The famous English club "Sheffield Wednesday" is facing a deep crisis.
İdman.biz reports that this crisis threatens not only the team's start in the "Championship" in the 2025/26 season, but also the club's existence in general.
The club has not paid salaries for June and July - this is the fourth such incident in the last five months. Football players and employees have stated that they intend to terminate contracts in accordance with FIFA rules.
Due to salary delays, the team refused to hold a test match with "Burnley". The English Football League (EFL) has expressed concern about the situation in the club.
Team head coach Danny Röhl left his post by mutual agreement before the season started. His assistants also left the club with him. The team's helm was entrusted to 47-year-old Dane Henrik Pedersen.
The club is under a transfer ban - it is not possible to register new players due to debts to other clubs.
The City Council has closed the North Stand of the "Hillsborough" stadium due to serious problems - corrosion and cracks. The restoration of the tribune will cost the club a considerable amount.
Club owner Dejphon Chansiri values the club's assets at more than 100 million pounds, although the club has more than 4 million pounds in debt and players are not paid. This situation keeps potential investors away from "Sheffield Wednesday".
The club is experiencing a personnel crisis: many players, including leaders, have applied for termination of contracts. Only 11 football players remain in the main team.
Holding the "Sheffield Wednesday" - "Leicester" match scheduled for August 10 is in question due to numerous problems. Fans are holding mass protests against the actions of the club owner and unreasonably high subscription prices.
