Danny Rohl on how Sheffield Wednesday fans are keeping him going through another miserable episode of the Hillsborough soap opera…
Sheffield Wednesday’s fanbase have kept Danny Rohl going through a difficult week of trying to maintain a Championship play-off push with professional footballers who have not been paid for their work.
Life at Hillsborough is rarely dull but whereas 32 years to the day before Rohl spoke to the media on Thursday Chris Waddle was scoring one of the great Wembley goals in a Steel City FA Cup semi-final win, in 2025 the games are less glamorous, the soap opera more depressing.
With titles and cups in the pre- and inter-war years, Wednesday’s greatness lies in their past, but at least thanks to Waddle and co following the 1991 League Cup, some is modern, not ancient, history.
If not the new norm, owner Dejphon Chansiri not paying staff – playing and non-playing – is certainly a familiar storyline, the “cashflow problems” excuse well worn.
It is, though, Rohl’s first bitter taste of it.

But he must be tiring of regular wrestles over transfer budgets and hints about facilities not befitting a club of Wednesday’s stature.
Rohl would probably not still be here were it not for his affection for the club’s supporters, and just as Chansiri underlined his low standing this week, so the fans further cemented their high one with him.
