Sheffield Wednesday Players Consider Training Boycott After Another Late Payday

Repeated late wages under EFL scrutiny leave ownership unresolved.

Overview

  • Players were told September wages would not be paid on time, and they are considering refusing to train after the Birmingham match in protest.
  • An internal email said all staff would receive an initial £1,000 with the remaining salary to follow at an unspecified date, with an emergency fund available for urgent cases.
  • The latest delay is the fifth instance in seven months of wages not being paid in full or on schedule.
  • Manager Henrik Pedersen has said he will not accept his own pay until his support staff receive their full salaries.
  • The club remains under multiple transfer embargoes as the EFL urges owner Dejphon Chansiri to either fund obligations or sell, while FIFA rules allow contract termination after two unpaid months if formal notice is given.
