It was a great privilege for Gandiaowl and me to attend Di's funeral today as unofficial representaives of owlstalk. Trev and his family are warm, genuine and lovely people and thanks to your generosity, it was a lovely service and the kind of funeral everyone would love to have. The songs, poems and prayers were so heartfelt and Alford crematorium was such a peaceful and fitting venue. Trev gave Di a wonderful send off and thank you to all owlstalkers for making it possible. RIP Di, you are most definitely loved.

The Trust has done a fine job, do we really need another separate fans group? Or does somebody just want the attention and the feeling of self importance?

In all seriousness. 16 goals and 8 assists last season. 31, always fit, plays anywhere, brilliant character. For a small fee, he'd be a brilliant acquisition.

I'm a mate of David Fords, and we were at the Corporate thing on Monday night. The warmth of the greeting given by David Storch when David Ford was introduced to him was really genuine, and I know that meant a lot to David, who has consistently attended Hillsborough throughout the Chansiri years and been disappointed with the direction of the club. I know David and his wife have been invited tonight and are attending. Davids a lovely fella and all his kids/grandkids have been indoctrinated into the Wednesday Way. This is another example of the club doing the right thing under this new leadership.

Please make this stop now. The trust is the vehicle now. Nobody else stepped up. They've earned the right to be the voice of the fans, by the fans, for the fans.

Honestly it's so unbelievably positive isn't it Getting involved on a granular level to make sure he's embedded right into the hearts and minds of our fanbase Everything sounding and looking positive Unbelievable season ticket sales Unbelievable new matchday, corporate and box/suite facilities matched with an incredible number of signups for it And we have July to look forward to when we can sign players again It's all so positive Long may it continue

Not sure why we need all this to be honest. Chansiri managed to run the club on his own without all this….

Simple thread to put all signings/ renewed contracts in just to save scrolling through the rumours thread Ricardo Santos- 1 year with 1 year option Liam Cooper - 1 year Max Lowe - 1 year with 1 year option Jordi Liongola - 3 year

Got a spare few minutes so just watched Simon Wilson interview. I rarely post on here, more of a reader than a writer, but thought i would share my views. Having supported the Owls since 1968 when i moved to Sheffield as a kid, like so many on here, i have seen so many ups and downs. But this last few months feels so different. Firstly, we all know we will have poor results this next season.....well we are Wednesday......but i just feel that it will not affect the positiveness that currently surrounds the club. All the new guys talk so well and appear to 'get' Wednesday. Yes they are saying what we all long to hear, but they are not going over the top. We need money investing in the infrastructure and they recognise that. The club has already talked to players with a view to joining.......and why wouldnt they. Storch and his team are putting the time....and miles in to meet with future stakeholders. What is not to admire about how professional they have been. Round pegs in round holes. Stay positive, all bodes well.......even if we lose to Bromley!!! In the words of Storchy/Bruce......enjoy the ride.

He was 31 yesterday.

My 70th Birthday cake provided by my family. I chose to play a gig with my band on the evening of my birthday hence the musical notes and the owl playing a harmonica. It tasted as good as it looked too.

Can we not do better than this? He's our player. He came in and played at a time of horrific circumstances, he played at a time when for his progress I'd imagine he was never intended to be a first team player for us. Last season he played his first ever senior professional matches when we were desperate for players, we should be backing those who played under such circumstances, not making snidey digs when we're now moving on from that terrible recent past as a club, as a fanbase, as a team.

Hi Owls -- David Storch joined us in the studio today for a catch-up. Check it out via the link below: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0nt03hc

Just got the VERY shitty news that Glenn Ashley has passed. This is Glenn in the centre He was a massive Wednesday fan and honestly he'll be missed Really shocked by this news honestly He was a TOP bloke RIP mate

.

Sure a few will be upset by this but I'm honestly not fussed that he's gone. He was a workhorse but his output wasn't great. Glad to see we have done the sensible thing if a new deal couldn't be agreed.

Absolutely fuming with this tbh. There surely had to be a goalkeeper called Barry available somewhere?

Good luck David Storch

And it begins

Hey @swfc family, Coming off another action packed week in Sheffield with David Bruce and team joined by @michaelestorch and a day with Tom Costin. Love the executive team DB is building, Simon Wilson + new member Oscar Chamberlain. Lots of leadership energy coupled with consultant partners Peter and Paul, Icon, Arup, General Sports, Jim O’Hara and others. DB presented future state to over 500 supporters on Monday, all Wednesday employees on Wednesday and 35 Legends who we welcomed back to the club on Thursday. Shared our search for excellence across the full spectrum of activities committing to engaging with fans, players and Sheffield community. We strive for @swfc to be the place to be for all… fans, players and community . Let’s make football fun!! All the best, David

If we're doing this let's set expectations

Joe Lumley has had a few seasons as a first choice keeper at Championship clubs. Hes now at a peak age for a keeper. Thinking that he couldn’t do a more than adequate job in League One is sheer snobbery. And we have to box clever here. We have a limited transfer budget and can’t inject owner capital to top up allowable wages. There are going to have to be compromises somewhere. It may well be that Wilson & Co think it worth getting a steady Eddie in net for a modest outlay because it then enables them to spend on more expensive talents in midfield and attack. With the restrictions we have, it simply isn’t possible to go and get the best player in the division in every position. Sensible and calculated moves have to be made. We need to box clever and Joe Lumley could be one of those moves.

No, close thread.

Darren Purse?

Almost goes without saying but.. speaks really well. "Players for now, players for the future". "Balance". No moaning from the usual suspects when we announce Bannan and Vardy, please!

Yes please. Perfect for L1 and brilliant sh*thouser.

Time to resurrect another club classic... No? Too soon?

We've got it right for us I think. Henrick did an amazing job last season just keeping the players fighting and playing for us, the shirt and themselves. We are now seeing that he was doing all this with facilities that aren't even up to non league standard and having to do so much more than a manager should. Keeping him in place means we have someone who knows the place inside out. He knows what we need and it seems Storch is giving it to him. If it doesn't quite work out then we will make a change, same as if we brought someone new in and it didn't work.

Sh!t anyway

Shall we call this out for what it is? Yet another 'Pederson Out' thread......

Dave do you spend more time on their forum than ours? we laugh at them for being so invested in us and it’s all you post about mate

Glad a couple of posters have picked this up. The lads who wanted to pull the shirt on last season and battled in the most ridiculous of circumstances deserve full respect, and most certainly not snide remarks, for giving it their all.
