Sheffield Wednesday in trouble.

The financial crisis at Sheffield Wednesday is causing growing concern within the English Football League over whether the club will be able to play their opening game of the Sky Bet Championship season, it has been reported.

It is understood Wednesday players have refused to feature in a scheduled behind-closed-doors friendly against Burnley on Saturday after the club failed to pay their wages on time.

The Owls are currently under an EFL embargo for unpaid transfer fees and owner Dejphon Chansiri is trying to sell the cash-strapped club.

Wednesday appointed Henrik Pedersen as their new head coach on Thursday following the departure of Danny Rohl and, just hours later, Saturday's friendly was cancelled as players and coaching staff decided to boycott the match after not receiving July’s monthly salary on time.

Rohl left Hillsborough on Tuesday amid a chaotic summer which has seen the club placed under a number of embargoes because of financial issues.

Players were paid late in May and June, while this is the fourth time in the last five months that salaries have been delayed.

There is increasing concern within the EFL it is reported, over the escalating crisis at the club and that extends to whether Wednesday will be able to fulfil their opening Championship fixture at Leicester on 10 August.

Thai businessman Chansiri completed his takeover from previous owner Milan Mandaric in January 2015 for a reported €35million and the club twice went close to promotion to the Premier League when losing out in the 2016 and 2017 play-offs.

I feel sorry for most of their decent supporters but not the club. I was six rows behind the West Brom fan who collapsed and later died of a heart attack. The shockingly slow response from their paramedics/staff and subsequent white wash was disgusting. That end of the ground should be closed down and question whether the whole stadium is a death trap! I would never go back there again!

The prices they charge and the p rick of an owner is shambolic! No wonder many tuned into the girls football when you get this s hite!

Its sad when these old established clubs struggle, like us but worse. At least we have a plan and good owners to chisel away at the debt.
