The Owls would have been prevented from paying a fee for any player until 2027 had they not satisfied their outstanding debts by the end of Monday. However, the club have now confirmed that the issue is resolved. Owner Dejphon Chansiri put the issues down to 'cashflow' but couldn't offer any guarantees of when the wages would be paid, in an interview on Friday night.
Manager Danny Rohl admitted that the difficult circumstances affected his players at the weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by a late header at home to Hull City.

"Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust acknowledges the recent development regarding the payment of players' wages but firmly believes that this does not address the broader issues facing the club.
"While we appreciate that the immediate crisis has been averted, we remain deeply concerned about the long-term stability and management of Sheffield Wednesday. "We and many others note a pattern here, are these crises genuine, or are they manufactured to create a dependency? "We are committed to working with other fan groups and wider agencies to advocate for a change in ownership that will bring sustainable and responsible leadership to our club. The trust and confidence of the fans have been repeatedly undermined by ongoing financial mismanagement, and we believe that new ownership is essential to restore stability and pride in Sheffield Wednesday.
"We urge all members of the Sheffield Wednesday community to continue supporting the players, coaching staff, and club employees, who have shown remarkable resilience during these challenging times. "Our combined efforts are directed towards ensuring a brighter future for the club, and we will not rest until meaningful changes are achieved." Rovers host Wednesday at Ewood Park on Tuesday night with both teams playing for very little.
