@modpies @Healthsafetyhse @EsteemSeeker77 @ExtremeFootbal4 County are in Nottingham, the other is in Nottinghamshire

@Healthsafetyhse @EsteemSeeker77 @ExtremeFootbal4 They were happy to be called Notts until relatively recently, it's a bit weird that they take such offence these days. Incidentally, only one club per town was allowed in the initial FL so Forest as the (then) second team in Nottingham were not considered for inclusion.

On this day in 1888, the English Football League was born. Representatives from 12 clubs met in London and created the world's first professional football league. Everything we love about modern club football started right there.

@flash_aah @StevenLewis1987 @BBCSheffield @footballheaven "However, many respondents were totally unsympathetic to the DCFC position, they thought the DCFC fans had shown no sympathy for SWFC and its point deduction/relegation, and DCFC deserved what was coming to them, up to and including liquidation." swfctrust.co.uk/news/derby-cou…

@StevenLewis1987 @BBCSheffield @footballheaven Nonsense. Nobody is wishing this on anyone. 🤦

Six months after the fans helped to force the club into administration, ending of the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri, the fight is now with the EFL. Read more: bbc.in/4lOf0jd #SWFC | @FootballHeaven

@CarsonK2001 @beamomcfc @EmiratesFACup A rugby stadium that holds 14k less than Wembley. Genuine fans already lose around 20k for the prawn sandwich brigade

@1FranDee @beamomcfc @EmiratesFACup lol, decent stadium at least

The 2026 #CommunityShield will take place at Principality Stadium on Sunday 16 August 🏟️ Find out more below 🔗

@CarsonK2001 @beamomcfc @EmiratesFACup The game that kick starts the new season in English football being played in Wales. Mint that.

@1FranDee @beamomcfc @EmiratesFACup ?

@CarsonK2001 @beamomcfc @EmiratesFACup 😂

@beamomcfc @EmiratesFACup What’d you mean? In terms of transport

@dcfccollection @TrapitJon @swfcscout They're going to tell you it's because MM dropped his claim and DC won't. They fail to acknowledge the 22 million MM walked with from the stadium sale and Clowes paid 35 million more than their current bid. They've just realised how grim it actually is.

@TrapitJon @swfcscout So what is your situation then? Why can't they pay 25p to creditors? Admin restrictions remain, same as everyone else - why should Sw get special treatment

I’m going to call it now, if the EFL insist on the -15 next season together with the wage bill and transfer restrictions then I think Storch will pull out of the deal to buy us.

@ggggiififfifi @dcfccollection @swfcscout Revenue

@dcfccollection @swfcscout yet you were allowed to spend an extra 5 million a year more than us based on the rumoured restrictions, its ridiculously harsh

@barxthefourth @AlanBiggs1 I'd be more concerned with the last paragraph of the article.

@AlanBiggs1 Isn’t Nick De Marco also chansiri’s lawyer as well…. See where u are going here Alan 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂

Wonder if the Storch group will try to negotiate with Dejphon Chansiri a buy-off of his debt? The most obvious (only?) way of avoiding -15 next season. And squaring off for all involved. Just a thought on a complex situation. #SWFC

@jabjcb @Here4a2ndtime @mps2576 @AlexJPMiller We had 5 players left

@Here4a2ndtime @mps2576 @AlexJPMiller Derby didn’t have their squad completely decimated by the outgoing owner beforehand mate. Derby were already well competitive for L1. Plus Morris waived all of his unsecured credit. Unlike Chansiri has done. You can’t compare the two cases.

🚨Update on Sheffield Wednesday sanctions heading into 2026/27 ❌EFL's 15-point stance 🗣️'Killer' recruitment caps to be discussed ⚽️Statement from EFL chief 🖊️Letter received by Arise 🤷‍♂️Where it could all leave takeover All in here👇 thestar.co.uk/sport/football… #SWFC🦉

@Caroline42565 @Walldanzig @mattwall0 Sanctions will be triggered when you exit administration regardless.

@Walldanzig @mattwall0 I know, but sanctions will be triggered if creditors aren't paid, which would be down to the new owners; the preferred bidders won't meet that requirement and are talking about needing additional investment.

Sheffield Wednesday fans are realising that you are basically on your own with no support from anyone until someone is daft enough to part with their money and save you! Thank you Sir David Clowes it was one of the worst years of my life

@ReedsSob1983 @scottneedham88 @GrantR_1867 He also walked away with 22 million for the stadium

@scottneedham88 @GrantR_1867 Walked away from a hell of a lot more than 15 million as well didnt he? Im just glad we still have a club because we were closer to non existence than we all realised

Pretty sure Derby were given a £12k a week cap after exiting administration. They finished just outside the play offs. #SWFC

@GrantR_1867 @MarkPriestley2 @henrywinter Morris also walked away with 22 million for the stadium

Nobody has broken these rules since they came into force in 2015, so this is new territory for the EFL in terms of how they apply the punishment. Derby didn’t have to repay Mel Morris because he wrote off £200m of the club’s debt, and they were also allowed to have £20m of their HMRC bill written off. Wednesday, on the other hand, are being made to pay theirs in full — rightly so, in my opinion. But why should Chansiri receive a payout after running the club into bankruptcy?

Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest football clubs in the world, their famous name woven into the tapestry of the game. Formed in 1867, elected to the Football League in 1892, founder members of the Premier League, four times champions of England, three times winners of the FA Cup, and the League Cup once. Such honours may be far back in history but Wednesday remain a powerful force in many lives, in families, communities, in Sheffield and beyond. It would be devastating to Wednesday supporters and deeply damaging to the reputation of English football if Wednesday lost their membership of the EFL because of the behaviour of an owner in Dejphon Chansiri who passed initial EFL ownership tests, was welcomed (let’s not forget), but turned out to be shamelessly irresponsible. Wednesday fans fear the club's existence might be at risk if the EFL imposes further punishments and restrictions that deter potential buyers. Stronger oversight of owners is clearly required and the EFL and PL did tighten their rules in 2023. The new Independent Football Regulator will introduce a proper licensing system for clubs and better oversight of owners. Unfortunately, the IFR did not come into force early enough to prevent Wednesday's downward slide under Chansiri. Wednesday are currently in administration and threatened with further EFL sanctions – a 15-point deduction for next season. This season's 18-point deduction all but guaranteed relegation from the Championship (confirmed on Feb 22). The League applies sanctions as punishment for debts and also as a deterrent to other clubs/owners. The EFL emphasises it is working with all parties to “try and find a solution that can see Sheffield Wednesday continue as a member of the League....but ultimately we have to also apply the terms of the League’s insolvency policy…which seeks to balance the interests, not only of Sheffield Wednesday, but also of the other 71 clubs”. Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust, fighting hard for their club’s survival, has now released a copy of the EFL’s insolvency policy and argues that it gives the League, in the Trust’s words, “absolute discretion when determining how to deal with clubs experiencing an insolvency event”. The Trust argues that “…further punitive sanctions risk undermining the very factors the EFL states it must consider - including the effect on supporters, the impact on the local community and the wider credibility of the league itself. “Sheffield Wednesday supporters are not seeking advantage over other clubs. It is entirely right that all EFL clubs should be treated fairly and consistently. That principle must include Sheffield Wednesday that has already suffered enormously during a decade in which the EFL’s own regulatory oversight failed to prevent the damage that unfolded. “We urge the EFL to apply its own guidance responsibly and ensure that the focus now is on allowing the club to recover, stabilise and move forward under new ownership. Sheffield Wednesday supporters have suffered enough.” #SWFC #EFL @SWFCTrust

@owlsaboutthat1 @GrantR_1867 He walked away with 22 million for the stadium

@GrantR_1867 We owe very little really to other creditors there’s just a shit tonne of them. The £18m being paid will cover most of them creditors. It is literally DC that isn’t getting a penny. Ironic that Derby didn’t give their dc the money and they were happy with that

You know what’s really boring. The amount of Derby fans that have spent the last 18 months commenting on all things Sheffield Wednesday.. Really strange tbh, I personally couldn’t give a toss what’s happening at Derby.

@Mulvaney1Kevin 😂 got to say, if it was the other way round I'd hold a grudge as well.

@1FranDee I hold grudges! Although not sure how Hartford stayed on when he chucked the ball at the ref. 😀

Bad week for #mcfc Madrid, West Ham and absolutely robbed at Derby on The Big Match Revisited Dec77.

@BlueMoon909090 @CasualChaps facebook.com/dressersbook/v…

@CasualChaps Anyway to watch the full documentary?

If it’s Saturday it must be football day…. Footage from the documentary “Hooligan”, directed by Ian Stuttard and broadcast on Thames television in 1985. The film focused on a group of fans who followed East London based club West Ham United known as the I.C.F (Inter City Firm)

@Cuttsy1982 @KieranMaguire @lecrin For the 1st year I think very similar.

@1FranDee @KieranMaguire @lecrin Wasn’t the wage cap higher though? May be wrong

If rumours of a £7m wage cap for Sheffield Wednesday in League One are true, these are comparable wages from that division in 2023/24. Not all clubs published wage data as some use a loophole to avoid disclosure.

@Real_SWFC_Media @benswfc15 I know right 😂

@1FranDee @benswfc15 Prime example, literally looks at your replies in the past 24 hours 😅

Amount of fans of other teams who are posting ‘rules are rules’ without reading that the EFL can literally make up the punishment on the spot 😂 #swfc

@Amillocc @KieranMaguire Not sure you have tbh, up until this week you've been laughing at being in administration.

@1FranDee @KieranMaguire We thought that

@Amillocc @KieranMaguire We've never been in safer hands. Your new owners need deeper pockets than that when you look at the state stadium/training ground are in. At this point hoping you have a club come August is the biggest worry.

@1FranDee @KieranMaguire I'd be worried then if I were you , if he gets bored or runs out of money you'd already owe him £10m , might not get as fortunate again
