Just a look back at this I posted last week about James Bord (now spelled correctly) and his current known links to Bahrain and Italy #swfc
Some ramblings while trying to distract themselves from normal life regarding James Boards bid to buy swfc and why he may be the reason for some of the “ITK” rumours and mentions of buyers from Bahrain and Italy. Here’s where those connections likely come from imo: James Bord

We know Bord has links to Bahrain so what if the backers are from there and that’s why KW mentioned buyers from the Middle East passing the EFL tests #swfc

Think people should read this and take note #swfc
I suppose it’d be unfair to judge James Bord’s #SWFC consortium until we know who it’s made up of and their full intentions… This whole saga is still far from over, too, so there are no guarantees in any of this. Sounds on-the-fencey, but we really just have to wait this out.

Can all of those looking to discredit the process and those running it all now log off and leave them to it #swfc

But but but I thought it was definitely Mike Ashley and KW had got in the way ????
🦉 Exclusive: David Storch, who made his bid to buy Sheffield Wednesday last Friday, speaks to @BBCSheffield Why he’s interested in #SWFC, the name revealed who he’s teamed with & his vision if he’s chosen as preferred bidder https://t.co/48jWIrmgUt

Think of it this way. You instruct an estate agent to sell your house because you need the money to pay off your beef soup debt. You know the house has issues with the structure but it’s not that obvious without a survey so you let the agent list at £250,000 The house looks

Given the recent negativity from fans regarding #SWFC and the current state of our squad, I felt it necessary to provide some perspective on why it’s important to recognise our current position and exercise patience during this period. See notes:

Glad someone else has said this. -15 is not a rule like the -12 for admin
@Markmoorhouse2 Failing to pay 25p in the £ doesn’t automatically mean -15, because the rules allow for different structures. The EFL can hit the club with an extra deduction (often referenced as 15 points) but it’s discretionary NOT automatic…

This is exactly how it should work and hopefully people can understand how this process is not straight forward. I really hope that the Rakuten group come back. Hopefully people start to understand that journalists like @YesWeCrann report on trusted news not just knee jerk.
Amid reports of Mike Ashley becoming a frontrunner in the race to buy #SWFC, I’m of the understanding that a number of potential buyers would rekindle their interest if the price tag was lowered to what he’d be willing to pay… Would open things up again.

Most of the fanbase seem to have recently become experts in insolvency administration. How they’ve all done that whilst at the same time holding down jobs as a football manager is anyone’s guess #swfc

I think someone needs to check their info before rushing to try and be first
It’s my understanding McEvoy/Storch have been unable to come up with the non-refundable deposit so Mike Ashley will be named as the preferred bidder for Sheffield Wednesday. I understand his bid is below £30m so they will be hit with a 15 point deduction next season. #swfc

So much bed wetting going on today. Let’s just all have a mince pie and enjoy the fact our club still exists. #swfc

Let’s just remember that the -15 points is not a hard and fast rule like the immediate -12 is. I assume any argument towards the EFL is that the debt owed to DC is not really a football creditor.

For what it’s worth and I’m not saying this is the reason or anything but there are problems with clearance of money at the moment. #swfc
