CLUB legend Barry Bannan has left Sheffield Wednesday with the Owls plunged into crisis.
The midfielder’s contract expired on June 30, bringing an end to his ten-year stint at Hillsborough.

Many more could follow him out of the exit door with Wednesday players able to hand in a 15-day notice period.
That is because the senior team have not been paid for a second month in a row, according to The Guardian.
Players will be able to terminate their contracts in 15 days time if they are not paid the money they are owed.
Manager Danny Rohl is also in discussions over his exit, with the German failing to show up for pre-season.
It is understood Under-21s players have received their June salaries, with the club offering an apology to first-team players who still have not been paid.
The club has pledged to pay them in full but did not specify when this would be.
Even if the players are paid within the 15-day period, the club could still face EFL sanctions.
The EFL could refer Wednesday to an independent commission and possible punishments include a transfer embargo, fine and points deduction.

Players have returned for pre-season training, which is being overseen by U21 boss Andy Holdsworth.
Rohl’s staff are also out of contract and are expected to leave.
Another club legend Liam Palmer has also seen his contract expire, along with Callum Paterson, Nathaniel Chalobah, Svante Ingelsson and Akin Famewo.
Fans have urged Wednesday boss Dejphon Chansiri and although he is open to a sale, offers from two US consortiums have been deemed insufficient.
