her involvement with us is nothing short of disgraceful by the mainstream media. What do people actually want? The truth or the nice, nice stories? You wonder why racing is in a mess when everyone is in it for themselves.




@BarstewardsThe @SystembetU @CathrynFry @JonasLeng @Bickley14 I had Saratoga, Johnnywho and Downmexicoway in a very profitable EW Trixie. The Cheltenham preview on Monday was well worth the Patreon subscription, I’ll be listening tonight 👏🏻





Sheffield Wednesday fans were immense at Pride Park today, livened up a pretty boring game.
