The Trust had ongoing discussions with the bidders, engaged early with the preferred bidders, and provided input based on community feedback, though the final decision rested with membership.
"It's Just Incredibly Sad" | The Press Box
Q: What needs to change, in your opinion, both kind of on and off the pitch?
We need to see positivity, whether that be a takeover announcement, just a win, or some goals to reignite hope.
"It's Just Incredibly Sad" | The Press Box
Q: Do you think it was going to be this bad?
No, I probably didn't think it would be like this, looking at administrations from other clubs that have still managed to win games.
McNeill Double Not Enough
Q: Why do you think Sheffield Wednesday struggles with set pieces?
It's a combination of tactical mistakes and a lack of proper coaching, leading to avoidable goals.
