Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has suggested the Tigers should be promoted directly to the Premier League.
“Our lawyers’ opinion is that we should go directly to Premier League.
“We had been preparing for Southampton for 10 days. All the planning, analysis, and work was focused on them.”

@WTIDPOD Can’t expect to have financial backing and not pay for it. Decent pricing and I’m safe in the knowledge that chansisri won’t get a penny of it

@Real_SWFC_Media Have to be released at some point I’ve been excited since hearing they’re being released tomorrow. My lad has messaged me saying it’s 10.00 so now I’m even more excited. It adds to the drama and excitement which we’ve lacked for months

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.

@DarrenOWitcoop String interest from who? Can’t be due to game time or fitness

Nathan Redmond is due to leave Sheffield Wednesday after his short-term contract ended. The winger will become a free agent and is expected to attract strong interest. #swfc
