Sheffield Wednesday fans erupted in celebration as their club dodged a 15-point League One relegation penalty after a dramatic takeover by Arise Capital Partners, led by David Storch, Michael Storch, and Tim Costin. The –15 points deduction, initially feared to be permanent, was reversed when the EFL accepted a late offer from Chansiri’s creditors, allowing the club to start fresh. A sell-out crowd at Hillsborough witnessed the moment, cheering as the penalty countdown hit zero during Saturday’s 2-1 win over West Brom.
