The people have spoken! 🗣️ @swfc's remarkable comeback in the 2023 @SkyBet League One Play-Off Semi-Final has been voted as the greatest #EFLPlayOffs match of all time! 👏 #EFL | #EveryMinuteMatters

@insectittrent @swfc Wednesday again ole ole!

A phenomenal effort! Launched less than a week ago... 15,000 already! 👏

@storchyowl @swfc I’ve been going with my Dad for 37 years David. 10,15,20 matches a season consistently since 1989. Today, we bought our first season tickets. It feels like our club again. Thank you so much for everything. Here’s to making more memories. COME ON WEDNESDAY!

Dear @swfc fans… best fans in the whole wide world, It’s been a whole 2 weeks ( not 2 months ) since we kicked off our stewardship of this great club. Thanks for your outpouring of support / response to our release of season ticket sales. Credit to David Bruce & co for putting in the thought and designing a fan centric offering. Hopefully you’ve seen work began at Hillsborough, firstly around improving fan safety. Once completed, more to follow… much! Designing plan for training grounds, 1 ) in preparation for upcoming season; 2) with future in mind. Our mission is to give our 1st team and others in our playing family the best in facilities, for proper training and recovery. More to follow! David B & co very focused on building the squad to carry us through next season and beyond… this is our top #1 priority and will receive outsized attention. And even with restrictions placed on us for the next two seasons due to prior owners behavior, @michaelestorch, Tom and I have unwavering confidence in David and his football brain trust to make all of us @swfc fans proud. We strive to put a great team on the pitch! Even while back in the States, please know our entire focus and energy is squarely on making Sheffield Wednesday the best all around club and fan experience we can. We will continue to strive for excellence in everything we do! We will give it our all… for you! This is your club! David

@WTIDPOD Agreed. Blue is so much better. Far more aesthetically pleasing.

Central stripe HAS to be blue and I’m not going to be told otherwise. I wonder how many times we’ve had each?

@JMC92_ Anyone with eyes.

Just out of curiosity, is there a single person out there that thinks that’s a penalty that ISN’T a Celtic fan?

@GeoffSWFC @umbro It was all downhill ever since that final replay, after which we stopped wearing Umbro. Bring back the good times!

Welcome back @umbro #SWFC

@Hoainguyen888 Their best for sure. An absolute banger.

In my personal opinion, this is their best song. I think it's one of the best pop songs ever written. It's a fantastic comeback and deserves the number one spot. A very cleverly constructed song.

@AlexJPMiller Take my fucking money.

🚨Gather Sheffield Wednesday will have a new kit manufacturer heading into next season.. with the return of Umbro from the club's 80s/90s heyday. Details in here including Macron termination and how it could benefit club / supporters👇 thestar.co.uk/sport/football… #SWFC🦉

@MattF1867 Have to agree there. Love the guy to bits but it’s the one thing that’s always disappointed me. Suppose he knew he’d be out the door if he did.

Funny how the Bannans always find their voice unless it’s about the man who destroyed the club. Hard to bite the hand that’s handed out the big contracts for years. 🤐 #SWFC

@Samking20202 Forest a close second.

Genuinely may have the best badge in EFL Jesus Christ 😍#swfc

@LeonS5owl @storchyowl Nope

Hi @storchyowl I think it looks better (1867) 👍🏻

@Dunsbyowl @umbro - you know what to do

Want. #swfc

@BuildsByKB That black and yellow owl is mega

Today has been a busy day, but a good day at @BuildsByKB. It's always nice doing something different... and these turned out absolutely brilliant if I must say so myself 😂 Thoughts? #swfc #buildsbykb

United fans hearing that were no longer under embargoes or fee restrictions.

@CityPotts @henrywinter @SWFCTrust Even the English owners pre Chansiri like Allen and Richards were awful. We’ve not been run well since the 80’s. Good luck to Storch… he’s already the best person we’ve seen at the helm for 40 years.

@henrywinter @SWFCTrust Oh great another American owner 🙄 just what we need! No offence to Wednesday fans, I realise your situation is desperate.

“We have stared down uncertainty, frustration and heartache yet the loyalty and resilience of Wednesdayites has never faltered. We have stood together. That spirit must now fuel our future.” #SWFC @SWFCTrust

@kr62209 Thankyou so much for everything Kris. You’re a class act.

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

@LCFCDATA Football can change v quickly. At the start of this season Wednesday came to your place a backetcase. Now, we are in a better position than you. Your finances are horrific. Sadly I fear you’ll have a tough road back like us getting rid of Chansiri. You’ll be back - good luck!

I mean absolutely no offence with this, what so ever. But what on earth are we doing here? 🤦🏼‍♂️ | #LCFC |

@storchyowl @swfc What a great start Saturday was David. Your speech was class. Whenever Hillsborough is full like that, it’s like a 12th man on the pitch. I just knew we would win. Let’s get as many fans into the stadium as possible next season. WAWAW

Wanted to take some time to reflect on a day I’ve been dreaming of for months. Saturday was perfect. Will never be able to express how grateful I am for the warm welcome the @SWFC fans gave my family and me. The sun shone down on our wonderful club on Saturday. It was the experience of a lifetime to enjoy the moment with you all…. To share our new crest designed by the incredible local agency Peter and Paul…. To share the news that after an incredible collaborative effort between my team, the @EFL and BTG we will start next season on zero points!…. To introduce you to our incredible new CEO, David Bruce…. And to witness over 30,000 of my newest friends singing for 99 minutes straight as our Owls closed out such a difficult season with a win. I’d like to further highlight how grateful I am to the @EFL for their diligence and approach in working with us to ratify all issues and achieve our target of closing by 1 May. It takes a village; but without the commitment and tenacity of Asher Simons, Clive Betts MP and James Silverwood in particular, we would not be where we are today. It’s been an extremely emotional 48 hours for me after a long process, but now the focus is already completely on action. We are proceeding ahead immediately on all fronts and we will update you, the fans, as we go. You are the reason Michael and I are here, the reason we have fallen in love with this city and this club. We will do everything in our power to ensure we don’t let you down. David #wawaw #uto #swfc

@Dunsbyowl Take all my money immediately. The old badge and Umbro? Incredible. 😍🦉🔵⚪️

Have heard it's going to be an Umbro #swfc kit next season #UTO 😉
