@benswfc15 @Owlstalk Well that’s a rollercoaster of a tweet 😅

Sheffield Wednesday are interested in the former Cork City, AC Milan and Newcastle centre-back Cathal Heffernan. The 21-year-old currently plays for Harrogate Town DaveClark on @Owlstalk #swfc

@kr62209 And Storch?! 😅

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

@KieranMaguire Does the stadium debt class as football debt? Can we argue the size of his claim?

@jamestorry The only way it would work is if Chansiri withdraws his claim. That’s what Mel Morris did at Derby and he as owed about £200m but claimed nothing. If DC did this would help to restore a bit of his very damaged (and deserved) reputation

@KieranMaguire is the 15pts a hard and fast rule? How are Storch and Ashley confident of avoiding it? Is there any possibility that all creditors could be offered 25p in £ but exclude Chansiri given he was responsible for the debt and admin?

@AlexJPMiller If 15pts is “guidance” and not a rule then is there some logic that suggests if all creditors except Chansiri were offered 25p in the £, given his stewardship resulted in the debt, and admin, it would satisfy EFL? I think that’s how Storch & Ashley will play it @AlexJPMiller

🚨Understand Sheffield Wednesday have been the subject of offers today. Work to do for administrators to come to a decision over who will be named preferred bidder in the coming days. #SWFC🦉

Best one yet! 🙌🏻

Doodle...BOO! Happy Halloween from the Doodledo Team 👻 🎃 🦇 🕷️ 🕸️

We’ve been working with @mpaas_uk to build their brand, creating an animated world that highlights their innovative energy solutions🌞🔋 The ‘worlds’ developed for the animations became the foundation for the new visual identity, expanding these assets into a broader narrative

@TWFootball1867 @TheStarOwls With the absence of Johnson, Musaba, Gassama, Windass etc, without looking at any stats, my hunch would be Bannan’s data is up because there are no other creative outlets. Or, are we, as a team, more or less the same in those areas but Baz output has increased?

I said over the weekend that Bannan had changed his game slightly and he is as good as he as ever been. The data backs that up. Looking at Baz over some metrics - Not including last night's game, where he got another assist (as Wyscout hasn't uploaded the game or data yet). Creative 9 through balls - 2nd in the league 7 key passes - 2nd in the league 68 passes to the final third - 8th in the league 73 progressive passes - 13th in the league Defensive 74% defensive duel success rate - 12th in the league 7 shots blocked - 8th in the league. These are Baz's best outputs in the Championship over selected measures - ever.

GM is growing fast. We will expand @BeeNetwork⁩ over the next decade to meet the needs of our bigger economy. BUT There’s a limit to what we can do on a congested surface. It’s why I am asking TfGM to start planning for an underground for GM around a remodelled Piccadilly.

@elonmusk Ding Dong the witch is dead 🎶

I have a drinking problem

@domhowson He’s behind the ball!

If VAR was in operation in the Championship, this goal wouldn’t have stood. JW looks offside from this angle. You could probably say the same thing about Pompey’s opener. Momentum is now with #SWFC. Go and get the second goal and win this bloody thing. 🦉⚽️

New Sheffield Wednesday shirt sponsor looks like Johnny 5 had his hand gold plated. #swfc

Legend! #wawaw

This is genius!!!

Free Ugbo is in full swing 👀 #swfc

@SunderlandAFC Very good signing. Sad we missed out but class player at this level and made a huge difference to our team last year.

Welcome to #SAFC, Ian Poveda! 💛💙❤️
