Sheffield Wednesday - Video Review of Owls' 2025-26 Championship season

IT proved a memorable 2025-26 Championship season for Sheffield Wednesday but, for the most part, for all the wrong reasons.

Pre-season off-field issues surrounding owner Dejphon Chansiri ensured the team – under Henrik Pedersen following Danny Rohl’s protracted exit from Hillsborough – were up against it before a ball was even kicked.

Transfer embargoes related to staff not being paid by Chansiri on several occasions severely hampered the Owls, as did the subsequent points deductions that were imposed.

Relegation was inevitable but, despite returning to League One having finished on zero points and with just two wins to their name all season, there was hope come the final home game of the season against West Bromwich Albion when new owner David Storch was – finally – unveiled to a packed and partying Hillsborough.
