Sheffield Wednesday will prepare to say goodbye to six key players for nothing in the next 24 hours, unless something drastic changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday have been hit with a double embargo<\/a> and are in complete turmoil off the pitch as Danny Rohl has also told players he will leave the Owls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kieran Maguire\u2019s forecast suggests things won\u2019t get better for Wednesday<\/a> and there are genuine fears that players and staff won\u2019t receive their June salaries.<\/p>\n

As we reach the final day of June, that means some players will officially be out of contract as of midnight, and six of those are set to leave Hillsborough.<\/p>\n

A short-term signing after joining in January, Stuart Armstrong is set to leave the club and is reportedly going to remain in the Championship<\/a> after being linked with Wrexham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old was a semi-regular under Rohl<\/a>, making 11 appearances but it was never going to be a long-term solution and now he will be one of those to leave the club and move on elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Akin Famewo <\/p>\n

One of the many players who didn\u2019t return to pre-season training last week, all signs point towards Akin Famewo moving on to pastures new.<\/p>\n

Famewo spent a large period of last season on the sidelines with a muscle injury meaning that his game time was significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

Before that, Famewo had a role to play in the side and at the age of 26, is entering his prime and will be able to pick up a new club easily.<\/p>\n

Another one of the players who wasn\u2019t spotted back in pre-season training with Wednesday<\/a>, the versatile Callum Paterson also looks like he will be moving on.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old has spent the majority of his time in Yorkshire playing as a forward and the 30-year-old could be seen as a shrewd pick-up for any clubs in the lower depths of the Championship and maybe some League One<\/a> teams too.<\/p>\n

Paterson has been at the club for the best part of five years now, however, it seems that they are both set to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n

Barry Bannan<\/p>\n

The one that could hurt Wednesday most. Barry Bannan has been with the club through thick and thin, staying when he could\u2019ve easily left.<\/p>\n

Bannan is set to become a free agent like the others on the list but was at the club\u2019s training ground for pre-season, giving supporters some hope that he may stick around and sign a new contract after all.<\/p>\n

Like Armstrong though, the former Scotland international could be heading to Wales to join Wrexham.<\/p>\n

If he is to leave, this is the one that would hurt the Owls most.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Liam Palmer<\/p>\n

Liam Palmer came through the Sheffield Wednesday academy and like Bannan, loves the club with all of his heart.<\/p>\n

Palmer is still a regular, even at the age of 33 and to not see him wearing the blue and white shirt will look very odd.<\/p>\n

Wednesday need players like this to help bed new players into the club, as well as teach them the philosophy of what it means to play for the club.<\/p>\n

Marvin Johnson <\/p>\n

Last on the list is Marvin Johnson. This departure, like Armstrong, feels like it was inevitable \u2013 despite making over 40 appearances.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old left-back has already been confirmed as one of the players who will leave Hillsborough this summer and will no doubt not be short of options when it comes to a move.<\/p>\n

League One clubs could be interested in his services or a return to Scotland could be an option too.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheffield Wednesday will prepare to say goodbye to six key players for nothing in the next 24 hours,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,21069,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-226414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-sheffield","12":"tag-sheffield-wednesday","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114771913987014693","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
