For the fourth of the previous five months, Owls players were informed this week that they would not receive their paychecks on schedule.
The council has shuttered Hillsborough’s North Stand for safety grounds, and manager Danny Rohl left earlier this week.
This summer, a number of important players have already departed, including Djeidi Gassama, Michael Smith, Callum Paterson, and Josh Windass.
Barry Bannan, a club mainstay, is not eligible to participate because Wednesday is subject to a transfer embargo and his contract expired last month.
Owner Dejphon Chansiri has so far refused to change his £100 million valuation despite the chaos of Wednesday’s circumstances.
Players canceled a planned behind-closed-doors friendly at Burnley that was supposed to go tomorrow after learning they would not be paid on Friday as planned.
In just nine days, Wednesday will travel to Leicester to begin their season.
“There’s just a lot of uncertainty really,” forward Lowe told Sky Sports this morning outside the team’s training facility. We sort of find out at the same time as the fans and everyone else who is following the narrative.
Therefore, we occasionally learn about it if it’s on Twitter. However, nobody really knows what to do or when to expect things because no one has ever experienced this before.
“Everyone is in unfamiliar territory. As you mentioned, athletes aren’t getting paid on time, but many of the employees that work here or at the stadium on a daily basis are also not getting paid.
Therefore, it’s difficult for everyone. In difficult circumstances like these, when you just find out the day before payday if you’re getting paid or not, we give them more thought. It’s difficult for us.
Additionally, if you have things coming out, there isn’t enough time to organize all you need to. Nobody is aware. Everybody has a unique tale. It’s difficult.
“We haven’t spoken that far ahead yet,” Lowe continued, addressing rumors that Wednesday might even be able to play their match against Leicester next week. However, everyone fits. Since the season never ends for anyone, we have been putting in a lot of effort.
“They won’t sympathize with us and suggest that we should have pushed their games a few weeks before.
“Everyone is exerting every effort to stay in shape. I’m not sure what will happen after that, though.
