A new covenant between owners and fans

 A new covenant between owners and fans | Maximising SWFC’s potential together 

The Trust’s Investment & Finance sub-committee, working in conjunction with the Football Supporters Association and other parties experienced in raising investment in football clubs, has been exploring models for fan investment in the Club alongside financial investors. 

We believe that the benefits of an engaged and supportive fanbase are clear to any new owner, through building a ‘new covenant’ with the fan base and repairing the trust between owner and fans that has been broken over the course of the last decade. Our planned structure brings together the thousands of Wednesday fans, who we anticipate investing in the club for emotional and impact reasons, enabling an enhanced return for financially motivated investors. 

Ahead of launching our investment plans to the wider fan base, we want to engage and consult with potential majority or anchor investors to shape the planned structure. 

The Trust would therefore like to engage with: 

• Potential lead investors, be they individuals, funds or consortia seeking to buy Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. 
• High net worth supporters of the Club who may be interested in investing in the Club for an enhanced financial return. 

Please contact investors@swfctrust.co.uk with your contact details, and we will then arrange to speak with you or your representatives, subject to any Non-Disclosure Agreements that you wish to be put in place.
