Sheffield Wednesday ‘can be top 10 club’, owner suggests one year on from administration crisis – LBC

Sheffield Wednesday chief executive David Bruce says the club can return to being one of England’s top 10, a year after it entered administration. His ambition reflects the new owners’ plans to rebuild a historic club after years of financial crisis and neglected facilities.

An American consortium took control in May, avoiding a 15-point deduction and starting the club afresh in League One. Bruce estimates about £11 million has since been spent on repairs at Hillsborough and the training ground, including improvements to roofs, water and electricity systems. He says the owners see Wednesday as a long-term investment and recognise its importance to the surrounding community.
