When Sepp Blatter is taking to social media to call out corruption on your watch, it’s probably time to accept that the game’s up.
This is like Fred West critiquing your paving technique.

Healthy debate online this morning, but there’s also been a few mistruths spread about the Trust, so hopefully the below clears a few things up.
1) No formal board offer has been made. Conversations have gone no further than what everybody saw discussed publicly on the video last night.
2) If any formal proposal was ever made, it would go to a membership vote on whether or not the Trust should accept. That is how all major decisions are made as a democratic community benefit society.
3) If members voted in favour, any representative would themselves be elected. Again, democratic and transparent.
4) The Trust would never accept remuneration for such a role. This would be an unpaid volunteer position which, frankly, could often be a thankless task.
5) So why do it if members feel it’s the right decision? Because that representative would gain visibility of the workings of the football club and be able to positively influence non-football, supporter matters. That is the pinnacle of fan engagement and would work alongside all fan groups being properly engaged through a structured supporter engagement model, far far better than anything we had before.
When I first joined the Trust, I wasn’t happy with what I felt was a lack of protest activity. So I joined, got involved and helped influence the direction we took.
That’s the whole point of a democratic supporters’ trust. Anybody can join, anybody can put ideas forward and everybody can have a say in the big decisions that are made.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on the SWFC zero point ruling when comparing to the zero points Derby also received.
Both Clubs paid/are paying 25p in the £ to unsecured creditors.
Derby’s owner completely wrote his debt off. The Wednesday owner was made a sizeable offer.
Derby paid 25p in the £ and left the tax man owed £10’s of millions (EFL Insolvency Policy directs 100p - discretion shown). Wednesday are paying off all owed (100p in the £) to HMRC.
I’m struggling to square why some feel Wednesday should get more than Derby got for exiting Administration when the shortfall to creditors is so much less in the case of SWFC?
Furthermore, the shortfall against EFL Insolvency Policy is also much less in the case of SWFC.
@YesWeCrann Alright Joe, long time listener, first time caller… based on the statement, your gut feeling and what you know. Have we taken a step back here, or is this just public jostling. Is this takeover in doubt now or do you still feel Arise will pull through regardless.
Caps don’t win automatic work and they don’t make a brilliant pundit either. The way you communicate, articulate yourself, do your research, inform your audience, how likeable you are and the chemistry you have with your panel are what makes a brilliant pundit.
Kris Wigfield the consummate professional as ever. Big fuck off to the original ‘ITK’ accounts and the blue ticks that have been spreading propaganda in their absence #swfc
And from a game-going Sheffield Wednesday fan perspective, this whole thing must be soul-destroying. Paying hard-earned money to try and support your club, a club that so desperately needs your support, but ultimately has been hamstrung by a man who left it to rack and ruin.
A disgrace that a club of the size and stature of Sheffield Wednesday have gone into administration.
We're supposed to be living through the golden era of football where there's supposed to be enough money to go around, where the rule makers endure clubs are protected from rogue owners and the incredible pyramid, unique pyramid flourishes for all.
Sending best wishes to the staff, players and supporters of one of England's finest clubs, let's hope new ownership takes over in double quick time.
You know what gives me comfort? One day, this sorry chapter will be closed. Packed stands, the hi ho will be louder than ever, we will have a competitive chance in every game, as we begin the road back. New owners will feel the passion of our club. Better days are coming #swfc
