Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 17, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 17, 2020 Quote Sheffield Wednesday: Professional Footballers' Association called in overpay issue The Professional Footballers' Association has been called in to offer advice after Sheffield Wednesday failed to pay its players on time. It is understood the Championship club's players only received a percentage of their November salaries. And they met with club officials on Wednesday to discuss the situation. The news comes at a difficult time for the Owls, who are bottom of the table after a six-point deduction and poor results under new boss Tony Pulis. Wednesday have collected three points in eight games under Pulis and are yet to win a match since he took charge on 13 November. They are now seven points adrift of safety, meaning they would still be in the relegation places even without the six-point deduction for breaching spending rules that were applied in November, which was in itself reduced from 12 points. However, while it is understood the EFL is yet to be officially notified of the situation, it does has the power to impose a transfer embargo if they deem it appropriate, which would potentially prevent Pulis bringing in new players during next month's transfer window. It is the second time this year there has been a problem with Wednesday players being paid their wages after some did not receive the full amount in June, although that issue was later resolved. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55351588 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Add on to this that Tony Pulis has had the worst start to a Sheffield Wednesday Managerial reign in history with three points in eight games. They could be in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N U F C Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Sad to see this happening to yet another club. Can't stand Pulis though so I sort of don't mind seeing it happen to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Wednesday are turning into such a joke club these days. It's one disaster after another from them. To think, the big chat they gave it when Chansri first went in taking over Mandaric and now, here we are, struggling to have two penny's to rub together, your two biggest rivals a division above them, and Tony fucking Pulis as your messiah. In some ways, I feel for the few decent Wednesday fans I know. Good honest lads who have stuck by their club in tough times. Realists. They don't deserve it. They are the one's I hope see the light at the end of the tunnel. But there are a lot of Wednesday fans who have disappeared into the woodwork since the club has gone nowhere because they can't hack it. Strange because they have always believed they had just as good a support as us, if not better. And here they are, literally struggling to pay players and survive in a league that's given them at least two beatable teams in Wycombe and Rotherham to finish above. It's times like these when you remember the laughs and piss taking at your expense down the years and simply relax and drink it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 United should probably do the same thing given their position on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
