Expert View: Sheffield Wednesday need clarity over boss Danny Rohl

3 days ago | bbc.com | Rob Staton

Two things are quite clear - Sheffield Wednesday need a plan for the summer and next season and Danny Rohl is almost certainly not going to be part of that plan. Therefore, isn't it best for all concerned to get this situation sorted as soon as possible? It has been argued, not unfairly, that there is a compensation number attached to Rohl's contract that any potential suitor has to pay. It's Wednesday's prerogative to ask for every penny of it should they wish.
Sheffield Wednesday: Danny Rohl should be celebrated for Owls impact

When Danny Rohl spoke after the final game at Watford, it felt like a goodbye. As he reflected on his time at Sheffield Wednesday a lot of the comments were in the past tense. If it is the end, it's fitting the final game was at Vicarage Road where he took charge for the first time in October 2023. The truth is, without Rohl this game could have been 24 miles up the road at Stevenage instead.

Saturday's protest, organised by the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust, was the biggest in living memory at Hillsborough. For a fan base typically not inclined to speak out, this was noteworthy. A march began at the site where the club was founded near to the Crucible Theatre. By the time those involved reached Hillsborough Park across from the stadium, there was quite a scene.

Sheffield Wednesday: Expert View - Owls fans deserve clarity

The protest on Saturday, arranged by the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust, was the most participated in protest I can recall at Hillsborough. As noted a few times recently, this isn't a fan base with much appetite for protest. You're unlikely to see anything like you're witnessing at Spurs currently or Manchester United. However, this one apparently struck a chord.
Sheffield Wednesday: Expert View - Questions going unanswered

The Sheffield Wednesday players might have been finally paid today but the further reputational damage to the club will linger. This latest episode, along with controversial fans forums, late HMRC payments and other issues have definitely not gone unnoticed in football. With Southampton parting with Ivan Juric today, it feels like a matter of when not if they make a move for Owls boss Danny Rohl. They won't be the only interested party. It seems inevitable the club will lose its biggest asset.
BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton says patience is running out at Sheffield Wednesday

A growing number of fans are angry and demanding answers after it emerged that, not for the first time during Dejphon Chansiri's reign as Sheffield Wednesday owner, the players have not been paid on time. Many are asking why the club sells season tickets in an early-bird window before Christmas, yet in March, there isn't enough money to even pay wages? A statement claims it's down to "significant sums of money" being owed to Chansiri's other businesses, "impacting immediate cashflow".
