When AI thinks Sheffield Wednesday would next win a major trophy under James Bord's ownership | OneFootball

Football League World asked ChatGPT to predict when Sheffield Wednesday will next win a major trophy if James Bord completes his Owls takeover.

James Bord could be the man to take Sheffield Wednesday out of administration if his consortium complete their Owls takeover.

Wednesday are currently losing £1million a month thanks to their current situation, which was inflicted upon the South Yorkshire outfit by former owner Dejphon Chansiri.

The Owls' off-field struggles have heavily impacted their Championship campaign, as they have suffered over 20 defeats, accelerating the speed at which they are destined for relegation to League One.

Meanwhile, the ratification process of Bord's proposed takeover is being delayed, with the EFL establishing whether the purchase would be funded by gambling operations.

Sheffield Wednesday predicted to win next major trophy before 2040

Wednesday's future currently remains uncertain, while supporters wait to see if Bord's prospective takeover is given the green light by the EFL.

The American's consortium would then have to make key decisions, such as whether to keep Henrik Pedersen in the Hillsborough dugout, or to appoint a new manager.

Bord would also have to fund several signings in the upcoming summer transfer window, thanks to the alarming number of players who have left the Owls both last summer and this winter.

Meanwhile, Football League World asked ChatGPT when Wednesday can next expect to win a major trophy if Bord completes his takeover of the South Yorkshire outfit.

The AI tool predicted that the Owls could win a major trophy by 2038, and it would likely be either the FA Cup or EFL Cup.

ChatGPT outlined that the years between now and 20238 give the Hillsborough club time to win promotion back to the Championship and ultimately stabilise in the Premier League before vying for silverware.

The Owls faithful will be ecstatic if that prediction comes true, as the future of their club remains uncertain at present.

Wednesday last won a major trophy in 1991, when they lifted the EFL Cup under the stewardship of Ron Atkinson, who went on to manage Nottingham Forest before quitting management.

Sheffield Wednesday trophy prediction appears highly optimistic

Wednesday's supporters would love AI's prediction that their club could win a major trophy within the next 12 years to come true, as many fans have not seen their side lift silverware in their lifetime.

The South Yorkshire outfit's last major trophy before their aforementioned 1991 triumph came in 1935, when they were crowned FA Cup champions.

Meanwhile, the Owls were agonisingly beaten 2-1 by Arsenal in the 1993 EFL Cup final, as Gunners goals from Paul Merson and Steve Morrow came after John Harkes had opened the scoring for Wednesday.

For now, though, the Hillsborough faithful may believe that their side's next realistic chance of reaching Wembley could be an appearance in a League One play-off final following their upcoming Championship relegation.

Wednesday were previously successful in the third-tier play-off final in 2023, when Josh Windass' dramatic late winner saw his side defeat South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley 1-0 in North London.

Owls fans will hope for similar promotion-winning exploits soon, once Bord's prospective takeover is potentially ratified by the EFL.

Should the S6 club seal a Championship return in the relatively near future, ChatGPT's prediction of major silverware before 2040 could even come true, but it appears optimistic for now.
