We’re so back. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Without going all pseudo-intellectual; at the heart of it, football is all about the shared human experience. Today will be one of those. Enjoy it; wear something daft, have another drink, cuddle a stranger. Who truly knows what comes next, but for today who cares? Today is about the last year and the scale of shared achievement. It's about how people worked together and kept the thing breathing. And it's about the renewal of hope and possibility. Park protests, leaflets, boycotts, embassies, Leicester, Boro, Megastore sell-outs, Oxford, endless togetherness on endless doomed away trips. Fear, defiance, faith. Personally, I'm proud and privileged to have witnessed the whole lot. Today's society feels increasingly individual and cold and uninterested in the value of community. It wasn't without its moments, but the overwhelming feeling is that Sheffield Wednesday's 2025/26 travails brought it all back. Awesome in the true sense of the word. UTO. #SWFC🦉

On my way up to Sheffield ... the only place I'd rather be than Honolulu. @MayorRickHNL we should do it together sometime #WAWAW #honoluluwednesday #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

@EFL You’re punishing the club again, for not paying millions of pounds to a man who has reduced us to the point where we can’t flush the toilets? #FairDealForWednesday

@swfc @_GeorgeSmith99 A proper owner

Everyone at Sheffield Wednesday is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former owner and chairman Milan Mandarić. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

@SpireiteLiam @swfc It’s one of those where you’re if you’re not clever enough to understand what is happening, probably best to stay quiet, fan of a tiny club that never have and never will matter

@swfc What better way to get out of your financial situation than fans getting on the pitch risking a fine for the club and more possible points deductions. Clever eh.

A number of supporters have entered the field of play and the referee has temporarily paused the game

@swfc Good. Proud of every single one who did. Hopefully hastening the demise of the cancer in our club and all that have enabled him

Do you pay your employees on time? Or is it just the black sheep of the family that doesn’t? @thaiuniongroup #DejphonChansiriShameOfThailand #enoughisenough

This is the joke that we’re having to live through at the moment. I wonder if @thaiuniongroup are happy knowing this clown is dragging the name of the family further through the mud

This is what Sheffield Wednesday mean to people. Dejphon Chansiri has to listen, finally show a shred of decency and compassion and sell the club. #SWFC

The Trust, all six Sheffield MPs, and Lord David Blunkett have co-signed and issued this letter to the EFL. #SWFC #EnoughisEnough 👇🏻

“We hope the EFL will use all the powers it currently has to prevent the  collapse of one of the oldest clubs in football.” Lord Blunkett, Sheffield MPs and #SWFC fans call on EFL to investigate owner Dejphon Chansiri. Already in contact with incoming Regulator for help.

@robstaton No rush lads, take your time

Statement from Sheffield Wednesday on the North Stand #SWFC

In response to the release of the eye‑watering £72 home shirt, we remind our members and wider fanbase of the ongoing boycott of all retail and merchandise. Each purchase underwrites an owner who is late on HMRC obligations, is unable to pay player and staff wages, and has forced the sale of our most promising young talent. Until Dejphon Chansiri relinquishes control of Sheffield Wednesday FC, we cannot in good conscience fund this crisis. #SWFC #EnoughIsEnough

@AlexMiller91 Very good to have you back mate, hope all well with your family

Back to work tomorrow after some much-needed family time. My DMs are open (as always) for anyone impacted by the situation at SWFC. Have had some conversations already. All talks will be handled with the promise of anonymity and with the utmost journalistic integrity. #SWFC🦉

This is the truth about Labour's Budget and farmers.

@NorthBrewCo is there an advent calendar in the works again this year guys? Had one the last few years and always been spot on…

Nadhim Zahawi the multi-millionaire who claimed £6,000 a year from the tax payer to pay for the electricity to run the stables at his £1 million second home, the highest energy claim in Parliament. He also voted against free school meals.
