🎧 How does this saga end for Sheffield Wednesday?
What is the future of Sheffield Wednesday?

"The biggest thing to point out right now is just the total lack of any clarity as to how this saga ends."
Those are the words of BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton, who, alongside co-host Andy Giddings, has been speaking with fans about the ongoing turmoil at Hillsborough under the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri.
Sheffield Wednesday's players and staff have yet to be paid their salaries for May, and the club was placed under a registration embargo by the EFL on Thursday for failing to do so - having also not paid wages on time in March.
"The players who are currently at the club will be wondering what on earth is going on," Staton said.
"They will be in disbelief. Would anybody really blame any of the Sheffield Wednesday players who are under contract from thinking they want to get out and go and play for somebody else?
"They may well be speaking to their agents and saying, 'Get me out of here, get me to a different club where I know I'm going to get paid on time, where there is a direction, there is a future.'
"You would not blame them for feeling that way."
Giddings agreed that players will have major concerns about the financial uncertainty and immediate future of the club.
He added: "They often discuss difficulties about recruitment and attractiveness to potential players, or indeed existing players who may have been offered contracts and are thinking, 'Well, I could sign that but is that contract going to be served fully">
