@peter_w0730 @swfc They must have assessed his fitness and decided it's worth the risk. He could be on a basic plus appearances contract.

@swfc Ridiculous keeping Cooper. He missed so many games.

Sheffield Wednesday can confirm the club’s retained list with the 2025/26 season complete. We offer our sincere thanks to all the players leaving the Owls and wish them the very best for the future 🦉

@YahYah_Gunn @swfc It doesn't say he'll be playing every week

@swfc Clever getting a load of season ticket sales in before letting people know it’ll be to watch another year of Liam Palmer. But other than that seems a sensible list.

@brooksey1983 @JPercyTelegraph With diminishing player contracts on relegation, the parachute payment system needs review to make it a fairer league

@JPercyTelegraph Surely this just helps the clubs with parachute payments and makes the gap back to the rest even bigger

SCR will be implemented in the Championship for the 26/27 season after 20 of the 24 clubs voted in favour today

@ShorebreakI @Peston He brings I Harman as women & girls envoy. She has direct links to PIE. He brings in Brown as economic guru, he deregulated the banks, compounding the economic crash, then sold half our gold at base price to try and save his skin, costing billions. Starmer is so bad it's untrue

@Peston Curious and defies rational explanation. Just like the Mandelson appointment.

PM’s statement to cabinet. Nutshell: he will not set out timetable for departure. And he is, in effect, baiting Wes Streeting to challenge him The Prime Minister told a meeting of the Cabinet: “As I said yesterday, I take responsibility for these election results and I take responsibility for delivering the change we promised. “The past 48 hours have been destabilising for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families. “The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and that has not been triggered. “The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a Cabinet.”

@GBNEWS There are some good intelligent quality conservative people in the Tory party. Are you saying you wouldn't take any of those, I'm not referring to the Hague, Cameron and Sunak lib dem imports who have destroyed it.

‘They had their chance!’ Richard Tice slams the door shut on new defections to Reform gbnews.com/politics/richa…

@anon_opin Great outcome

Civil servant here. If Farage wins the next GE, he'll call us all back to the office 5 days a week. The CS will then be on the verge of collapse, as thousands of people will either retire immediately or quit, due to the removal of WFH. Cheap optics will meet reality.

@Peston The public hate the policies and Keir. Moving left has created this, further to the left will make it worse. A centre right population shouldn't be governed by Marxists.

The post-elections blame game has started. And there is only one loser: Keir Starmer. “Voters don’t hate the party,” said one minister. “They hate Keir.” Results so far have ignited Labour MPs’ darkest fears, namely that Reform is on course to win the next general election. “That is down to Starmer,” said the minister. “There is no glossing that. It’s what we all hear on the doorstep, from voters.” What is particularly electric is that Reform trounced Labour in Burnham-and-Rayner land, Greater Manchester: Reform had an almost clean sweep in Tameside, Rayner’s manor, and Wigan, Lisa Nandy’s that is part of Burnham’s Greater Manchester Combined Authority. The personal local brands of Burnham and Rayner, both potential successors to Starmer, were overwhelmed by Farage’s. But that does not mean they will abandon their ambitions to lead their party. Quite the contrary. They will blame Starmer for the humiliation. The question is how far they will articulate that in public. As for Starmer, he says he takes responsibility for the debacle, though it is a funny kind of responsibility because he says he is going nowhere, and will attempt to respond to voters’ rejection of Labour with deeds and words to woo them back. Strikingly the foreign secretary Yvette Cooper just told the BBC that the debacle is a collective failure of the whole cabinet, and they all have to search their souls - in effect - about how to respond. This was not the foreign secretary saying she stands by Starmer in all weathers, though I presume many will have heard it that way. What I heard was a message to her cabinet colleagues that they need to think very hard about what has been going wrong and not lemming-like follow Starmer over the edge of the cliff. I am particularly alert to the nuances of what she says, because many Labour MPs and senior figures tell me that if, when the dust has settled, it is clear to them that their party is incapable of being redeemed under Starmer’s leadership, Cooper would have to take the lead - with Ed Miliband, energy secretary, and John Heley, defence secretary - in informing Starmer his time is up. They are seen, as ministers who served in senior positions in the last Labour government, as the nearest the party has to elders, those with a duty to put party before personal advancement. But if they did serve notice on Starmer, it is not at all clear he would even hear them, let alone agree. He and his allies are going full turbo-charged TINA (there is no alternative). Even so, when you hear Starmer or those who depend on him for their government positions insist they will fight fight fight to win, with Starmer as the unimpeachable boss, it’s as well to remember he serves at the pleasure of his MPs. And they are worried their firm is failing and they will be out of a job when the contract is up for renewal in two or three years.

@VitalWednesday How many times are we going to pay players not to play. Chalobah mkii

Liam Cooper had made his desire to remain at #swfc and "hopefully that can be sorted in the near future". 34 years old Played 14 games Season ending injury Thoughts? Source: The Star

@spikedonline What's the point in consulting the public, when they do the opposite. Immigration, Brexit, BBC TV licence (people don't want it, they plan to put it on taxes)

The outrage over Reform’s ‘Vote Green, Get illegal migrants’ policy is insanely hypocritical. Nobody has ever consulted those communities blighted most by illegal immigration. The left expects the poorest to bear this burden, says Gawain Towler buff.ly/cM6pm17

@Owen_wawaw_s6 @TWFootball1867 Tom Costin has other clubs, so we can circumvent the problem, but we don't want to go back to throwing silly money around.

@TWFootball1867 Are we still stuck to a big wage restriction ?

On transfers, the early murmurs coming out are very impressive. Chalobah leaving is right. Quality, but would max out the wage limit on a player who realistically will play fewer than 15 games. Instead go for Heskey who we could develop into an asset ✅

@DrabbleBalay @TWFootball1867 If Bannan wants £20k/wk as Millwall I'd agree. At a sensible wage he could still be the experienced player that can guide it all forward on the pitch. We've got grown ups in charge now, let them decide.

@TWFootball1867 Agreed. I will start to get worried if we start bringing in older players on big contracts with 0 resale value. That includes Bannan.

@matcow7 And stop taxing them to pay for it. No he'd double the tax.

Imagine the reaction if Keir Starmer came out tomorrow and said that he’d decided Reform voters voted for insurance-based healthcare, so he was taking away their right to the NHS

@RossKempsell He's talking about EU. For more important to him than the uk

Car radio: “Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in Armenia today” Lmao PM why are you in Armenia on bank holiday Monday! Get out and see some hospitals or police stations - this guy spends NO time in the country he is supposed to run - no wonder he has no idea what’s going on!

@Mike57236963114 @Iromg @Keir_Starmer Not if you're on benefits or having money shoveled into a public sector pension

@Iromg @Keir_Starmer Does he honestly believe he’s delivering for working families? The truth is it’s never been so hard and his government are making it harder with each passing day

A private message from Two-Tier, Never Here @Keir_Starmer - the man with no friends…

@JackDagnallV The grown ups have taken over

Attempting Heskey on a permanent and letting Chalobah move on is exactly the type of transfer model we should be following as a forward thinking, progressive, modern football club. Exciting times ahead 🦉 #swfc

@julianHjessop £3b

@julianHjessop Starmers rejected it and offered £3m

"Britain told to pay £1 billion a year to EU after reset" Imagine what Canada would say if the US demanded an annual tribute as part of a free trade agreement... 🤔

@KEdge23 The people who vote Green want these people in the country. But not on their doorstep, well tough titty

Gorton and Denton voted Green. So Reform would punish every ‘Reform’ voter in that constituency, just because more voted Green. Says it all. Reform are not a serious party. If you want to stop the Greens, Labour and Reform, vote Conservative.

@DCBMEP They ain't interested in us. I'll give you one guess what motivates them

There is no reason to pay for access to the EU single market. The UK imports far more goods from EU than we export to it. They should be paying the UK billions!?

@WTIDPOD Last 5 games MOM. Discounting Chalobah who's been laid down all season.

How good was Max Lowe yesterday? 😮‍💨
