David Storch update: Sheffield Wednesday's possible new owner details city trip - including Owls legend meet-up
David Storch has been making the most of his time in Sheffield, spending time with a Sheffield Wednesday legend along the way.
The Wednesday Word reported yesterday that the American businessman, who is hopeful of completing a takeover of the Owls, had spent the afternoon watching Henrik Pedersen’s men against Stoke City - doing so in the company of a couple of Arctic Monkeys, Milburn, and the great Richard Hawley.
Now, as he seemingly prepares to leave the UK, he has taken to social media to give some details on his trip around the Steel City - noting some of those that he’s been able to spend time with since arriving.
There is still some way to go in Arise’s takeover bid as discussions continue to take place, but Storch is saying all the right things as things stand - at Wednesdayites like what they’re hearing.
David Storch: I fall more in love
His post read as follows:
Another amazing week in Sheffield with so many special moments. Every time I come here, I fall more in love with this city and its people, who have been so warm and welcoming.
Great interactive Q&A with the SWFC staff at Hillsborough; their loyalty is admirable. We will restore joy and pride to the offices as we create a culture of excellence.
I’ve been impressed with the strong civic leadership I’ve seen from Mayor Oliver Coppard and Kate Josephs. I have further enjoyed building a great relationship with Clive Betts. Also loved my time with Sheffield Wednesday Legend, David Hirst, who still has so much passion for the Owls.
My team and I are working on so many important initiatives so that we can hit the ground running once we take over this wonderful club. Most notably; improvements to Hillsborough and the design of our kit and crest (stay tuned!😉).
Had the opportunity to host a lunch at the outstanding new restaurant in the City Centre; Maria. You guys have to try it! We were joined by Lord Blunkett who enlightened us with his many stories spanning 75 years of genuine love for the club through the good times and not so.
I finished my visit, stopping in at the Broomhill Tavern, relaxing over a pint with some new friends watching our match against Stoke City… I’d like to wish everybody a very Happy Easter weekend as we continue into next week heads down on this journey to rebuild this incredible football club.
See you soon, David.
PS. was also lucky enough to find 2 vintage shirts at Rag Parade... Love it!
David has had quite the weekend.
love the Wednesday music fraternity showing him a good time too.
