Sky Sports pundit reveals Premier League hope for "huge" Sheffield Wednesday as rebuild continues News: The72

Sheffield Wednesday should be back in the top flight as a Premier League club, Sky Sports pundit and ex-manager Tim Sherwood has told The72. Sheffield Wednesday are rebuilding after relegation and administration in the 2025/26 season.

SWFC are now under theownership of David Storch and Arise Capitalafter Dejphon Chansiri was ousted, and some long-awaited ambition has returned to Hillsborough. Few will dispute the size and potential of the Owls project, and one man who believes the Steel City club should be all the way up in the Premier League is Tim Sherwood.

Speaking exclusively to The72 via MaxFreeBets, the pundit and ex-manager said:"I certainly want to seeSheffield Wednesdayhigher up and back in the top flight eventually. "I remember going there and that crowd and that team you had to play against, incredible players there.

If you had the opportunity to spend the money, if you had it, to pile it into that club, that is a huge football club and should be a Premier League club. " No doubts over Sheffield Wednesday 's potential as Storch and co lead a new chapter For some time, Sheffield Wednesday have been viewed as one of English football's most notable sleeping giants.

The Owls are four-time first division winners, have won the FA Cup three times and lifted the League Cup in 1991. The club have not played Premier League football since 2000.

They came close to a return in the early days of Chansiri's reign between 2015 and 2017, but their slide since has been a tough watch and last year, they had a close shave with complete extinction as takeover uncertainty persisted. Now though, Storch and co have injected new life into the club.

With some much-needed investment and the appointment of David Bruce as CEO, SWFC have scope for both short-term and long-term success on and off the pitch. It will be a long road back to their previous heights, but the Hillsborough faithful are finally dreaming again.

However, in the exit from administration and bid to rebuild, the Owls are taking a step-by-step approach. First, they invested in the playing squad to revamp Pedersen's ranks ready for a promotion tilt.

In time, they will be able to completely relieve themselves of spending restrictions set in the administration exit deal with the EFL. From there, the increased corporate presence and off-pitch revenue overseen by Bruce and co can bring bigger spending on the squad.
