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
Really feeling the blues today sat on my flight back to Chicago after one of the best days of my life on Saturday. Wishing we could do it all over again.
I’ll never forget the welcome you, the fans, gave to me and my family. Getting to meet so many of you was so much fun.
After a long and tough process, I want to thank my dad and business partner @storchyowl for believing in this and finding a way. When many could not see a path forward, he kept pushing us all to find it.
We had some great meetings with David Bruce and Henrik this week and there really is just so much to do but I’m incredibly energized.
This is going to be an awesome journey. I’ll be back soon!

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.
🚨EXC: Gather Dejphon Chansiri missed a deadline on an offer that could have seen him receive future ££ out of SWFC.. by just a few minutes.
Offer made in light of EFL 'min div' rule, miss means he *could* walk away with nothing.

💷 Sheffield Wednesday will not be subject to a £7,000 weekly wage cap or £7m seasonal spend next season...
That and more in this piece over on @TheWordSWFC: https://t.co/OIcc8NcfMa 🦉⚽️
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
