Meanwhile Sheffield Wednesday will be docked another FIFTEEN points by the EFL next season for **checks notes** not paying £15m to the mental man who ran the club into administration and nearly extinction

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

Since seeding began in 1975, a No. 1 seed has won the Super Bowl 27 times. Only one of those No. 1 seeds had to beat three 12-win teams during that playoff run: the 2025 @Seahawks.

Someone is flying around City Hall tail whipping in a little buggy to Olivia Dean’s ‘Man I Need’. Philadelphia is the best city in the world and you can’t convince me otherwise

Sheffield Wednesday’s players who’ve left in the last 6 months (including impending moves): James Beadle, Josh Windass, Barry Bannan, Callum Paterson, Ben Hamer, Anthony Musaba, Djeidi Gassama, Shea Charles, Joey Phuthi, Pol Valentín, Marvin Johnson, Ibrahim Cissoko, Michael Ihiekwe, Akin Famewo, Michael Smith, Stuart Armstrong, Caelan Cadamarteri, Sam Reed, Ryo Hatsuse, Malik Wilks, Romario Collins, Ethan Horvath, Joe Lumley, Harry Amass, Sutura Kakay, Yisa Alao. Players currently injured: Pierce Charles, George Brown, Nathaniel Chalobah, Ernie Weaver, Max Lowe, Dominic Iorfa, Ike Ugbo, Sean Fusire, Dishon Bernard, Mackenzie Maltby, Guilherme Siqueira. Players linked with moves away this month: Yan Valery, Svante Ingelsson, Bailey Cadamarteri. That’s up to 40 players who have either left, are about to leave, or are currently unavailable within a six-month period. Take that many players out of any football club and don’t allow them to be replaced — the exact same thing happens. Now add this: • Danny Röhl and most of his backroom staff walked out in the summer • The chairman left • No CEO, no COO, no Director of Football • Recruitment outsourced But it’s fine apparently, because we’ve been “allowed” to bring in: Liam Cooper Nathan Redmond Jaden Heskey Murphy Cooper #SWFC

Disappointing news that comes as no surprise. Leeds remains the largest city in Western Europe without a mass transit system. Compare this to France: Dijon built a 12 mile tram network in just 2 years, after 2 years of planning, for just £37m a mile. It's no coincidence that, unlike in Britain, local leaders in France have the powers to get on and deliver transport infrastructure without having to go cap in hand to central government.

Deleted now I think but this is either dodgy by the admin team or libel It seems odd that lately there’s been a push to slag the admin team off.
