Danny Rohl's situation at Sheffield Wednesday could be affected by takeover collapse | OneFootball

Danny Rohl's future at Sheffield Wednesday is up in the air once again after the collapse of the club's proposed takeover.

Manager Danny Rohl's future at Sheffield Wednesday could reportedly be impacted by the collapse of the club's proposed takeover.

That's according to journalist Alan Nixon, who claims that there is fresh doubt over Rohl's future at Wednesday after owner Dejphon Chansiri was dealt a big blow in his attempts to sell the club.

It has been a nightmare summer for the Owls, and after failing to pay the wages of players and staff on time in May and June, the club and Chansiri were charged by the EFL, while they are also under three separate transfer embargoes and have been hit with a three-window transfer fee ban.

The overdue salaries of players and staff were finally paid on Tuesday, with the transfer fees from the £800,000 sale of Anthony Musaba to Samsunspor and Djeidi Gassama's £2.2 million move to Rangers believed to have provided Chansiri with the funds to resolve the situation, and that could now see one of Wednesday's transfer embargoes lifted.

However, after the revelation that the Owls' potential takeover has now fallen through, fears for the future of the club have resurfaced, and it seems Rohl's position could be affected by the news, just days after his surprise return to Hillsborough.

Doubt cast over Danny Rohl's Sheffield Wednesday future after takeover blow

After informing Wednesday of his desire to leave back in April, Rohl had been linked with a host of clubs over the summer, including Southampton, Middlesbrough, Leicester City, RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen, but his high release clause proved to be a problem for his suitors.

Having failed to secure a move away from the club, it was claimed last month that Rohl was in talks with the Owls over a potential exit package, and he did not oversee the first two weeks of pre-season training.

However, in an unexpected turn of events, Rohl opted to resume his role at Hillsborough, with the increasing confidence about an imminent takeover said to have been a key factor behind his decision, and he returned to the club's Middlewood Road training ground on Monday to hold clear-the-air talks with the Wednesday squad, who were reportedly unhappy about his sudden U-turn.

It was revealed last week that an offer from an unnamed party that was viewed as acceptable by Chansiri had been submitted, but The Star claim that any progress on that prospective takeover has now "completely stalled" and the deal is said to have "fallen by the wayside".

According to Nixon, Chansiri is believed to have been hopeful that his tenure as Owls owner was coming to an end last week, but after confidential details were leaked, including a non-disclosure agreement and details of the club's financial position, the takeover is now off.

It is unclear exactly which potential buyer Nixon is referring to, but US billionaire Tilman Fertitta, former Crystal Palace owner John Textor and Italian businessman Francesco Guardascione have all been linked with Wednesday in recent weeks, and despite the collapse of this deal, there is still thought to be plenty of interest in the club.

However, with Chansiri now back to square one in his search for a buyer, there could be big implications for the Owls, and player signings and sales are likely to be affected, while Rohl's future is now up in the air once again.

Sheffield Wednesday supporters could be set for further Danny Rohl frustration

After his attempts to leave the club over the summer, it is fair to say Rohl's decision to return split opinion among the Wednesday fan base, so many will be frustrated by the reports of fresh doubt over his future.

Chansiri was only able to pay May and June's wages after selling two of the Owls' key players, so the collapse of the prospective takeover could mean that further departures will be needed to help him meet his financial obligations, particularly with July's payday looming.

As FLW exclusively revealed, Wednesday have not appealed against the six players who have handed in their notices over unpaid wages, and they are now set to leave as free agents, which could deplete Rohl's already-thin squad even further.

With a relegation battle looking inevitable and more financial problems likely to be on the horizon if Chansiri is unable to find a buyer, Rohl will be reluctant to remain at Hillsborough under such circumstances, and he may already be regretting coming back to the club.
