Includes some choice words from former Chairman Dave Allen.

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club have announced that an agreement has been reached which will see ownership of the Club pass from Chairman Mr Milan Mandaric to Mr Hafiz Mammadov.

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club is a football club based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, who are competing in the Football League Championship, the second tier of the English Football League System. Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest professional clubs in the world and the third oldest in the English league. They won the second football competition ever held, the Cromwell Cup, which remains in their possession. The Wednesday, as they were named until 1929, were founding members of The Football Alliance in 1889, and its first champions that inaugural season. The Wednesday joined The Football League three years later when the leagues merged. Sheffield Wednesday were also one of the founding members of The Premier League in 1992.

Their main rivals are Sheffield United, the two clubs having contested the Steel City derby on a regular basis for some 100 years. Barnsley, Leeds United, Rotherham United, Chesterfield and Doncaster Rovers are also local rivals. The club has spent the majority of its history in the top flight of English football since joining the Football League in 1892 under the name of The Wednesday Football Club. They have won four League titles, three FA Cups and one League Cup, but their League Cup triumph in 1991 is their only major trophy since 1935. They did reach both domestic cup finals in 1993, but lost 2--1 to Arsenal at Wembley on both occasions. They also lost the 1966 FA Cup final to Everton 3--2, having led 2--0.

They play their home matches at Hillsborough Stadium in the north-western suburb of Owlerton from which the club gained its nickname, The Owls. The stadium was built in 1899 when the lease expired at the club's previous ground of Olive Grove. The Hillsborough stadium is currently an all-seater ground with a capacity of 39,732.

Supporters' groups include Wednesdayite, an independent football supporters' organisation that owned over 10% of the shares in SWFC before the 2010 sale of the club, and The London Owls, an active supporters' club for Wednesday fans living in London and South East England.
