Sheffield Wednesday Six Players Hand Notice Over Unpaid Wages
Sheffield Wednesday is facing a severe financial crisis with six first-team players handing in their notice to terminate contracts due to unpaid wages for multiple months, according to FIFA regulations permitting contract termination after two consecutive months of non-payment. The club has failed to pay salaries on time for May and June, exacerbating tensions with players, staff, and fans, while also owing money to other clubs such as Southampton and Norwich City, which complicates potential Football League intervention. Manager Danny Rohl is reportedly negotiating a severance package and is expected to leave, with his assistant Henrik Pedersen potentially taking over if certain assurances are met. Owner Dejphon Chansiri remains in control despite fan opposition and controversial demands for a high deposit to discuss club sale, while the club faces transfer embargoes and restrictions on signing players for the next three windows. The ongoing financial instability threatens to derail Sheffield Wednesday’s preparations for the upcoming season and risks further player departures and sanctions, including an almost certain points deduction. The Professional Footballers’ Association has described the situation as "shocking" and "not tolerable," emphasizing the seriousness of the breaches and the club’s precarious position.
