On the face of it, Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer deadline day didn’t look like a particularly busy one… A deep dive into how things played out at Hillsborough on September 1st. A story of frustration, and sacrifice and confusion. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

The latest episode of ‘All Wednesday’ is up, and this one features a chat with one of #SWFC’s greatest ever players, Chris Waddle, as he talks about another club legend - Barry Bannan. That, plus Leeds chatter and a general Alex Miller chinwag. ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEx8...

#SWFC are believed to be looking for an emergency goalkeeping solution amid concerns over Pierce Charles… They don’t currently have anyone available who would be deemed a ‘professional goalkeeper’ by the EFL, so could get an emergency loan. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

This isn’t about Dejphon Chansiri… www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Bit of half time reading for you... Understand #SWFC are closing in on the signing of Liam Cooper, who - if all goes well - will undergo a medical in the next couple of days. It’s hoped that there’ll be no issues with EFL registration. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

“We’ve made it clear to the club…” Today I’ve been sent a letter, written by the Sheffield Wednesday players, in which they talk of being ‘extremely concerned’ by the #SWFC’s current situation, and show solidarity with everyone - on the pitch or not. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

“When I told my daughter Elsie that I might be leaving she started crying… Then last night when I told her I was staying she started crying again. I asked her why and she said they are just happy tears.” Elsie Bannan is an Owl. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that the EFL are considering withholding money from Sheffield Wednesday - TV money, for instance - in order to pay off some of the club’s debts. They have the power to do so as per Article 48 of their rules and regulations: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Middlesbrough and Millwall are considering a move to sign #SWFC’s Barry Bannan, I’m told. Both are looking to take advantage of the current Wednesday chaos. Bannan doesn’t want to leave, he’s still training, but he’s in an impossible position. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... 🦉⚽️

Understand that Sheffield Wednesday have now finalised a deal that will see Henrik Pedersen take over as manager… There was interest in him from elsewhere in England and overseas this summer, but the Dane wanted to stay with #SWFC. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that Sheffield Wednesday are currently in the process of finalising the paperwork that will see Henrik Pedersen appointed as their new manager… Once that’s done he can start putting together a technical team. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Sheffield Wednesday are close to an agreement that would see Danny Röhl leave the Owls, I understand… Important caveat, as with everything #SWFC related at the moment, that nothing is finalised yet. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Delighted to confirm that our ‘All Wednesday’ show can now be watched on YouTube! From Lee Gregory and Graham Coughlan to Barry Bannan and Chris Powell. All our guests are there, and we’ll be bringing you new episodes every week ➡️ www.youtube.com/@AllWednesda...

Understand #SWFC U18s manager, Andy Sharp, is set to be promoted to the Head of Academy Coaching role after his side’s impressive end to last season… Jordan Broadbent will be taking over his previous position. Daral Pugh is leaving after almost a decade. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

A total of 21 players were seen in #SWFC’s latest behind-the-scenes look at training, with Danny Röhl watching on alongside Henrik Pedersen, Andy Holdsworth and Giles Coke... Here’s who all of them are: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Some very good news coming out of Hillsborough today, with The Star understanding that the bulk - if not all - of #SWFC’s players have now been paid… Includes currently contracted players and those who have left. Rob Staton saying non-playing staff, too. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that there could now be a bit of a scramble for Sheffield Wednesday… Know of interested buyers from the UK, America, and - most recently - a Monaco-based party. Led to believe Chansiri is open to selling. Could potentially move fast. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Led to believe that Turkish Super Lig outfit, Rizespor, are one of a number of clubs keeping tabs on #SWFC attacker, Anthony Musaba, and that Wednesday are open to the idea of selling the Dutchman this summer. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that Scottish giants, Rangers, are considering a move for #SWFC attacker, Djeidi Gassama. Other Championship clubs also interested in him as well. Led to believe he’s very happy at S6, and isn’t pushing for an exit - but he could still be sold. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

#SWFC are edging closer to further punishment that could see their transfer window fee restriction extended… They’ve already breached the EFL’s 30-day rule, and are now just 23 days from doing it again. No dates set yet for the independent commission. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri has now passed his medical at Manchester City, with the teenager’s move to #MCFC now subject only to Premier League approval. #SWFC are set to bring around £1m up front, with the full deal worth about £1.5m. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... 🦉⚽️

Callum Paterson, one of Sheffield Wednesday’s promotion heroes from 2023, has become a free agent after his contract expired. Understand an initial contract was rejected and no further contact has since been made. Another big blow for #SWFC. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

We’re expecting several #SWFC players to hand in their 15-day notice today amid the ongoing wages crisis at Hillsborough… Some may already have done so. It is unknown exactly how many players are intending to try and walk. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... 🦉⚽️

It’s payday at Sheffield Wednesday, and at the time of writing there are many players at the club who have not been paid for the month of June. Impossible to say all haven’t, but our investigation is yet to find one who has. Includes U21s, too. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Sheffield Wednesday and Danny Röhl are believed to be in discussions that would bring the saga over the manager's future to an end, The Star understands. Late night story with Alex Miller: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC 🦉⚽️

“We’re turnaround guys, we like a construction project. There’s nothing more exciting for me than the idea of buying a second division team and getting promoted.” Sheffield Wednesday could be the perfect club for what John Textor is looking for… www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Some new information has come to light regarding #SWFC’s transfer embargo… Understand the club are also limited in terms of how much they can offer in wages, too. Won’t be confirmed by the EFL, but led to believe it’s around £7k a week. More here: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Transfer embargo? Three-window fee restriction? Both at once? Had a lot of questions about how it all works now that #SWFC are officially embargoed and restricted… Hopefully this answers them: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that non-playing staff at #SWFC have now either been paid or are expected to have been by the end of the day… No word on players yet, they’re still unpaid as things stand. Embargo remains. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri is close to finalising his move from #SWFC to Manchester City… He’s now expected to complete a switch once he returns to the UK, and subject to a medical. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

The share value of the Thai Union Group has more than halved in the 10 years since Dejphon Chansiri took over #SWFC… A lengthy piece on how the club’s dire financial situation could be intrinsically linked to something completely non-football related. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

The latest as I have it on Caelan-Kole Cadmarteri is that #SWFC have now given permission for Man City to open up talks with him and his family. £1.5m-ish. The decision will be in the player’s hands. Nothing finalised yet, but it’s getting closer. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

I think I’ve covered everything I can regarding the embargo, 30-day breach and the current state of play across these pieces… Embargo: thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... New contracts: thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... New signings et al: thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Breaking: #SWFC are now officially under embargo regarding ‘Regulation 54.1 - Non-payment to Players’. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that #SWFC have had three bids worth in the region of £1.5m from Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton for Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri. Club opened to selling the talented teenager, want a substantial portion of payment up front. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... 🦉⚽️

Breaking: Sheffield Wednesday have been charged with ‘multiple breaches’ of EFL regulations, and Dejphon Chansiri himself has been charged as well. All in relation to the current unpaid wages debacle. They have 14 days to respond. Full details - www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Had some more clarity on what happens to #SWFC if/when they breach the 30-day rule, and - I think - it could be seen as *good* news… It’s not classed as an embargo, that’s for unpaid wages etc. What Wednesday will get is a ‘transfer fee ban’. More here: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

- Why #SWFC’s actual value is ‘probably’ £40/50m - Possible reasons for rejected offers - What administration would mean It’s a long one, this, so strap yourself in. Thanks to Kieran Maguire for his time on it: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Understand that an improved offer from a Florida-based consortium was submitted to buy Sheffield Wednesday, and has been turned down by Dejphon Chansiri. Unknown whether they’ll return with another offer. Club was contacted for comment. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Had some questions about Owls in the Park this year… It is going to be taking place. No definite date yet, but I’m told it’ll be towards the end of June. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... #SWFC

Understand that #SWFC’s Henrik Pedersen is being eyed up as part of Russell Martin’s technical team at Leicester City should the former Southampton boss get the Foxes job… There are also other clubs in Europe keen on him as well. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

“That will be the most difficult part for Bayern Munich, actually, to find a similar character who can come in and close that gap.” Spoke to Bastian Schweinsteiger about the end of the Thomas Müller era and Harry Kane’s impact in Germany. #FCBayern

Wrote a piece about Michael Ihiekwe, #SWFC’s Ronseal man who came to Hillsborough and did exactly what he was meant to do… 'Ronseal, it does exactly what it says on the tin’. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

10 more years, 10 more years… Understand that Barry Bannan is close to agreeing terms on a new deal at #SWFC that would see him stay at Hillsborough for a little while longer. It’d give him chance to reach 450 games for the club. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Our understanding is that there are options on the contracts of Josh Windass, Anthony Musaba, Pol Valentin and Michael Smith this summer - with this weekend being the deadline to exercise them. Last year’s #SWFC retained list was released on May 17th. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

We understand Dejphon Chansiri has rejected what #SWFC have called a ‘derisory’ offer from a US-based consortium said to be made up of ‘successful business people and professional athletes’. They’re not alone in their interest. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

“After three finals it was great to hold it in your hands, and to share it with teammates who you’ve known since you were like 15-years-old.” Bastian Schweinsteiger told he he used his penalty miss against Chelsea as fuel to the fire in search of the UCL. www.3addedminutes.com/competitions...

“We never took playing at Hillsborough for granted… We took it as an honour.” Had a lovely chat with promotion-winning former Owls goalkeeper, David Lucas, for this week’s edition of ‘All Wednesday’. Full episode here: www.shotstv.com/watch/vod/52... #SWFC

It’s not so simple, but #SWFC need to have an answer on Danny Röhl’s future as soon as physically possible… If there’s a deal to be done and he wants it, do the deal - get it sorted. If - and it’s a big if - he’s staying then confirm it. This cannot drag on into the summer.

Understand that #SWFC defender, Mackenzie Maltby, has been offered a new contract to remain at the club after an impressive season in his development. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...
