Sheffield Wednesday takeover complete, no points deduction

sportsMay 2, 202636197

U.S. businessman David Storch and his Arise Capital Partners consortium completed the takeover of Sheffield Wednesday. The English Football League has waived a proposed 15-point deduction for the 2026/27 season that had been tied to the takeover. The waiver preserves Sheffield Wednesday’s point total and removes a season-altering penalty that would have affected promotion and relegation prospects.

A consortium led by U.S. businessman David Storch has completed a takeover of Sheffield Wednesday, who are now out of administration and have had next season’s 15-point deduction in League One waived by the English Football League (EFL).

Lovely to see Sheffield Wednesday finally arriving at ZERO points on the last day of the season. Sisyphus would be proud.

Today is the day for Sheffield Wednesday! Hopefully the takeover will be signed and we can move on from this horror of a season. #swfc

I do hope all this talk of today is going to happen! I can’t believe until it’s official, I suppose that’s part of supporting #SWFC for 60+ years you always have a little bit of doubt

If Sheffield Wednesday win their final league game today, at a sold-out Hillsborough vs West Brom, it would be their second win of the season and take them to 0 points. #swfc #wewant0

Poor bastards. Fun to see other clubs suffer, but not like this. Fair play to every Wednesday fan that has been showing up this season, and hope you get that 0. Of course you’re forgetting your other win this season, although that wasn’t in the league - so you know, “fuck off” for that. #lufc

As a professional journalist I of course remain entirely impartial.

Something wonderful about Sheffield Wednesday finishing on 0 points, just the 52 points from safety 😂😂😂 #lufc

if Sheffield Wednesday lose or draw today, would it be the first time in the Premier League or EFL that a team has *finished* the season with negative points?

Final day of the season and Sheffield Wednesday are about 10 mins away from the win that would guarantee they finish on the magical 0 (that’s right, zero) points.
