Former Sheffield Wednesday star Carlton Palmer has issued his verdict on talk of Danny Rohl remaining at Hillsborough in the long-term. Rohl has been a revelation for the Owls, arriving in October before going on to lead the club to safety despite taking over a team marooned in the Championship’s bottom two. Rohl has been linked with other Championship clubs who are looking for a manager, such as Hull City, who sacked Liam Rosenior on Tuesday in a surprise move, but there has since been news of...
Edward Rabjohn was convicted of racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress – words/writing after making a monkey gesture towards Coventry Kasey Palmer earlier this year, and as a result ‘will not be able to enter within a mile of Hillsborough Stadium or Sheffield Town Hall on matchdays or be able to travel to away games from four hours before and six hours after a game’. Today, at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court, Rabjohn pleaded guilty to racially abusing Palmer, and was...
Ugbo was a brilliant signing for Wednesday in the January transfer window, coming in to score some vital goals and put on a number of strong showings as they pulled off the great escape and managed to stay in the Championship. The 25-year-old hadn’t had the best of times at Cardiff City in his loan spell in the first half of the campaign, but quickly became a pivotal figure under Danny Röhl and was a popular player amongst the Wednesdayite fanbase. Now, with the final game of the season done -...
That doesn’t mean, however, that the retained list that so many fans are clamouring for is imminent – nor, though, does it mean that it isn’t. Clubs in the English Football League have until the third Saturday in May to let their players know their decisions, but there’s actually not obligation to make it public. Most teams do, of course, just as Wednesday do every year, and you’d think that they’ll be doing so over the next week players up and down the country start to look for the next steps...
Supporters of Sheffield Wednesday have been praised for a classy gesture during their recent match against Sunderland, as heartwarming efforts to turn one fan’s abhorrent actions into something positive continue. The Owls officially avoided relegation on Saturday (May 4, 2024), when a 2-0 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light secured their place in the Championship for another season. But there was a silver lining for fans of the Black Cats, after Sheffield Wednesday fans dug deep and...
The Wales international spent time out in the early part of the campaign under Danny Röhl’s predecessor Xisco, sitting out the entirety of September as he fell out of favour. It took him a while to rise to the fore at the start of the German’s reign also as he failed to start any of Röhl’s first five matches in charge. It feels like ancient history for a midfielder whose performances in midfield came to typify a chest-out final few months of the campaign that completed a historic survival...
A fan who racially abused Kasey Palmer during a Sheffield Wednesday match at Hillsborough has received a five-year football ban. 21-year-old Edward Rabjohn, of Sheffield, made racist gestures towards Coventry forward Mr Palmer who was collecting the ball for a throw in during a second half with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on January 20, 2024. Sheffield Magistrates’ Court heard how Rabjohn, who had drunk around six pints of beer before the game, was caught on broadcast cameras. After the...
Norwich City have sacked manager David Wagner following Thursday’s humiliating 4-0 Championship play-off defeat to Leeds United. The Canaries saw any hope of promotion to the Premier League crushed at Elland Road, with a rampant Leeds side putting them to the sword with three first-half goals before adding a fourth later on in the evening. Following the full-time whistle, those in the away end could be heard expressing their displeasure towards Wagner. The German has been under a constant state...
Oxford United have secured the final promotion spot up to the Championship next season after their 2-0 win over Bolton Wanderers in the League One play-offs final. After finishing fifth in the table with 77 points, the U’s qualified for the play-offs, where they faced first opponents Peterborough United. Oxford knocked out the Posh after a narrow 2-1 aggregate win across the two semi-final legs. Goals from Elliott Moore in the first leg at the Kassam Stadium, followed Cameron Brannagan’s penalty...
Sheffield United are Championship bound, though they still have some Premier League business to take care of. Big changes are expected in the Blades squad this summer, with Chris Wilder having already been vocal about the state of his squad. Wilder wants players who are committed to the cause, something he’s suggested has been missing from some of his players this season. While the squad will change significantly over the summer, we’ve taken a look at how the current value of the Blades squad...
Sheffield Wednesday’s survival in the Championship means the Steel City derby will return next season with Sheffield United’s relegation from the Premier League already confirmed. The fierce rivals last played in March 2019, as they played out a 0-0 draw at Hillsborough. The scoreline was the same when the two met at Bramall Lane in November 2018. Both clubs have played over 1,000 games in the second tier, with the Owls winning the title five times compared to just once for the Blades. United...
Sky Sports have confirmed a change to their coverage that will impact Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and their rivals next season. The Owls have secured their Championship status for next year after dodging the drop on the final day and putting together a superb run of form heading into that season finale. A dreadful start to the season almost cost Wednesday their spot in the Championship, but fans will be intrigued to see what can be achieved with Danny Rohl in the dugout for the full...
