Quite an unfortunate place to drift off into an ellipsis.

A message from the players to all Wednesdayites 🦉
Or a Pagan burning ritual?
Half term at Center Parcs is probably too expensive.

Just kill someone at Center Parcs
Or it is nearly Guy Fawkes night...
Please tell me the administrators are going to flog the golden elephants on eBay? #swfc #SheffieldWednesday

It appears that the scale of destruction that Sheff Wed owner has wreaked on the club has resulted in genuine delight from their fans over administration and a 12 point deduction. We don’t know how lucky we are. #EFC
It needed to happen. As terrible it is for the staff and suppliers, it was only going to go on and on. There's actual management at the club now. It's going to be painful while they balance the books but I don't feel like we're done.

You've been good all week. Reward yourself with an afternoon of reading.

If you've not got a book, maybe pop to an indie bookshop, then head home to keep warm!

Sheffield Wednesday are in administration

Without structural reform this stuff will keep happening - it is yet another sign English football needs to get its house in order and move clubs away from owner reliance

Sheffield Wednesday placed in administration, set for 12-point deduction
Wednesday will now fall to minus six points after 11 games of the Championship season.

I feel weirdly positive about going into administration. Chansiri was never going to engage and we would have languished in limbo until we were wound up. Cutting the head off the snake means his grasp has loosened and we can work our way free. #swfc
Agreed. He was never going to relinquish us on his own.
You'd like to think so but the club still registered the attendance at over 21,000. 🙄

Administrators are already encouraging fans to come back so they can cover the day to day costs.
Ashley doesn't overly concern me. He stabilised Newcastle he just didn't invest to take them forward. Yep Textor was Palace. He has a multitude of issues, Lyon being one of them.
We were one of the only clubs to vote against their points deduction. There should be solidarity. 🙂
Not since the announcement but John Textor and Mike Ashley have been sniffing. Waiting for us to be cheaper to buy.
Thank you.💙 We've been here before. Hopefully we can ride it out.

As a Wrexham fan I feel the pain. I can only say it will pass and that Begbies Traynor were excellent administrators for Wrexham & helped save the club.
Good luck.
