Spot on — it’s a disgrace that things at Wednesday have been allowed to spiral to this point.

#FairDealForWednesday @EFL @EFL_Comms The EFL have a choice, side with the previous owner who showed no respect to either the club or English football or do the sensible thing and draw a line under the suffering and allow David and co a fair chance to repair the damage

@Dunsbyowl @Owlsonline @NUFC Was there. Great day out. Dodgy on way back to bus 😂

#onthisday in 1984 - now that's what you call an overhead kick ! Gary Shelton with a wonderful strike away at @NUFC in front of 36,725 We were top of the league ! #swfc youtube.com/watch?v=kWrQ-w…

@_GeorgeSmith99 Very good player. Reads the game

Pierce Charles was undoubtably the star of the show, but you have to give immense credit to Gabriel Otegbayo as well. He performed 19 defensive actions, including 13 clearances. Also won all six of his ground duels. He's proven why game time is key for any young player. #SWFC

Can we talk about the Sheffield Wednesday fans? The worst side in Championship history, one win all season, on -6 points with a - 57 goal difference and they put our atmosphere to shame! They did not stop singing, they were absolutely fantastic! Easily the best fans we’ve had

@skylineowl Hornsby n Porterfield obviously. Tricky other…prob wrong - but Scanlon Notts County ?

Trapped - name the 2 former Owls, opposing striker and team?#swfc #efl ☕️⚽️🦉

@henrywinter Spot on H

Still can’t believe that England are going to the World Cup without arguably their best passer. Watching fringe candidates labour at Wembley highlights even more the nonsense of Alexander-Arnold’s omission. He’s a game-changing option from the bench. If you have pace out wide in Gordon/Rashford and Saka/Madueke/Bowen and want to launch a quick counter, TAA can deliver. If England are in a shoutout, he can deliver. Risk/reward. #ENG

@henrywinter Very eloquent & apt Henry.

Mo Salah is leaving Liverpool but Liverpool will never leave him. He made clear as much in his emotional statement revealing he was moving on this summer. Salah has a bond with Liverpool, the club, the fans, the community and the city, that distance cannot break. Liverpool supporters and their Egyptian King have too many shared memories: some painful like his shoulder injury in the 2018 Champions League final, but many more beautiful like his nerveless early penalty in the 2019 final. Salah's return of 255 goals in 435 games is an immense deposit in the memory bank. He is so much more than a goal machine to Liverpool. Salah entertained, brought hope and joy, and how important are those qualities this season? The Premier League has been a show but not a spectacle. He won with style, often a smile. He scored unforgettable goals. Bursts of pace, changes of direction, dashes of panache and effortless balance defined one particularly special goal in 2021. Salah slalomed in from the right against Manchester City, weaving past Foden and Cancelo, then drifting away from Bernardo Silva as he dived in, finding only thin air. Salah was gone, turning Laporte inside out, before shooting right-footed past Ederson. He left a trail of tangled limbs and scrambled senses in his wake. And these were seriously good players he was running rings around. Salah, at his best, could do that. His style and demeanour, his aura, made him incredibly popular. Raheem Sterling's daughter used to send her father videos of her singing the Salah "running down the wing" song. When Raheem was at City. Salah has been a maestro capable of solo magic and a team player, too. 119 assists highlights that. Along with Mane and Firmino, Salah formed one of the most formidable attacks in Premier League history. He's up amongst Liverpool greats, behind only Dalglish. He’s up amongst Premier League greats, behind only Thierry Henry. Salah is more than a player. He transcends football. He’s a sporting role model, a cultural figure, an inspiring representative of his faith, and great ambassador for his country. Away from the game, Salah lives a simple life, dedicated to his family and his faith, and to his extensive community and humanitarian work. At one PFA event, Salah walked up to collect an award, stopping to talk to a fan in a wheelchair on the way. He walked back the same way to show the award to the fan. He's not only a class act as a footballer but as a human being, too. At 33, Salah leaves with his legacy intact, before the legs slow further, before any tensions arise with Arne Slot again. It’s the right decision at the right time for both parties, as Liverpool save a fortune on a year's wages and Salah leaves with the crowd wanting more. His farewell tour could conjure up more memories, maybe even a trophy. Liverpool will be galvanised by this news, saddened but wanting to send one of their greats off in style. Salah will want to leave on a winning note. He will certainly leave with his ears ringing with acclaim. This means Mo. #LFC

@Pjohnnners Hull fans went 10 mins later. Owls stayed put for 45 plus Steve Bruce made this point. U muppet

Chanting and loyal support is admirable. But success is what really feels good. And when you win at Wembley in a Play Off Final it just doesn’t get any better and the joy lasts a lifetime, not a couple of lunchtimes #hcafc

@TheBarcaLad10 Superb

Gotta respect Newcastle United fans. Passionate, loyal, and actually classy. No unnecessary toxicity like Chelsea and Manchester United fans.. just pure support for their club

@henrywinter @Victoria1867 Brilliant

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
