Aaaand we are back with the commitment of being a monthly podcast for the 2026/27 season! And also now we had the silly idea of putting it out as a video podcast too! Join us for Season 8 as we get into the latest on the squad rebuild and the general whelmage of a competent #swfc

And we are back! To bid adieu to 25/26 with a haphazard season recollection/review episode. Strange what a takeover can do... Make you guardedly optimistic for the future and bring two podcasting duffers out for a post-retirement run around (charity match, anyone?) #uto #swfc

The EFL has sanctioned Sheffield Wednesday consistently since 2018.

Over that period, the club has been hit with multiple transfer embargoes spanning nearly a decade. By October 2025, Wednesday were under six simultaneous embargoes — the most any club has ever faced.

On top of that, the club has suffered repeated points deductions. A -12 deduction in 2020/21 severely damaged recruitment and momentum going into that season. Although it was later reduced to -6 on appeal, the damage had already been done — those points ultimately proved the difference between survival and relegation to League One.

In 2025, the situation worsened further. The club received:
•-12 points for entering administration, after the former owner failed to meet basic financial obligations such as paying wages and bills on time
•A further -6 point deduction, again due to the owner’s failure to uphold his responsibilities

This is not a case of a club gaining an unfair advantage — quite the opposite. The club has been placed at a significant competitive disadvantage for years due to sustained mismanagement.

Sheffield Wednesday has endured one of the most damaging ownership periods a club of its size is likely to experience. The former owner’s approach has not only harmed the club financially but also created a toxic environment for staff and supporters alike.

And yet, despite this, there is now an expectation that the same owner should be repaid — while the club continues to face further punishment.

How can that be justified?

The new ownership group should not be penalised for the failures of the previous regime. They should be given the opportunity to restore stability to a club that has lacked it for nearly 26 years.

Imposing further sanctions — such as another -15 point deduction, spending caps, business plan restrictions, and transfer limitations — would only deepen the damage. It risks condemning the club to yet another relegation and prolonging the cycle of instability.

At some point, there has to be recognition that continued punishment is no longer corrective — it is excessive.

The club, its staff, and its supporters deserve the chance to move forward.

The bittersweet administration klaxon has awoken the Gravy Boys from their podcasting slumber. We ponder the season so far on and off the pitch including an expert high brow video game analogy from Rich while Luke lowers the bar with comparing Wednesday to an era of Madonna #swfc

@Placebo_obecalP Sorry about that Paul, I have no idea how it happened

[DifferentGravyPod @gravy_pod]

The Gravy Boys are back again in the first part of their 24/25 Half-Season Review show, which is out now in all the usual places you find podcasts. Luke and Rich get so heady and giddy about the players that we describe that one player "has scored goals relative to their peers"!

[DifferentGravyPod @gravy_pod]

New episode out now - part two of the season preview. If I've timed it right it will be released at the point our season should be starting, 3pm on a Saturday! Anyway, we discuss Wednesday becoming the anti-Millwall (apt) and make some predictions for the season ahead. #swfc

[DifferentGravyPod @gravy_pod]

@thefunkyfantom Hey mate, I've weirdly found that there are two feeds (Ill look into it at some point), but maybe check both on there

[DifferentGravyPod @gravy_pod]

Out now, wherever you listen to the podcasts, a new episode of Different Gravy! We get into the usual nonsense of old dishy players looking like George Michael/Salt Bae before getting into covering the transfer window so far from #swfc.
