Hutch and Winnall to be released

 

The Owls can confirm that Paul Jones, Kieran Lee and Atdhe Nuhiu have signed short term contract extensions to the end of the current campaign.

 

The 2019/20 season was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and authorisation was granted for clubs to extend the contracts of players due to expire on 30 June.

 

Wednesday’s final scheduled game is against Middlesbrough on Wednesday 22 July.

 

Offers were made to Steven Fletcher, Fernando Forestieri and Morgan Fox, which were declined.

 

Sam Hutchinson and Sam Winnall will be released from the club upon the expiry of their contracts on 30 June.

 

Talks remain ongoing regarding loan extensions for Alessio Da Cruz, Jacob Murphy, Connor Wickham and Josh Windass.

 

David Bates will return to his parent club Hamburg at the end of June.

 

Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank all the departing players for their services and wish them well for the future.

As has been said them leaving for free is a joke. We wonder why this club is in such a financial mess. It’s decisions like not selling players when we had the chance. FF should have been sold a long time ago. 

Start of our current predicament was not getting fees for the mid to late 90's squad. Never recovered.

That doesn’t fit in with our Chairman’s mental “we are all family” policy of the past.

I would have liked Fletcher to stay, but can we really justify his wages in the current climate, Fox played well this season & towards the end of last season but has looked no better than League 1 standard for most of his time here. FF hasn't earned his wages for 3 years, good riddance.

Got to say mismanagement again. Failure to look further down the road and prepare. Just like new managers, top clubs always have other managers in mind and keep updating that. We wait till they are finally sacked and go "right what's available, out of a job" poor poor management I'm afraid.

Pretty much as expected after Saturday, especially after the Fletcher fiasco.
Was he really injured in training the week before? Was he injured after five minutes?

Guess we’ll never know but it’s a sad ending to his time here.
Only surprise is Nuhiu extending, but where’s he going to go to get the terms he’s enjoyed here .

And so we move on. Not a bad thing. We need a fresh start in a lot of ways.

 

Hopefully Monk may be thinking about a new job opportunity too.

 

Can’t get emotional over departures when performances on the pitch have been so disappointing of late.

 

A new start is going to be good forthe club. Younger legs, and players eager to succeed are what we need.
