Prospective new Sheffield Wednesday owner John Textor has provided an update on the club's takeover situation. The Owls are known to be up for sale, but current chairman Dejphon Chansiri is refusing to budge on his highly inflated asking price, which has resulted in a disastrous campaign so far at Hillsborough. Former manager Danny Rohl left the club along with a whole host of first-team players in the summer, with Wednesday's youth players having been asked to step in, given their ongoing transfer embargo.

Crisis club Sheffield Wednesday have told their players they will not be paid on time this month with Tuesday's pay day for September's wages set to be missed. BBC Radio Sheffield reports that the club's hierarchy have informed the playing staff of the situation, with a decision about the salaries of non-playing staff yet to be confirmed. Failure to pay players or staff will result in further sanction from the English Football League (EFL),

Bristol City's first-half blitz saw them move up to third in the Championship table with a 3-0 victory over struggling Sheffield Wednesday. Bristol started on the front foot and benefitted from a sixth-minute Harry Amass own goal, as the debutant deflected Rob Dickie's strike past Ethan Horvath from close range. Emil Riis should have made it 2-0 shortly after, but did get Bristol's second goal just 12 minutes later, meeting Anis Mehmeti's lovely ball through the goalkeeper's legs.

Grimsby's reward for toppling Manchester United in the Carabao Cup is a third-round trip to crisis club Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday expressed hope to open the North Stand for the first home game against Stoke City on 16 August, pending structural assessments.

In April 1991, John Sheridan scored the winner for Sheffield Wednesday against Manchester United in the League Cup final, and that 1-0 victory was an even bigger shock than you might think: to this day it's the last time a club playing outside the top division of English football won a major trophy.

The situation at Sheffield Wednesday has escalated into a critical crisis, with delayed payments, players and staff not being paid, and the club under multiple EFL embargoes.

Maheta Molango described the situation at Sheffield Wednesday as shocking and indicated that players and staff weren't paid on time or in full for the past two months.
