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

Todays game at Hillsborough will be played in loving memory of both Mark Townsend and Lauren Walker. ♥️
Their friends and family are in all our thoughts today.
Defibrillators in every corner, at every ground.

Without going all pseudo-intellectual; at the heart of it, football is all about the shared human experience. Today will be one of those. Enjoy it; wear something daft, have another drink, cuddle a stranger.
Who truly knows what comes next, but for today who cares? Today is about the last year and the scale of shared achievement. It's about how people worked together and kept the thing breathing. And it's about the renewal of hope and possibility.
Park protests, leaflets, boycotts, embassies, Leicester, Boro, Megastore sell-outs, Oxford, endless togetherness on endless doomed away trips. Fear, defiance, faith. Personally, I'm proud and privileged to have witnessed the whole lot.
Today's society feels increasingly individual and cold and uninterested in the value of community. It wasn't without its moments, but the overwhelming feeling is that Sheffield Wednesday's 2025/26 travails brought it all back. Awesome in the true sense of the word.
UTO.

@storchyowl what a legend u are we been through so many hard times in the last few years i cant thank you enough and the guys who have come and saved us 🇺🇸💙🦉
January has been the most fun I've ever had streaming on Twitch.
I'm truly blown away by the support I've received recently, and I want to thank my good friend @TheWiseGrapeTV for inspiring me to push myself.
I'm so excited for what this year will bring 💚
Biggest ever #swfc legend
Took 2 paycuts, one to half his wage and one to sign on 7k a week to stay with the fans. Went down to L1 when offered a chance at Prem football, halved his wage to do so and took us back up from oblivion
Legend doesn't do him justice.

Please as a club can we subside something for fans, free drink, pie summat. This lot went out of their way to help us in our hour of need, way beyond what they needed to do. We have done a lot of good in the last few months, please #swfc do the right thing here.
