Did you check the exchange market? The exchange is usually the first giveaway that’s something’s gone on

Let’s have it right when you add up all the issues at the club currently, plus the pitch looking like shit and not a single kit being released prior to pre-season. I wish people would stop defending the club and see it for what it is. IT’S A PISS POOR OPERATION.

I’ll never forget the day Sylvan Ebanks-Blake was joining us, everything was done, posted it on here and then last minute we pulled the plug before signing the contract to bring in Kevin Phillips instead 🤣. Football is a strange business.

Disappointing if we don’t see Braybrooke tomorrow. There’s a danger he fizzles out here if he doesn’t start to push on.

Been told because the sponsorship issue hasn’t been sorted that’s why they’ve delayed information about the new kit. The photos were done with no sponsor and they planned to edit the photos once the sponsorship had been sorted out.

Its not technically a bleep test, there’s a controlled part of the SDS test where the S&C staff help set the initial pacing and then they drop out and the players then complete the final part of the test to maximal failure

Whoever comes in needs to utilise these youth players and give them a chance. Let’s be honest a lot of the senior players will be gone, whilst their is some turnover squad wise some of these young ones can put their foot in the door with the new gaffer.

The club have published a photo gallery from today. The photo of Soumare is priceless, that’s the look of a man who wishes he was anywhere else but it has dawned on him that you can only live off 1 good season (winning Ligue 1) for so long 🤣

**** me it’s not like the season starts in 6 weeks

The pitch looks ****ing dog shit at the KP 🧐

If I’m honest, out of the players you mentioned, I think the only one who might be here still is Bilal and that’s still unlikely for me. I can’t see Ndidi or Ricardo being here after the transfer window closes, it would depend on who came in but I don’t think Coulibaly for example is better than Justin.

Nelson and Okoli for me next season. People can say what they want but the team below playing Danny Rohl’s style of football is Top 3 at least. Jakub Justin Nelson Okoli Thomas Skipp Winks Fatawu Alves Mavididi Daka

Saved them from almost certain relegation in his first season and led a club that relied on free transfers and loans to 12th the season after despite the club being an absolute shit show off the field to the point where they were only partially paying players salaries and holding off payments to non-playing staff at times. Here’s what AI thinks of the job he did at Wednesday: When Danny Röhl was appointed on 13 October 2023, Wednesday were rooted in the relegation zone—ten points from safety after a woeful start under Xisco Muñoz. Stepping into his first senior managerial role, the 34-year-old German immediately steadied the ship: four wins in seven games earned him an EFL Championship Manager of the Month nomination in December 2023, and an 11-point haul from six matches in April 2024 lifted the Owls out of the drop zone en.wikipedia.org. He then secured survival on the final day with a 2–0 win over Sunderland, ensuring Championship football at Hillsborough for another season en.wikipedia.org. In his first full campaign (2024/25), Röhl oversaw a marked improvement in results and performances. Wednesday finished 12th with 58 points—comfortably clear of a relegation scrap—and he earned another Manager of the Month nod for December 2024 after guiding the team to 11 points from seven games, including comebacks against Derby County and Oxford United en.wikipedia.org. Beyond the numbers, the side’s playing style transformed: increased off-the-ball intensity, coherent pressing structures and better unit cohesion saw them go on unbeaten runs and compete more consistently at both ends of the pitch totalfootballanalysis.com. All this was achieved amid significant off-field turmoil. Wednesday operated under repeated EFL transfer embargoes, dealt with delayed wage payments and faced regulatory breaches under owner Dejphon Chansiri. Despite those constraints, Röhl managed to keep the squad motivated and competitive throughout both seasons talksport.com. Over 89 matches in charge, he recorded 34 wins, 19 draws and 36 losses—a win rate of roughly 38% and an average of 1.36 points per game. While not spectacular by raw percentages, that record must be viewed in light of the club’s precarious position on his arrival and the limited resources he had at his disposal fotmob.com. In summary, Danny Röhl did an excellent job at Sheffield Wednesday. He rescued them from a relegation battle in 2023/24, consolidated a stable mid-table finish in 2024/25, and instilled a clear tactical identity—all while navigating severe financial and regulatory headwinds. Given the context, few could have achieved more.

A lot of posters on here underestimate how he turned round a club that was free falling to relegation in the Championship and he completely turned Wednesday around to a point where they were comfortably away from relegation. He’s built on the initial turnaround that he gave the club and although it doesn’t look that impressive from the outside, when you actually delve deeper into how bad Wednesday are ran (even worse than we are as baffling as that may sound). He’s the clear choice for me.

That article from Percy goes a long way to showing that the manager whoever they could be isn’t the biggest issues at our club. Player’s sense of entitlement and pure incompetence higher up the ladder is holding us back.

How anyone can read this and not feel any sympathy for Ruud is beyond me. “It is understood he was stunned by some of the resistance he encountered from players over simple things like strength and conditioning.” That excerpt from the article to be quite honest is ****ing staggering and an appalling insight to the entitlement of some of our squad. SHIT SHOW.

For me the key point here is we need a manager that can build a team to play on the front foot and take the game to the opposition. The difference in quality between the Championship and the Premier League is now massive, we’ve all seen it. Our squad will be one of the strongest in the Championship despite their failings in the Prem. I have massive doubts that Dyche can manage our team in a way to get the best out of players that fundamentally want to control the ball and dictate the game. We need to approach this season like the season under Enzo and we need to recruit a manager that will do that.

I can when we are languishing in 10th place playing a rigid 4-4-2 with the likes of BDCR and Michael Keane playing over the likes of Jeremy Monga and Ben Nelson because the chances of Dyche putting any emphasis on utilising our promising youth are low.

If Sean Dyche gets the job. I’m on record to say he’s sacked before the end of the season.

Wednesday were one of the best teams we played in the Championship season under Enzo. Massive fan of Rohl. You don’t work for clubs like Leipzig and help coach the German national team unless you’ve got something about you. He would utilise a high paced, pressing style of football. I’d be over the moon if we brought him in.

23 is still young enough to turn your career around. KDH was older than Sid is now when he finally broke into our first team, he may still end up pissing his career up the wall through lack of focus but I’ve worked with a lot of footballers up close and Sid has got it all, he just needs to want it.

Sid is another case of all the talent in the world and not having the focus and discipline to utilise that talent. I’ve seen him up close and when he’s motivated he’s something else. Hopefully the past few years have been an eye opener for him on how football doesn’t owe you a living and he really started to turn the page last season in Portugal.

The bloke has 4 kids and is a massive family man. There’s no chance he moves his kids out of school etc, not to mention one of his lads has recently signed for Preston’s academy.

He won’t ship his family off to Scotland.

Cooper shouldn’t be brought up ever. The bloke had Ricardo and Fatawu fully fit and actively chose to leave them on the bench for large parts of his tenure. Absolute fool.
