@secondtierpod "utter irrelevance" @robstaton

Sheffield Wednesday fans are once again having a great time 👏 Lost again, the club's future is uncertain. Does it matter? Nah, in fine voice again.

@Gem_White1 "utter irrelevance" 🤣🤣 Bloke wouldn't have a job without us

But we were told by the Radio Sheffield reporter that we can’t call ourselves massive anymore! It’s always been in humour rather than arrogance but unsurprisingly that’s been lost on those with a sense of humour bypass. Not bad to say we’ve been irrelevant for 26 years is it?

@storchyowl Had a Beres yet Dave???

Back in the States now, reflecting on an unbelievable week in Sheffield…. on behalf of Michael, Tom and myself, I want to thank the wonderful city of Sheffield, the local members of the community we met, the Supporters’ Trust and the Sheffield Wednesday fans for making us feel so incredibly welcome. We are listening to and collaborating with talented Wednesdayites across the city to ensure we deliver a best in class fan experience. Whilst we continue to work diligently to become stewards of this unique and historic club, please know that we will be doing everything we can in the interest of a “Better Wednesday” and a brighter future for everyone associated with Sheffield Wednesday. See you soon! David #swfc #wawaw #uto @swfc @swfctrust

@AlanBiggs1 Was he "proud of the boys today"?

“I’ve found them to be very positive, good people,” Henrik Pedersen tells me, having met #SWFC’s prospective new owners this week. He’s hoping the situation gets resolved ASAP. On the game, a familiar refrain. Proud his team held a top side for so long.

@henrywinter @WTIDPOD Disgusting language by the @EFL Threatening a club whilst a buying process is happening. Should be conducted with potential new owners. 40 off days until IFR comes in, 1st job should be to reprimand EFL

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

@KieranMaguire We already have players on contracts well above average that's a problem when your squad has been destroyed

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.

Our lass having put 8 YO to bed " I think ya son is embarrassed to be Wednesday" Me "tough shit, he will get over it" #swfc

@AlexJPMiller I've had many a good away day but yesterday was special.

The scene after the final whistle. Sang for 90 minutes solid, can’t see an empty seat. These haven’t seen a win since September. Best afternoon of away support I’ve ever seen. #SWFC🦉

@robstaton @Mach27277 Fair question. Ya wouldn't take ya house off market for 2 months if ya 1 option didn't have an agreement in principle from a mortgage provider Don't dismiss a fair question Rob

@Mach27277 The same reason you don't agree to sell your house to two people at the same time

Latest on Sheffield Wednesday. Understand among several interested parties are two who didn't give proof of funding in the last bidding period. One thing to note, although a deadline is set for next week, it doesn't necessarily mean a new preferred bidder will be immediate. Offers will need to be evaluated, legals agreed and there's a deposit to pay. So adjust expectations accordingly. #SWFC

@richgrain @willgrainger08 @swfc @nicrichholwill Fantastic 💙💙💙💙🦉

It might only have been a few mins on the pitch but it meant the world to @willgrainger08 and us, as a family. Hopefully many more of these moments to come for our club @swfc. Thank you for all the messages and well wishes we have received 🙏 🦉💙#swfc

@richgrain 👏👏👏👏💙🦉💙

@WendyOwl004 @swfc 👏👏👏👏👏

Norwich away, we’re ll behind you through thick and thin 💪🏟️⚽️🦉💙 @swfc #swfc

@BradfieldSWFC Wish I was 3 5 billion behind him!

Ashley isn't cash rich by the way, should have never been allowed to take over Newcastle, spent none of his own money, just Tv and Prem money, they'd have gone bust if Saudi's hadn't come in #swfc

@BrettBrookes Brett you had 4 pints again. Ya all took an abacus to tally score and like rest of this league.....ya not all that

Good day to be a Blade awful day to be an Owl. They’ve had theirs, 79 and 93 but today it’s our day. We’ll enjoy, take the piss and fortunately for us social media is a thing but they’ll come back and the banter will fly again. But for now the City is Red ⚔️

@richgrain 90th minute winner 💙💙🤞

🦉

Me too 🥹

@MattJohno1989 @bazzabannan25 Me too that pal

If that’s it, it’s been a hell of a ride. Chris waddle was the reason I fell in love with Wednesday. @bazzabannan25 is the reason my son fell in love with Wednesday. It’s hard to put into words what that means It’ll always be your home and it’s been a pleasure to watch. #swfc

@BrettBrookes How many pints did you end up having, ya was half talking sense when I left. I wouldn't be talking about players going hiding with your play off record

Big players and legends turn up on the big days, when your team need you, and when you play your fiercest rivals they’re the ones who drag you through the game and don’t go hiding.
