No close knowledge of the circumstances, the individuals involved or the veracity of the statements made. But I do think this is a model of how a football club should address & inform its supporters.
As part of the transparent approach to communication with supporters, we are providing an update on developments from the Club’s finances and ownership structure.

Have now read this. Can recommend to any #SWFC fans in need of escapism - & who isn’t? A fun mix of fact & fantasy. Thanks @MattBurgin5
Never come away from doing a parkrun empty handed in terms of a story to tell. But in today’s case at Millhouses literally. A fellow runner, @MattBurgin5, palmed me this. Maybe it brings light to the gloom for #SWFC fans? A fun read promised. Thanks Matt!

Longer term, I’m sure regulation will benefit football, clubs & fans. But #SWFC desperately need a fix in the short. Hope I’m wrong but it’s the potential time lag that’s the worry… with extra powers having to be ratified & evidence gathered.
Been asked a lot about the IFR in respect of a certain owner. My view hasn’t changed on what I’ve seen & hard - it’s not a magic wand to make him disappear in a puff of smoke. He’s bound to challenge. May take months. About damage in the meantime. #SWFC

Yes. And if it’s not creating a “decision-making ‘utopia’” then what exactly is the point of it?
Apparently Anthony Taylor has said: “Those who expected VAR to create a decision-making ‘utopia’ are way off the mark.” I wasn’t expecting anything of the sort personally. I expected chaos & we have it. I would rather refs just reffed as they do in the EFL and have done with VAR

It truly breaks my heart to have to push this out. It’s my club and one person is absolutely destroying us and we must back this campaign to really force change. I want my football club back and if this is what’s needed then so be it. Chansiri get out of our club @swfc

Our Sheffield Wednesday fan survey has only been up a few hours and we're already into a four-figure response. Thanks to those who have taken it. Only takes a couple of minutes. Keep them coming. 👉 https://t.co/tPu405iXix

Meanwhile, in reference to #SWFC, an apparent pledge to act. Certainly there will be many forming an instant judgment on the regulator based on whether they do act & how successfully.

Good wider point from David Kogan, chair of the new independent football regulator. Why should responsible & well intentioned club owners have to submit to inevitably losing money?

Today we remember George Baldock one year after his tragic passing. ❤️

The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust have been keeping the Independent Football Regulator (IFR) abreast of developments at Sheffield Wednesday throughout the summer via the incredibly hardworking Clive Betts MP. By sharing our research and investigations with the IFR, both

It’s a shocking state of affairs when one of your first thoughts about an unfortunate long lay-off for a fine young player is that at least his desperate chairman won’t be able to sell him in January. Best wishes to Ernie Weaver. #SWFC

One certainty amid the desperate uncertainty at #SWFC is that, as John Textor has said, there are several still interested. Understand these include Owls fan businessman David Richards. Possibly also Mike Ashley. No movement but monitoring.
