Round-up: PFA blast Sheffield Wednesday, new Joe Skarz role in Rotherham United reshuffle and Bradford City transfer coup

The players’ union have criticised Sheffield Wednesday for “a lack of clear communication” as their members still wait to be paid in full for last month.

“When that does not happen, it has a significant impact on the professional and personal lives of players, staff and their families. The uncertainty it causes is made worse when there appears to be a lack of clear communication regarding the reason these issues are occurring, and when payments can be expected.

“Continued and ongoing delays to player and staff wages are unacceptable and need to be addressed without further delay.”

Joe Skarz will return to Rotherham United's academy, combining his role with being head coach of Golcar United. Manager Matt Hamshaw is working to add an assistant to his reshaped staff.

It is a coup as the Dons also won promotion – in their case via play-offs Neufville scored a vital goal in – with the 24-year-old voted player and players’ player of the year.

"His dynamism, power and end product will be a great asset for us as he showed last season in another promotion-winning team," said manager Graham Alexander. "We believe he also has plenty of growth in him as a young player.”
