@WTIDPOD I honestly believe the efl are making a stance here and would rather see us go under than change their rulings to help. This is about power nothing more nothing less.

The Wednesday ’Til I Die Podcast
I'm not going to sit here and say that I've not thought about this scenario happening. We even spoke about it on extra time on Sunday evening. The restrictions are very heavy indeed. This isn't about Wednesday trying to gain an advantage over others - this is about trying to secure the future for the football club. ...because right now Sheffield Wednesday doesn't have one.
Joe Crann@YesWeCrann

Understand this week will be a critical one in terms of Arise and their potential purchase of Sheffield Wednesday... The next few days are crucial, with Team Storch in negotiations with the EFL. Bid could become untenable if -15 and spending cap remain. thestar.co.uk/sport/football…

@Dem_Blades3 @henrywinter But was the majority creditor the former owner who got the club into the situation through mismanagement? Which in turn is being rewarded for his failings (to go alongside his 3 year ban)

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

@davidrichards @GrumpyNeil_ @AlanBiggs1 Plenty evidence to suggest that Ashley is out for himself and would never consider anything like regenerating the stadium with transport access and commercial space. Complete pie in the sky stuff.

There are increasing reports, echoed by @AlanBiggs1, that the David Storch consortium has submitted a higher bid for Sheffield Wednesday than Mike Ashley. That creates a dilemma for the administrators. Their legal duty is clear. They must maximise returns for creditors. But football clubs are not normal businesses. The buyer also needs the financial strength to stabilise and rebuild the club. I have said repeatedly that Sheffield Wednesday requires at least £100 million of investment almost immediately. Not over time. Not through hopeful projections. Real capital. Against that backdrop, some of the commentary circulating recently is frankly absurd. Stories of £4 million being spent on the stadium and safe standing at the Leppings Lane end miss the scale of the problem entirely. That kind of money barely scratches the surface of what is required to modernise Hillsborough and rebuild the club properly. Mike Ashley may not be everyone’s preferred owner, but two things are undeniable. He has the cash. And he has the commercial leverage. It is worth remembering that Ashley reportedly explored a bid for Meadowhall last year. If someone with that scale of retail and property experience were involved in the area, it is not difficult to imagine a completely different vision. A modern stadium integrated with transport access, parking and surrounding commercial development across that vast footprint. Whether that specific idea ever happens is beside the point. The point is scale. There is no comparison between a bid backed by real financial firepower and one built on optimism and future promises. Sheffield Wednesday has suffered enough from the latter. For the sake of the long-suffering supporters, one hopes the administrators eventually follow the line often attributed to Churchill: “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities.” Let’s hope we are close to that moment. #swfc

Just having a kickabout with my 5 year old down the local park and a man with a bowl cut and a Braintree Town coat on just came and asked what the score was so he could add it to an app or something? Was rambling on about it being his 1082nd ground? Wtf?!

@Jameskhan699923 Some members did get paid out, for example on Dabble and Paddy, or on 365 when it was initially settled as a win and they withdrew the funds instantly.. It's being marked as a loss in my P/L because not everyone got paid out, though.

🎱😆 After Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall beat Brendan Rodgers in a pool tournament and was sent out on loan a week later: 🗣️ KDH: "He organised a pool tournament and everyone had to join in. I was playing for a pub team when I was ten years old. I mean, I can play. I was young at the time – wasn’t a first-team player – but was drawn to play him (Rodgers) in the first round. I said to the lads, ‘Do I try my hardest?’ Because he was having himself. He was going, ‘I’m really good at pool,’ and all the lads thought he fancied himself to win the whole thing. Quite a few people were watching and I beat him 3-0 and you could tell he was raging. I’ve just gone, ‘Yeah, sorry gaffer,’ and a week later got sent out on loan to Blackpool. So, I mean, that was a fun week of my life."

I'm starting to yell at clouds but in the old days, guys like Hato would stay at Ajax til they're 24. Mature, get 50 European games for Ajax, lead them to some glory, have a personality. These days would Shevchenko have a rich history with Dinamo like he did in the late 90s?

Controversial take potentially. It’s easy to be complimentary and talk of your respect for someone and the job they are doing when they are zero threat. A more level playing field a year ago with a manager playing him at his own game and it’s disrespect. #swfc

Nico O’Reilly and Myles Lewis-Skelly are the perfect example of the difference between Pep and Arteta In the case of Lewis-Skelly, he broke through a season ago and immediately looked like one of the biggest wonderkids on the planet. However one year later and he has stagnated. Still doing the same things, same responsibilities, same mistakes etc. Meanwhile O’Reilly came through as an Attacking Midfielder and within a year Pep had transformed him into one of the most promising LBs in Europe. Now once again it seems he has a new role as an 8. But it’s this constant challenging from Pep. Pushing his players to keep evolving. Mikel Arteta doesn’t do that and it’s part of the reason we’ve not won the league yet.
