Sheffield Wednesday made the decision to part ways with Danny Rohl on Tuesday morning.
It comes after a summer of doubt, frustration and ultimately anger in South Yorkshire, with Danny Rohl sending supporters a message after leaving the club.
The North Stand at Hillsborough has been shut until further notice and with the Owls still under a transfer ban, supporters will be nervous ahead of the new Championship campaign.
Relegation looks a near-certainty for those in S6 and a new manager is needed, although it looks likely that Henrik Pedersen will take permanent charge of the team. However, Neil Warnock has spoken out on the plight of Sheffield Wednesday.
Neil Warnock says he would manage Sheffield Wednesday if given the chance
It’s been 16 months since Warnock was last the head coach of a club, with the legendary manager taking interim charge of Aberdeen in Scotland. Throughout his storied career, the 76-year-old has seen just about everything there is to see in football, and despite managing Sheffield United in the past, he would be open to the job at Sheffield Wednesday.

When asked if he’d take over the vacancy if offered, he said (via: talkSPORT): “Well, you’ve got to say yes. At my age? Deary me, but you never say never in anything.
“It is a good club, and it does need managing, really. I think they’ve not had the sustained success… I mean, the crowds are unbelievable and they’ve maintained that, whatever division they’ve gone down to.
“It’s sad to see some of the players leaving now because of their contractual situations, but it will bounce back, all good clubs bounce back.
“I was looking at the fixtures yesterday, I think it’s December, Sheffield United vs Wednesday, I was just looking at when I’m going to go and watch a game up there.”
Leadership is needed at Hillsborough
After a disastrous summer, it’s going to be a tough slog for Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship next season and Pedersen will be hoping to implement his own style on the team in the next few weeks and months.
While he has not been confirmed as the permanent manager, he will take interim charge and with just over a week to go until the Owls’ first Championship game, there’s not much time to dwell on the situation.

Warnock came close to managing Sheffield Wednesday in the past, but it looks as though his managerial days are now behind him.
Nevertheless, the South Yorkshire outfit will be keen to dismiss the outside noise in the next few days as their preparations step up for the 2025/26 campaign.
