Sheffield Wednesday remain the only English team to win at the Estadio Azteca, beating Toluca 4-1 in 1967. 🇲🇽🦉

A unique piece of football history.

Le Fleetwood Mac du "monstrueux" Peter Green, ici live pour la BBC en 1969, c'était du brut de décoffrage.

Amazing new era! Thank you to @AriseCapInvest #DavidStorch, #MichaelStorch, #TomCostin and the #Aspiregroup for putting their faith in @swfc @SWFCTrust and our passionate fans! #USA

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

Not big Nathaniel getting choked up at the very end 💙

Give him that deal, don't even care about injuries this season. Get him match fit and like yesterday he's the best player on the pitch, let alone in League 1, be a cheat code.

[Shaun Collinge @maltingsyork]

Absolutely superb… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As an @LUFC fan I can relate to that -15 great support from the 🦉’s fans under such circumstance…

Hopefully they can re-group next season & get THEIR club back on the right track ! #Respect

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

I’m pleased that, at the end of such a turbulent season, there is light at the end of the tunnel for Sheffield Wednesday’s loyal supporters and a brighter future for this historic club.

I pay tribute to the fans for their dedication as the club went through such uncertain times.

[Dom Howson @domhowson]

Brilliantly executed by #SWFC and the new ownership group before kick-off. 🦉⚽️

[Rob Staton @robstaton]

The moment Sheffield Wednesday fans found out their club isn’t facing any points deductions next season… #SWFC

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

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

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

Dejphon Chansiri's ownership at Sheffield Wednesday has officially come to an end.

The club has been bought out by US consortium Arise Capital Partners, and the EFL say they will no longer face a 15-point deduction next season.

[The Championship Chat Podcast @Champchatpod24]

🦉 𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗗𝗔𝗪𝗡! 🦉

Following months of chaos and uncertainty, Sheffield Wednesday now have a future to look forward to! 😍

New owner David Storch was introduced to the fans ahead of kick-off at Hillsborough this lunchtime - and he had a very nice surprise! 🤩

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

BREAKING: Sheffield Wednesday under new ownership after takeover from Arise Capital Partners LLC 🚨

[Alan Biggs @AlanBiggs1]

That is huge!

[Sheffield Wednesday @swfc]

As if today couldn't get any better! 🦉

I’d absolutely love this tune back.

🌴 HONOLULU WEDNESDAY IS HERE 🌴

After everything this fanbase has been through…
The protests.
The uncertainty.
The lowest of lows.

Today isn’t about that.

Today is about us.

A fanbase that refused to walk away.
A fanbase that stood its ground.
A fanbase that now stands together looking forward, not back.

This isn’t just fancy dress and inflatables (although bring plenty of both)…
It’s a statement. This fanbase is different.

Enjoy today, it’s one we all truly deserve.

WAWAW
