Lee Hendrie has urged Sheffield Wednesday to resolve their issues behind the scenes quickly amid Akin Famewo\u2019s impending move to Hull City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been reported<\/a> by Hull Live that the Tigers are closing in on the 26-year-old as a free agent after he departed Hillsborough.<\/p>\n

The defender had his contract terminated, joining the likes of Josh Windass and Michael Smith in jumping ship from the Owls amid unpaid wages in three of the last four months.<\/p>\n

Famewo featured 13 times in the Championship last season for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> as Danny Rohl\u2019s side finished 12th in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n

Lee Hendrie makes Sheffield Wednesday plea<\/p>\n

\"Championship<\/p>\n

Hendrie has claimed that losing Famewo is another blow for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> going into the new Championship season.<\/p>\n

He believes the issues at the top of the club are now filtering down to the very bottom, and that the players need light at the end of the tunnel in order to buy into the future direction of the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing Akin Famewo to Hull would be a massive blow, there\u2019s no doubt,\u201d Hendrie exclusively<\/strong> told Football League World.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you weigh up this situation at Wednesday at the moment and the likes of Windass, Famewo, the list goes on of where they\u2019re at and what they\u2019re not doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just spells out massive danger, it really does.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe 8 best nicknames given to Sheffield Wednesday players by fans
\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

We looked at some of the best nicknames Sheffield Wednesday supporters have given their players over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s now filtering through to the squad of players that are saying they didn\u2019t want Danny Rohl there, didn\u2019t want him back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think all these problems are starting to come from the top down to the bottom now, and this is a problem, it really is.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re losing players, key players, and they\u2019re getting linked away, there\u2019s no doubt that they\u2019re going to be thinking better things, particularly when the club is in such a shamble state at the moment, it needs to be resolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt needs to be resolved quickly, so the players can buy into what they\u2019re going to do, and what they\u2019re going to be at.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this is why players are turning their head, and it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if this happens, but it\u2019d be a massive blow again for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>, which we keep talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday will get their new season underway on 10 August with a trip to face Leicester City.<\/p>\n

\"Josh<\/p>\n

Famewo departure is just the latest disaster at Sheffield Wednesday<\/p>\n

Losing Famewo on the face of it isn\u2019t a major issue given he wasn\u2019t that high up the pecking order to begin with.<\/p>\n

But the confluence of all these different factors behind the scenes means that his exit is another big blow to the team.<\/p>\n

Given their financial problems, they cannot afford for these players to leave the club for nothing, as it leaves the squad very thin going into the new campaign.<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday need a resolution to Dejphon Chansiri\u2019s ownership quickly, otherwise it could be a very long season for the Owls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lee Hendrie has urged Sheffield Wednesday to resolve their issues behind the scenes quickly amid Akin Famewo\u2019s impending…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-287387","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-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114907156697157901","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287387","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=287387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
