Sheffield Wednesday's new ownership has earned rare praise from former players after years of being ignored. The club, currently 24th in the Championship with just 2 wins from 46 games this season, has seen a shift in attitude towards its ex-stars under the current regime.
What changed for the ex-players?
Former Owls players have spoken out about the positive change in how they're treated by the current owners. After years of feeling neglected, ex-stars now report being invited back to the club and feeling valued. This marks a significant shift from previous management.
Why does this matter for Sheffield Wednesday?
The club's poor form this season (2W-12D-32L, 29 goals scored, 89 conceded) makes positive news rare. The owners' new approach could help rebuild morale and reconnect with the club's history. With 95 points separating them from leaders Coventry, any boost to morale is crucial.
What comes next?
The Owls face Bolton at home on August 8, 2026, in their next fixture. While on-field results remain a concern, the improved relationship with former players shows progress off the pitch. Fans hope this new approach will translate to better performances in the coming season.
