Demand fair treatment for Sheffield Wednesday F​.​C. - Sign the Petition! c.org/xckLfR66pq via @UKChange

Small Prophets is the best thing on television. If you haven’t discovered it yet, I envy you. It’s the most uplifting, life affirming show I’ve seen in a long time. In a cynical world, it is a joy.

The @EFL are as big a threat to us going out of existence as DC . They are no longer punishing the man child responsible but now just the club and its supporters. Why? #swfc

So, no points deduction for Chelsea then? #swfc 🙄🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@Hank83416250473 We should always remember that his best spell for Wednesday was during his loan period at Tranmere Rovers.

We need to put a video reel up of how many times he leaves his man, he’s being doing it for years, he’s absolutely bone idle #swfc

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

Got to agree with many who have said that griping at the @EFL on Twitter is unlikely to affect their victimisation of #swfc However, some high profile intervention from local MPs and the like certainly wouldn’t go amiss. Petition on the cards?

@jakerowl1 @BuildsByKB @EFL This man at the @EFL is clearly using his position to punish the club . Wednesday fans call for him to step down #swfc

The @EFL have to be fair to all clubs in their competitions but there is nothing that would please them more than to see the end of #swfc

@Hank83416250473 Bang on sir!

😂😂😂yeah, I bet he Frikin did. Look at what his experience has got us while he’s been here. Get shut of the lot, him the rest and the management side. We want a total clear out and a new #swfc

@tchesshyre Just finished. What a thoroughly marvellous read, enjoyed it immensely. Thanks Tom! 👍🏻😊

@thelastIeg My grandson Benjamin as a young Josh Widdicombe. 😁

@Will_Fuzz You were ace Will. Always a pleasure to listen to you play. You must also have the patience of a saint 😉😊

Backstage at the O2 Academy in Leeds. Up that spooky ladder is the haunted attic, if you venture up there a disgruntled spirit is said to angrily run at you. I wont be climbing up there for a big clock! On a lighter note some cute cuddly toys entrapped forever in the back of the PA speakers getting their stuffing rattled out of them every night!

Yep, great fun. Couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. Thanks for coming to town @marcrileydj @themarkrad

At the season’s end, would it look better for future reference if #swfc did finish on minus points? At least it would show that something extraordinary had happened rather than us just being a very poor side. 🤷‍♂️
