Two groups have quit the Sheffield Wednesday Engagement Panel due to Dejphon Chansiri’s ‘refusal to engage’, and those that remain are contacting people like local MPs, the EFL, the FSA and the Independent Regulator. The crisis continues. #SWFC.

“If it’s on Twitter, that’s when we find out sometimes. No one has experienced this before, so nobody knows what to do, when to expect stuff. It’s all unknown territory.”. This, from Jamal Lowe, is the crux of it. Nobody has a fucking clue what’s going on.

Sheffield Wednesday forward Jamal Lowe has expressed his anguish at the ‘unstable’ conditions at the club as the crisis around Hillsborough continues to spiral.

In terms of seniority, this is the most experienced side that Sheffield Wednesday can currently put out next weekend…. Not a single player over 21 for the bench, and no guarantees that all of these starters will be available. #SWFC

I’m a writer, and I’m running out of words to describe what is currently going at Sheffield Wednesday. Clusterfuck is where I’m at today.
🚨Understand a number of Wednesday players expect to be able to leave S6 this month after being paid late yet again. As reported by @robstaton, Max Lowe among them. Anger and sadness in the changing room. Feel they have no option. Full story👇. #SWFC🦉.

Another day at the circus.
Understand Max Lowe has handed his notice in at Sheffield Wednesday. Belief is he will depart by the 15th August. #SWFC.

I’ve been asked to post this video by Tommy Craig, actor and lifelong #SWFC fan. A man deeply worried about his club, requesting Prince William’s attention. A slight slip of the tongue midway through, but it’s a heartfelt plea and he’s not alone in feeling like he does.

Like @SportGids1, I’ve been told that some #SWFC players have now been paid, as have the club’s teenage scholars…. It’s by no means a majority who have been paid, and it remains to be seen when everyone will get their wages. 🦉⚽️.

Some Sheffield Wednesday players have been paid, but not all of them, as the latest wage concerns roll on at Hillsborough.

“It’s an absolute disgrace, and a flagrant disregard for for an institution that - in tandem with another - has held a city together in so many ways.”. The latest episode of All Wednesday is up, and there’s plenty for @AlexMiller91 and discuss. ➡️ #SWFC

Understand that the EFL are considering withholding money from Sheffield Wednesday - TV money, for instance - in order to pay off some of the club’s debts. They have the power to do so as per Article 48 of their rules and regulations: #SWFC 🦉⚽️.

After they received communication yesterday from the club saying that salaries ‘will not be fulfilled’, I’m told that #SWFC’s scholars have now just been paid. Not sure if it’s a reactionary thing or was always the hope, but it’s good that they’ve got their money at least.

Had loads of people asking about Bannan and a possible player/coach role to circumnavigate the wage cap…. My understanding is that only player wages are capped, not staff, but would think it’d be highly unlikely the EFL would allow this sort of loophole. They’d just say no.
@YesWeCrann Any chance of circumventing the pay cap by employing him as a player/coach?. Bannan is integral to us having any chance. The young lads could learn a lot from him.

For those wondering, understand that Henrik Pedersen has signed a three-year agreement at Sheffield Wednesday…. Next job is to try and find a technical team and some players - none of which will be easy in #SWFC’s current climate.

#SWFC’s financial crisis is affecting players at every level of the club, now including academy scholars…. Players, aged 16-18, some expecting their first ever pay packets, have now been informed not to expect them on time. It’s only around £1000 a month.
