Sheffield Wednesday’s dramatic takeover saga has finally come to an end — but the questions surrounding the club’s administration, EFL intervention and future under David Storch and Arise Capital are only just beginning.
In this exclusive interview, Kris Wigfield of Begbies Traynor — the man who oversaw the deal that rescued Sheffield Wednesday — joins us for the second time during this extraordinary process, having first appeared with us at the very beginning of the administration saga.
Now, with the takeover finally complete, Wigfield speaks candidly about the 175-day administration process, the collapse of rival bids, the controversial points deduction debate, and how close the club came to disaster.
We also delve into comparisons with Derby County, the role of the EFL, Dejphon Chansiri’s involvement behind the scenes, and why Wigfield believes David Storch and Arise Capital can finally bring long-term stability back to Hillsborough.
A must-watch conversation for Sheffield Wednesday supporters and anyone interested in football finance, ownership and governance.
