Three-time promotion winner Jack Hunt on losing the 2016 Championship play-off final to Hull: “I can probably describe that as the ‘best worst’ day of my life. I made some amazing memories but unfortunately we fell short.” www.facebook.com/share/1JET4Z... #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
I’ve definitely not mentioned 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 for at least…a week? Maybe two? 😅 Some straight‑talking from Sam Hutchinson on the Chansiri era - and there's plenty more where that came from in the book. Limited copies at home. DM if you want a signed one for your summer jollies. #SWFC 🦉⚽️
Expecting Harry Gray to be the first of several loan signings #SWFC make this summer. Says a lot that Leeds have trusted Wednesday with the next stage of his development. Gray has got enormous potential and can play multiple positions. 🦉⚽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4jM...
Former #SWFC boss Carlos Carvalhal has been appointed FC Famalicao’s new head coach. Famalicao finished fifth in the Primeira Liga last season, narrowly missing out on qualification for European competitions. Go well Carlos. 😀
Barry Bannan has signed a one-year deal. Sporting director Simon Wilson has given his reaction to the transfer. #SWFC 🦉⚽️
Popped into Waterstones in Sheffield the other week to sign a fresh batch of 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦. Perfect summer reading for any Wednesdayite. If you fancy a signed copy delivered straight to you, just send me a DM. 📘☀️ #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
Sheffield Wednesday sporting director Simon Wilson has thanked Leeds for “trusting” #SWFC with the next phase of Harry Gray’s development. Leeds say they will be “closely” monitoring his progress. 🦉⚽️
Top afternoon in the centre of Sheffield celebrating a fantastic show with three of the best broadcasters in the business in Rob Staton, Andy Giddings and Adam Oxley. 👊

📅 On this day in 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣5️⃣, Carlos Carvalhal walked through the doors at Hillsborough, replacing Stuart Gray and becoming the first foreign boss in #SWFC history. Two-and-a-half years. Two play-off campaigns. A team that played with swagger, belief and heart. #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
Barry Bannan was asked at the @newbarracktavern.bsky.social how Henrik Pedersen’s playing style compared to Carlos Carvalhal. 🤔 If you don’t already, do follow the 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 FB page. www.facebook.com/share/1DAcYq... #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
Over 100 people packed into the @newbarracktavern.bsky.social last night. I’m incredibly grateful to Barry Bannan for his time and honesty, to Rob Staton for hosting with real class and to everyone who came along and supported the book. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Really encouraging to see Arise bringing ex-Wednesday players back into the fold. The previous owner didn’t look after the club’s former heroes. This new ownership clearly understands the importance of history and identity. This feels different. This feels right. #SWFC 🦉⚽️
Tom Lees on Glenn Loovens and Jose Semedo's impact under Carlos Carvalhal. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 is available to buy now from Vertical Editions. tinyurl.com/4me64wma Or DM me for a signed/personalised Father’s Day copy. 💙🤍📘 #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Received a lovely letter from Weston Park Cancer Charity thanking me for the £300 donation from 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 book sales. Proud to support a cause that means so much to so many. 💙🤍 #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
High quality match. Zheng prevails in three tight sets. She showed real grit after losing the opener. Her serve was key to turning that one around. 🎾
Nottingham Open. Maria Sakkari vs Zheng Qinwen. The sun is out. I’ve had worse Monday’s. 🎾

🆕 Date confirmed: My 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 event at @newbarracktavern.bsky.social will now take place on Thursday, June 25 at 7pm - with #SWFC great Barry Bannan joining me. It’s free entry, it’s not ticketed, and it should be a top night. #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️🍻
🚨 Thrilled to reveal that Barry Bannan will be the special guest at my 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 event at @newbarracktavern.bsky.social a week today. 📘🍻 Huge gratitude to Baz - a modern-day #SWFC legend - for giving up his time to spill a few Carlos‑era gems. Can’t wait for this. 🦉⚽️
2/2 Bringing Wallace on board would make a lot of sense. He gets #SWFC, loves the club and has a genuine connection with the fans. A big character with a sharp football brain - and exactly the type of figure Wednesday need as they reshape things this summer. 🦉⚽️
1/2 Understand Ross Wallace would be interested in the Under‑18s PDP manager role at #SWFC. The former Owls midfielder recently helped guide Burnley Women to the National League North title and has held coaching roles at Burnley and Fleetwood in recent years. 🦉⚽️
Guess where I’m rocking up a week on Thursday? Back at @newbarracktavern.bsky.social talking 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦. Stories, mischief, nostalgia… and maybe a surprise guest or two. 👀 Come for the football chat, stay for the pints. 😂 See you there. #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
Waterstones. Meadowhall. Carlos Had a Dream. 😍😍😍 #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️
🚨 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦. Perfect Father’s Day gift. Just saying 💙📘 🛒 Buy from Vertical Editions, Amazon, Waterstones - or drop me a DM if you’d like a signed copy. #SWFC #carloshadadream 🦉⚽️ tinyurl.com/4me64wma
