From the WBD LinkedIn pages 'WBD Capital is the leading private equity fund in investments in companies in Spain that are going through special situations, of particular complexity and / or that require transformation processes. In this sense, it typically invests in both the equity and the debt of companies that have a good strategic position but that face significant strategic, operational, financial or shareholder challenges.

It means he has a share in the club. And now he’s removed it, perhaps he wasn’t supposed to reveal that piece of information? This is getting very very sinister.

Nero Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I think he has definitely invested in the SWFC company in exchange for a share..

@owlstalk Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Thing is - this could actually be the most exciting news to come out of Sheffield Wednesday in years It could genuinely be a really positive and exciting partnership But it wouldn't be Sheffield Wednesday if it was announced as such and we get to meet these new guys and hear their plans Instead they post on their socials that they are shareholders and once again we're back to fans having to guess and worry 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Bottom line is, what we are doing at the minute is a shambles so I can’t see the harm in trying. Do what you’ve always done and you get what you’ve always got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m expecting the club to be sold at some point in the future. This potential link-up may be the first step on that road? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you’ve always done and you get what you’ve always got. How is this any different to what we’ve done before with Doyen or Paixao advising the club? It could turn out great who knows, but given DC’s history I think it’s just part of another tangled web which won’t be good news in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current hotshot recruitment team have unearthed a gem in Cyprus called Hutchinson so let’s hope this lot are better connected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
