Unease behind the scenes at how Sheffield Wednesday wage payment failure has been handled

Sheffield Wednesday confirmed on Monday evening that they had failed to pay their players on time for the month of March.

Concern around the financial situation at Sheffield Wednesday continues after the club confirmed this week that player wages for the month of March had not been made on time, with The Star also of the understanding that at least some backroom staff and non-footballing staff have also seen their wage payments missed. It’s believed many staff have received their March wages, with payments going through as normal.

Conversations had by The Star with sources with knowledge of the situation have revealed that many of those impacted received no prior warning given ahead of the payment failure and ahead of the statement released to the public on Monday evening, with some describing an ongoing feeling of major dissatisfaction not only at the situation, but around a lack of communication and how it has been handled in-house.

As of lunchtime on Wednesday, payments are not believed to have been made, with the Owls facing a two-day grace period to correct the situation before being named as under a registration embargo via the EFL’s Embargo Reporting service. The club had a two-day deadline in which to report the payment failure to the EFL.
