<\/p>\n<p> Thu 31 July 2025 14:22, UK <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sheffield Wednesday are set to witness further player exits this summer amid the continued financial chaos overseen by Dejphon Chansiri.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After being told that their wages will likely be paid late for a third consecutive month, <a

their Championship opener<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Owls are set to take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on 10 August, but the squad\u2019s discontent continues to rise. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chansiri\u2019s severe financial mismanagement, former boss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/josh-windass-sheffield-wednesday-danny-rohl-exit-dejphon-chansiri-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danny Rohl has left Hillsborough<\/a> and has been replaced by his ex-assistant Henrik Pedersen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheffield Wednesday have also seen Josh Windass leave<\/a>, while former colleagues Djeidi Gassama and Michael Smith joined Rangers and Preston, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>But Barry Bannan\u2019s potential exit would be a particularly painful one, as he has been a top servant for the South Yorkshire side since 2015.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.co.uk\/sport\/football\/sheffield-wednesday\/middlesbrough-millwall-sheffield-wednesday-barry-bannan-5250462\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sheffield Star<\/a> [31 July], Bannan doesn\u2019t want to leave Hillsborough, but has attracted interest from Championship rivals Middlesbrough and Millwall.<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of Chansiri\u2019s failing ownership, the 35-year-old may not be possible, while both Boro and Millwall boast significantly greater financial stability than Sheffield Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bannan bombshell hands Pedersen further blow at Sheffield Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Football Insider verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

rel=\"noopener\">Rohl<\/a> in ordinary circumstances, the German would present himself as a tough act to follow in South Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p>Rohl is held in high regard by the Owls faithful thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Championship<\/a> survival exploits he oversaw in 2023\/24, before guiding Wednesday to a comfortable midtable spot last term.<\/p>\n<p>Pedersen is inheriting the 36-year-old\u2019s former seat in the Hillsborough dugout in extremely trying circumstances, which could even see his players rightfully refuse to fulfill their second-tier fixtures.<\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Barry Bannan stats<\/td>\n<td>Championship
