Wednesday in Sheffield Like so many other Championship teams, they will be entering another important summer transfer window after finishing in 2023–2024 in 20th position.
But with Wednesday having a lot of moving parts right now, the Owls’ summer may be a little more important than it is for other teams.
The team just revealed their retained list, and players like Di’Shon Bernard, Josh Windass, and Barry Bannan have yet to make a decision.
The Owls are also working to resolve Rohl’s situation; he and Chansiri have been in discussions, and more are reportedly planned now that Rohl has returned to the UK.
Regarding Rohl’s future, fans are undoubtedly quite concerned. Furthermore, Chansiri is under a lot of pressure to persuade Rohl to commit his long-term future to the team.
Rob Staton verdict on Danny Rohl and Dejphon Chansiri at Sheffield Wednesday
The main question, according to BBC analyst Staton, is Rohl’s future on Football Heaven.The chairman is under pressure because, in my opinion, he has received a lot of criticism recently—and rightfully so.
The Wednesday supporters will give him a lot of credit back in the bank if he now secures Wednesday’s future under this manager.
The reverse will be true, and there will be more detractors than ever, if Wednesday ends up having a summer similar to last summer.
Sheffield Wednesday facing make or break summer
Sheffield Wednesday’s summer appears to have two possible outcomes: great success or more misfortune.
Darren Moore left the team last summer, barely holding onto promotion from League One, and Xisco Munoz took over, leading to a disastrous and disorganised summer transfer window.
If Rohl abruptly retires this summer, the Owls will find themselves in the same situation as when Moore left, which will surely set them up for another dismal Championship season.
On the other hand, if Rohl stays, then names like Windass, Bannan, and possibly even Bernard will also remain. Additionally, should Rohl stay, the team will appeal to players far more than if he were to depart the transfer market.
After years of arguably bringing in anyone who’s willing to come, Rohl sticking in S6 will undoubtedly result in better players joining this summer; younger players around whom the club can finally start to build.
There’s pressure on Chansiri then to persuade Rohl to stay and give him space to do his thing this summer.
Staton also points out that the Sheffield Wednesday owner would become even less popular if he didn’t succeed in doing so.
