No words from the chairman. It's more than two weeks since it emerged wages at Sheffield Wednesday hadn't been paid in full on time. One 59-word statement, including an apology, has been issued since. That was 13 days ago. Mercifully, the non-playing staff, coaches and some players have now received their wages. Some players, however, are still waiting. Meanwhile, by Tuesday, the club and owner Dejphon Chansiri have to respond to their EFL charges over payment delays.

Another week has passed and there's still no resolution to the situation involving unpaid wages at Sheffield Wednesday. Player and staff salaries were due in full on 30 May.

On Tuesday, Marvin Johnson posted a GIF of Mr Bean looking at his watch, days after Di'Shon Bernard used a famous Jose Mourinho meme to make a point on social media.

Academy star Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri is being linked with clubs like Manchester City. Wednesday could make it clear they're willing to negotiate on manager Danny Rohl's release clause, something they should have done weeks ago given what has since occurred at Hillsborough. However, there's something desperately sad about a club selling off assets simply to pay staff who are not on a lot of money and are understandably concerned about when they're going to get their wages in full.

I did the thing you're not supposed to do on Sunday. I went on an internet chat forum to gauge fan opinion. Forums, as with social media, are often a place to vent and let off steam. You can't judge the thoughts of an entire fan base off a few spicy comments online. However, it is at least worth having a glance to see what's being said sometimes – even if it makes for unpleasant viewing for yours truly and my esteemed colleagues from the world of local journalism.
