Hello everyone , this will be my first attempt at a story , so please don't be harsh on me .
Sheffield Wednesday broker deal to avoid administration
Sheffield Wednesday have been saved from administration after reaching an agreement with their bank over tax owed to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs.
The Owls were due at the High Court on Wednesday over a £1.1m unpaid bill.
But the Co-operative Bank agreed to secure the League One club's immediate future after HMRC agreed to withdraw their winding-up petitions.
Irvine: I quit!
Today former Sheffield Wednesday manager Alan Irvine had released a statement saying that he had left the club months after he took the job, this is what he had to say about his departure ,
' I am very sad to be leaving a club like Sheffield Wednesday but, we are staring administration in the face and i don't feel that my job is safe, the main reason for that is a takeover , if the club got took over i could get shown the door and i don't wan't that to happen, i wish the next manager and the club all the best'
Irvine didn't feel that his job was safe at Hillsborough
