Everything about yesterday was perfect. The crowd anticipation before the game, Storch arriving, the -15 countdown to 0, the goals, atmosphere throughout etc etc. Emotional!! #SWFC
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

Retweet, we have one to give away #SWFC
David Kogan appointed as chair of the Independent Football Regulator to encourage/force the game to get a grip of finances, governance and ownership issues, and not before time. Football's shown it can't govern itself. It needs someone to help. Much is right about football but plenty wrong. "There are urgent and critical issues that need addressing in football, and I look forward to working with all stakeholders to achieve the right solutions for a more sustainable industry," Kogan says.
Clever appointment. Kogan doesn’t suffer fools, incredibly bright (important in a sport increasingly riddled with lawyers) and well-respected by the leagues, PL and EFL, for his work negotiating TV rights deals. He’ll need to be a mix of tough and patient. DCMS says Kogan will be “remunerated at £130,000 per annum for an initial time commitment of three days per week”. He’ll need three days a week just to work on the shambles at Sheffield Wednesday.
#SWFC today hit with sixth embargo, this time for delayed wages to players. Fans intensify plans to try somehow to get a wretched owner, Dejphon Chansiri, to behave responsibly towards the club and sell up. @SWFCTrust calling on fans not to renew season tickets early – “no funding our own decline” – and to boycott the Middlesbrough game on 22 Oct.
Huge, difficult and painful call to ask long-standing fans to break their season-ticket habit. Some already are not re-applying simply because they don’t want to give any more money to Chansiri. Heart-breaking to stop going and supporting the team they love but needs must, more pressure needed on Chansiri. Kogan’s first challenge (of many). Good luck to him.
