The James Bord-led consortium told the media today they were pulling out of their attempt to buy Sheffield Wednesday. They said: "We remain incredibly passionate about the opportunity at Sheffield Wednesday and seeing the club return to its former glory." I can't remember a club of this size that has so badly needed the right owner to take over. I'd say to those people that a more appropriate 'M' word to describe Sheffield Wednesday is "mess". It needs major work done to the whole of the club, not just a bob or two spent on the team.
