My man isn't lying, he's passing on what he knows - number 1 target is Rohl, we've held talks for ages, club was willing to pay release clause, pretty much done. Is it bombproof, evidently not, did anyone expect Rohl to still be in Sheffield at this point regardless of us having seen what's going on there with players handing in their notices, no, they didn't.

Unreal. It's just ridiculous if we are quibbling over a couple of Mill with the money we've spent on absolute garbage recently. This club is always, always looking to do everything on the utter cheap except when it comes to buying players and paying their ridiculous wages. 5

I’m very appreciative of the information you give mate, I don’t lose sleep over it. But let’s be honest with each other you have stated on multiple occasions the deal is done.  if I remember you also said you expected it to be announced within 48 hours at the beginning of the week because it was done….  My point is your tone is very different.

Vlad the Fox Posted 4 July 2025 Posted 4 July 2025 Apparently the club have told rohl he’s got to pay £10 to watch the match on foxes player tomorrow, rohl has told them to **** off and don’t contact him again.  4

Like I said, deal looked done, both us and Rohl want it and we were paying the fee. Expected an imminent announcement but clearly the Legal issues with Rohl and Wednesday are causing a delay - i don't know the ins and outs of those issues but nobody is expecting Rohl to still be on Sheffield Wednesday books at this point so there's clearly some sort of technicality which is causing everyone a nightmare. If Rohl gets out of his contract, he's here, its as simple as that. I think everyone would have assume it wouldn't be this hard to get him out of Sheffield, what else can I say. This is the now modern murky world of football - look at us and the BCGame shit - dodgy legal issues seems to be the thing now. 1

Pliskin Posted 4 July 2025 Posted 4 July 2025 Both Wilder and Dyche are ****ing shit. Don’t ever mention them again. 2
Popular Post SecretPro Posted 4 July 2025 Popular Post Posted 4 July 2025 At the end of the day, if we really wanted Dyche or Wilder they would already be here by now. 11
Pliskin Posted 4 July 2025 Posted 4 July 2025 We’re ****ing terrified of PSR. So we think we’re being clever by playing the long game to get a heap deal.  It tells you everything you need to know about us as a club at the moment. ****ing pathetic. It’s precisely why we’re in a ****ing mess. I was told about a week ago we had opened talks with Rohl. And yet here we are. Still no manager and the first pre season game this weekend…. ****ing pathetic. **** off Top, and sell up to someone with an ounce of leadership. 1

Fightforever Posted 5 July 2025 Posted 5 July 2025 A question for anyone itk. Â If you had to blame one person for the mess the club is in who would it be? Â I have a pitchfork ready.

This makes sense and agree that even I wasn't expecting Röhl to be still at Sheffield Wednesday at this point. It makes sense that there is radio silence and no movement on manager as we await the situation to be solved. I think it's their chairman being a twonk and difficult, not releasing him so our plans are distributed as well by taking so long.  I'm keeping the faith on this for now as if it was anyone else, we would have sorted it by now.  I just hope we don't have a wanting Röhl and then ending with Wilder situation as we get frustrated with Wednesday's owner. I'd be fuming if that happens.  Edit - and a proud moment for me....taking this thread to page 100. Edited 5 July 2025 by fox_favourite 2
