Michael Storch outlines Premier League club that Sheffield Wednesday can follow – makes Barry Bannan claim

Sheffield Wednesday co-owner Michael Storch has highlighted AFC Bournemouth as a model for the club to follow after marking one year since entering administration. Storch, whose Arise consortium took over the Owls in May, noted that Bournemouth's steady rise from League Two to the Premier League demonstrates what Wednesday can achieve through sound, long-term decision-making.

Storch also addressed the future of returning club icon Barry Bannan, expressing full support for the midfielder remaining at Hillsborough in a coaching or managerial role after retiring. Additionally, the ownership highlighted the implementation of a Fan Advisory Board to foster closer community and supporter relationships.
