Sheff Weds crisis as ‘SIX stars hand in their notice’ after wages not paid and club ‘battle to avoid full-scale mutiny’

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY’s financial crisis deepened after six stars reportedly handed in notices over unpaid wages.

The Championship club are in crisis mode with owner Dejphon Chansiri refusing to inject any more cash into the coffers.

And unpaid players are raging after being left out of pocket for several months.

SunSport exclusively revealed how upset stars have asked the EFL to send them money, with Wednesday now banned from buying players until 2027.

Out-of-contract stars like Barry Bannan have also left Hillsborough after seeing their deals expire.

And now, the Telegraph claims that six players have handed in their notices over unpaid wages from May and June.

All squad members are able to hand in a 15-day notice period to terminate their contracts.

It’s currently unknown which six stars have decided to head down that route.

But with dissent growing, more could follow in the coming days as Wednesday “battle to avoid a full-scale mutiny.”

Even manager Danny Rohl has not turned up for pre-season, with the gaffer said to be nearing a severance deal.

Assistant boss Henrik Pedersen is in line to replace him, but only if he receives assurances over several details.

And elsewhere, clubs including Southampton and Norwich are still reportedly owed fees for deals dating back to 2022.


It now looks likely that Wednesday will be hit with a major points penalty for the new Championship season.

But whether Chansiri is still at the helm remains to be seen amid growing takeover interest.

An American consortium has already seen an offer of £48million turned down.

While former Crystal Palace chief John Textor is interested in making a bid.

Even former owner Milan Mandaric has jetted to Sheffield in a bid to save his old side from going under.

And for now, the future of Wednesday appears uncertain.
