It's a news story that's almost as random as the photograph, boys and girls...
Nick Clegg: Long-term solution for Sheffield Wednesday must be found
Wed, 17 Nov 2010
Commenting on the news that Sheffield Wednesday FC has avoided a winding-up order by being granted a 28-day adjournment by the High Court, Deputy Prime Minister and Sheffield Hallam MP, Nick Clegg said:
“Today’s adjournment is welcome news for Sheffield Wednesday and will hopefully give the club the time it needs to attract the required investment.
“It is, however, only a stay of execution and much more needs to be done to safeguard the long-term future of this wonderful football club.
“I have been in regular contact with both the club and the bank over the last few days and I know how hard everyone is working to find a way forward. I will continue to help all parties in any way I can to find a workable solution to the club’s plight.
“I know how much Sheffield Wednesday means to the fans and the city itself and a successful long-term solution must now be found.”
Personally I'd be surprised if Clegg actually knows where Wednesday are in the table at the moment: but then, he may well have other things on his mind at present. However, it does seem to suggest that while he misjudged the public mood on tuition fees, he does still talk to people on the ground. The question is, would he get in for free at Hillsborough?
On a sports related note, David Cameron actually made some Premier League predictions on the BBC Sport website quite recently: it's worth watching for the last prediction alone. Liverpool 0-6 Aston Villa? Hahahahaha. Let's hope he's slightly better at predicting economic growth (it finished Liverpool 3-0 Aston Villa, in case you were wondering).
"We're not that bad, Prime Minister!" Thanks for reading,
