    “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 @[email protected]

  2. Just to add to Sheffield Wednesday story.... new owners’ test doesn’t come into force until Tuesday but the IFR has been working in the background with the owners, administrators, fans’ groups and EFL throughout on the takeover. IFR also understood to have asked searching questions of the previous preferred bidders. #SWFC

    Sheffield Wednesday under new ownership. EFL confirms administrators have “concluded an agreement with Arise Capital Partners LLC, a consortium led by David Storch, alongside Michael Storch and Tom Costin, to the transfer of assets of the Club and place Sheffield Wednesday under new ownership”. #SWFC

  4. The man who wants to rescue Sheffield Wednesday, American businessman David Storch, says he has been “informed that a 15-point penalty is set to be imposed at the start of next season” in League One. The outgoing owner Dejphon Chansiri should hang his head in shame at the damage he has inflicted on Sheffield Wednesday. He can’t have a conscience. Otherwise he’d accept a compromise on bid price. 

    The EFL should have been tougher with Chansiri quicker. The FA should remember it is supposed to be custodians of the game and protect clubs. The importance of an Independent Football Regulator, much delayed by vested interests, is highlighted again by events at Wednesday. 

    At the moment, the people being punished at Wednesday are fans, players, staff and the man who wants to save them. Shameful situation engulfing a historic club which could have been avoided with stronger leadership by the authorities. And Chansiri locating some principles. #SWFC
