The club risks not being able to debut in the season
Sheffield Wednesday, one of the oldest clubs in all football, founded in 1867, is experiencing a deep administrative crisis. With salaries late over the past three months, the team risks not being able to debut in the championship, the English second division, next week.
Since May, the wages of the players have been delayed, which was repeated in June and July, with the payment not yet made. For this reason, the team has undergone financial penalties from EFL, an organ that commands the lower divisions in England.
According to the embargo, on Wednesday he can take players only as long as you don’t pay for transfers or loans and cannot have a cast that is greater than 23 “professional level” players. The penalty will be suspended only when all players receive complete payment.
The situation generated a great dissatisfaction between the cast and the technical staff, who made the owls cancel against the friendly against Burnley, who would have been played this weekend. In addition, the German coach Danny Rohl, largely responsible for the team’s stay in the championship in the last two seasons, has left the team in a friendly agreement.
Among the players, the situation is even worse, with Sheffield who has only 15 players in their cast and still forbidden to take players, paying for the transfer. Due to the situation, some of the main players left the club after their contracts have not been renewed, such as the attackers Josh Winas and Michael Smith, who went to Wrexham and Preston North End. While the French Djedi Gassama was negotiated with Scotland Rangers.
On the other hand, fans are very dissatisfied with the situation of the club and administration of the Thai owner Dejphon Chasiri. The agent wants to sell the club, but recently refused a proposal, claiming that he was below the amount he wanted to receive.
Chansirs bought the owls in 2015 for 37.7 million pounds with the promise to return to the Premier League, a competition that the club has not played since 2000. Since then, he has had an extremely troubled relationship with fans who want to start from the club.
In the midst of this, the game that will mark the premiere of Sheffield on Wednesday in the championship, against Leicester, which has been relegated by the Premier League, may not be marked. The teams should face them next Sunday (10), but the game can be canceled due to the situation in which the club lives.
