Overview

• Sheffield Wednesday failed to pay June wages on time for the third time in 2025, prompting six first-team players to serve written notices under FIFA regulations.
• Under FIFA rules any player unpaid for two consecutive months can terminate their contract with a 15-day notice while the club retains the option to settle outstanding salaries.
• The EFL will pursue disciplinary action through an independent commission with potential penalties including extended transfer embargoes, fines and points deductions.
• Manager Danny Röhl and his coaching staff saw their contracts expire on July 1 and are preparing to leave as owner Dejphon Chansiri continues efforts to sell the club.
• The club remains barred from paying transfer fees until January 2027 due to previous late payments and HMRC defaults, intensifying concerns over its financial and operational stability.
