Arise Capital Partners LLC, the consortium led by David Storch, completed its acquisition of Sheffield Wednesday on 2 May 2026, according to BBC Sport. The group had been named the club’s preferred bidder in March. Although administrators called its proposal the strongest received in the renewed process, the available reporting does not establish that it was the highest offer by price or that Mike Ashley was the runner-up.
Who bought Sheffield Wednesday?
Arise Capital Partners LLC bought Sheffield Wednesday’s business and assets, including Hillsborough, according to transaction adviser Alvarez & Marsal, which advised on the deal. BBC Sport reported that the acquisition ended Dejphon Chansiri’s ownership.
Arise comprises David Storch, Michael Storch and Tom Costin. BBC Sport described Storch as having a background in aviation services. Storch said during the preferred-bidder period that “the fans will own the club, we will be the custodians”; that expressed his stated approach, not a confirmed legal supporter-ownership structure.
Was David Storch’s group the highest bidder?
The documented distinction is that Arise was the preferred bidder and ultimately the successful purchaser. On 10 March 2026, Sheffield Wednesday’s joint administrators said Arise had presented “the strongest proposal received following the renewed bidding process initiated last week.” They also said that proposal fell short of the amount needed to pay creditors 25p in the pound. That describes the administrators’ assessment of the proposal, not a published ranking of every bid by price.

#1 Best Overall
BBC Sport reported on 15 April 2026 that it understood the offer to be £20 million, equivalent in its estimate to about 6p in the pound for unsecured creditors. Those figures were BBC’s reporting, not official administrator figures. BBC also reported that Mike Ashley had made a bid, but the sources available do not establish the terms of every bidder’s offer or a complete price comparison. Ashley’s reported interest should not be treated as proof that he was the final runner-up.
What changed between the bid and the takeover?
10 March: Arise selected as preferred bidder
After the previous preferred bidder withdrew, the joint administrators selected Arise. Their announcement said the consortium had supplied a substantial deposit and evidence of funds, and had agreed to fund trading losses after eight weeks if the transaction had not completed. The administrators said the proposal was the strongest received in the renewed process but below the level required to return 25p in the pound to creditors.

15 April: a 15-point deduction was expected
Before the sale completed, BBC Sport reported that the EFL had told the preferred bidder a 15-point penalty would apply at the start of the next season. BBC’s account also gave the £20 million offer and estimated return to unsecured creditors described above. These were reports about the transaction while it was still pending, not the final outcome.
2 May: the acquisition completed and the penalty was not imposed
BBC Sport reported on 2 May 2026 that Arise had bought the club. After the exit from administration, the EFL did not impose the prospective 15-point deduction. BBC reported that budget restrictions would remain for two seasons, while Sheffield Wednesday could sign players. The adviser’s account of the transaction also says the EFL Board exercised discretion not to impose the deduction.

Did Sheffield Wednesday receive a 15-point deduction?
No. The EFL’s reported position before completion was that a 15-point deduction would apply, but BBC Sport and Alvarez & Marsal reported after the sale that it was not imposed. The two-season budget restrictions reported by BBC were a separate post-completion measure.
