@AlexJPMiller @SportSJA Congratulations on the nomination, you do a great job reporting on the Owls which can't be easy at times, but you can still find a glimmer of sunshine even in the darkest days. 👏👏

Really chuffed to have been shortlisted for Regional Journalist of the Year at the @SportSJA awards for 2025.
Local / regional journalism is really important. Covering the last 18 months at Sheffield Wednesday has been a responsibility I and others have taken very seriously.
Beats working for a living. UTO.

@RyanCanMan123 Yes mate, need 2. One for me and one for my Grandson. Both ST holders but not enough points 😫

Remember when Atdhe Nuhiu was some sort of joke to a lot of #SWFC fans?
I bet you'd take him back in a heartbeat now. Be careful what you wish for. The grass isn't always greener.

@BBCSport @5liveSport "As a result of Chelsea's cheating, we have decided on severe punishment and have duly advised our colleagues at the EFL that Sheffield Wednesday should be deducted a further 15 points so will start next season on -30."

@storchyowl @AlexJPMiller Thank you David, you have a battle on your hands with the EFL who seem to believe that not only should we be made to suffer for the catastrophic stewardship of the previous owner (who they approved) but the new owners should be penalised heavily too. How can that be justifiable?
English
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

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

In homage to Wednesdays poor season it's a nice touch the bottom 4 now initially spell out their club nickname.

@Placebo_obecalP @YesWeCrann Reading this after just reading a story by @hirstclass outlining Man Utd "still owe £422m in transfer fees." Levels, eh 😵💫
English
- David Storch reps have held ‘informal discussions’ with the #SWFC Trust
- A bid of around £20m could be enough
- Mike Ashley would ‘sail’ through owners tests
- Hopes of leniency on the -15 points

@AlexJPMiller Excellent as usual Alex, you're getting the hang of this journo thingy now...

A special show of defiance on Saturday and a special, wholesome evening on Sunday.
Whoever gets hold of this husk of a club bears a heavy responsibility to those who continue to so proudly preserve its soul.

@Owlsonline Exactly. Lowe, Yates, McNeill so lightweight. Conceding goals is a given, but why don't we have a bloody good go at trying to score one.

This is frustrating. We’re already relegated. Try something different. HAVE A CHUFFING GO.
