Although still basking in the glow from our dream like Saturday, this past week was one of rolling up our sleeves and going to work in preparation for the summer and beyond. David B, @michaelestorch and I met with the leadership team advancing our plans for the training pitch, summer training schedule for the squad, spent time assessing current squad, addressed multiple work plans for Hillsborough, starting with critical safety items work beginning this Monday and more. Our countdown till start of Cup series is 91 calendar days . Lots to do in short window but the team led by David Bruce is committed to do so. We will keep you updated on our progress. Expect some exciting news next week . Wishing everyone all the best, David, Michael, Tom and David #WAWAW

It's very much still 'we' for Sam Hutchinson... #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Really feeling the blues today sat on my flight back to Chicago after one of the best days of my life on Saturday. Wishing we could do it all over again. I’ll never forget the welcome you, the fans, gave to me and my family. Getting to meet so many of you was so much fun. After a long and tough process, I want to thank my dad and business partner @storchyowl for believing in this and finding a way. When many could not see a path forward, he kept pushing us all to find it. We had some great meetings with David Bruce and Henrik this week and there really is just so much to do but I’m incredibly energized. This is going to be an awesome journey. I’ll be back soon! #uto #wawaw

There seems to be a lot of confusion on the SWFC zero point ruling when comparing to the zero points Derby also received. Both Clubs paid/are paying 25p in the £ to unsecured creditors. Derby’s owner completely wrote his debt off. The Wednesday owner was made a sizeable offer. Derby paid 25p in the £ and left the tax man owed £10’s of millions (EFL Insolvency Policy directs 100p - discretion shown). Wednesday are paying off all owed (100p in the £) to HMRC. I’m struggling to square why some feel Wednesday should get more than Derby got for exiting Administration when the shortfall to creditors is so much less in the case of SWFC? Furthermore, the shortfall against EFL Insolvency Policy is also much less in the case of SWFC.

How did Sheffield Wednesday avoid a 15-point deduction? 🔹 Background 🔹 Nick De Marco, of course 🔹 EFL agreement 🔹 Offers for Chansiri's debt outright refused, ignored, not taken in good faith 🔹 How 25p was "reached" 🔹 Deadline missed (!) 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

Can only be...

Since David Storch and the Arise group have purchased Sheffield Wednesday, they have: - brought back the retro Owl. - ensured no points deduction next season. - allowed us to pay a fee for players. - allowed us to pay more than £7k pw on wages. - promised hot water. 🙌 They’ve owned the club for four days.

💷 Sheffield Wednesday will not be subject to a £7,000 weekly wage cap or £7m seasonal spend next season... That and more in this piece over on @TheWordSWFC: thewednesdayword.com/p/sheffield-we… 🦉⚽️

Wanted to take some time to reflect on a day I’ve been dreaming of for months. Saturday was perfect. Will never be able to express how grateful I am for the warm welcome the @SWFC fans gave my family and me. The sun shone down on our wonderful club on Saturday. It was the experience of a lifetime to enjoy the moment with you all…. To share our new crest designed by the incredible local agency Peter and Paul…. To share the news that after an incredible collaborative effort between my team, the @EFL and BTG we will start next season on zero points!…. To introduce you to our incredible new CEO, David Bruce…. And to witness over 30,000 of my newest friends singing for 99 minutes straight as our Owls closed out such a difficult season with a win. I’d like to further highlight how grateful I am to the @EFL for their diligence and approach in working with us to ratify all issues and achieve our target of closing by 1 May. It takes a village; but without the commitment and tenacity of Asher Simons, Clive Betts MP and James Silverwood in particular, we would not be where we are today. It’s been an extremely emotional 48 hours for me after a long process, but now the focus is already completely on action. We are proceeding ahead immediately on all fronts and we will update you, the fans, as we go. You are the reason Michael and I are here, the reason we have fallen in love with this city and this club. We will do everything in our power to ensure we don’t let you down. David #wawaw #uto #swfc

Today's attendance is 33,750. The highest Sky Bet Championship attendance of the season 🦉 Incredible support 👏

Apologies in advance - this is a long one. Now that the transaction is complete, I wanted to take a moment to thank the people who made what many thought was impossible… possible. This has been one of the most complex, demanding and important processes I’ve ever been involved in. It simply does not get done without a huge number of people going above and beyond. A few key aspects defined whether this club had a future: 1. Bringing S3 Limited into Administration alongside the Club - This allowed us to market and sell the Club and stadium together. Without it, the outcome could have been terminal. Thank you to New Avenue Projects for working with us to make this happen. 2. Funding the Club through the process Cash was critical. To the fans - thank you. You backed the Club when it mattered most, buying tickets and merchandise in huge numbers. To the individual who loaned £1 million - incredible support at a critical time. And to Henrik Pedersen - for his understanding and leadership when difficult football decisions had to be made. 3. Securing the outcome with the EFL A huge amount of work went into finding a solution that worked for all parties and protected the Club’s future. I want to thank a colleague (who would absolutely want to remain anonymous) for the creativity, technical expertise and, quite frankly, one of the most effective pieces of work I’ve ever seen in delivering a solution everyone could get behind. A number of advisers were outstanding: Wiggin LLP — David Hinchliffe and team. Relentless, often working through the night. Freeths (Sheffield Insolvency Team) - led by Oliver Jackson, assisting throughout but crucial in the final weeks. MD Law - Matthew Dixon (despite his football allegiances…), stepping in to solve a late-stage issue. BTG Eddisons, BTG Insurance Services & BTG Forensics - supporting throughout. Shorts Accountants - Scott Burkinshaw and team on tax. ⸻ My BTG team - quite simply exceptional. Jo Hammond, Mark Weekes, Paul Stanley, Julian Pitts, Phil Stone, Karis Cordery, Ben, Aidan, Niamh, Harry and many others. And the wider Sheffield office who picked up the slack while we lived and breathed Hillsborough for six months. ⸻ The Sheffield Wednesday staff have been nothing short of incredible. Henrik Pedersen - one of the best leaders and people I’ve worked with. We were competitive throughout - that’s down to him. Lindsey - “Mrs Sheffield Wednesday”. Tireless. ‘Stan’ - Mr Safety. Outstanding. Rob, Louise, James and so many more behind the scenes. I also want to mention Trevor Braithwaite and Alastair Wilson. Both have taken unfair criticism. They did their jobs professionally in extremely difficult circumstances, and the Club would not have functioned without them. James Wheelhouse - for answering our SOS when appointed and keeping the IT infrastructure together under real pressure. ⸻ A few others who played important roles: Lee Strafford - trusted counsel throughout. Alex Miller and Rob Staton - responsible journalism when it mattered. Lee Wildgoose, Matt Bruce, Chris Cotterill and many more. From the Trust - James Silverwood, Rob Brooke, Steven Chu. And finally, Asher Simons - he was on the other side of the deal but was a huge driving force and without a Wednesday fan either side, I’m not sure it would have got done.I’m proud to now call him a friend. ⸻ This has been a collective effort - but one driven by a clear objective from day one: to protect Sheffield Wednesday and give it a future. There is still a lot of work ahead (thankfully not for me 😀) But today, the Club has stability, a new owner, and a real platform to move forward. WAWAW

The Trust welcomes David, Michael, Tom and the Arise Group as the new custodians of Sheffield Wednesday. We know there are exciting plans ahead this summer and wish them every success as they begin their stewardship of our club. Statement below 👇🏻#SWFC
