04/07/2024 Raymond 0

Stoke City is gearing up for a significant summer of roster changes and strategic transfer decisions to strengthen their position in the Championship. Under the leadership of new manager Steven Schumacher, the team is actively engaging in the transfer market. Schumacher, in his inaugural summer as the Potters boss, has already secured notable signings such as goalkeeper Viktor Johansson from Rotherham United, seasoned center-back Ben Gibson from Norwich City, and dynamic wing-back Eric Bocat from Sint-Truiden.

Several first-team players have exited the club as their contracts expired, signaling a period of transition for the squad. Among the notable departures, center-back Matthew Baker has permanently moved to Newport County following a compensation agreement between the clubs, and young goalkeeper Tommy Simkin has embarked on a season-long loan to Walsall, starting on June 2.

Sheffield Wednesday’s first away match of the 2024/25 season in the Carabao Cup is scheduled for August 14th against Hull City. This confirmation follows last week’s announcement of the Owls’ initial cup game, initially slated for the week of August 12th. With their Championship opener against Plymouth Argyle set for August 11th, the midweek clash was anticipated to be later than games involving Friday or Saturday fixtures.

The club has now detailed that the Carabao Cup match will commence at 7:45pm at the MKM Stadium. This announcement comes as Danny Röhl and his squad continue their preseason preparations, with additional matches against Alfreton Town and LaLiga side Leganes, as well as a potential trip to Germany, offering further opportunities to fine-tune their strategy.

Sheffield Wednesday: Josh Windass and Will Vaulks developments will not help Dejphon Chansiri – View

Sheffield Wednesday faces a pivotal summer after securing their Championship status. The Owls seemed set for an immediate return to League One following a disastrous start under Xisco Munoz. However, under Danny Rohl’s guidance, they managed a remarkable turnaround, finishing 20th and ensuring their survival. Fears of losing Rohl were alleviated when he signed a new long-term contract last month.

Rohl now focuses on rebuilding the squad, with loanees like James Beadle and Jeff Hendrick returning to their parent clubs, and several players, including Ciaran Brennan and George Byers, being released. Cameron Dawson, Liam Palmer, Dominic Iorfa, Di’Shon Bernard, Will Vaulks, Barry Bannan, and Josh Windass were offered new deals, but only Palmer and Bannan have committed so far. Dawson seeks regular first-team football elsewhere, and Vaulks has joined Oxford United, while Windass, amid interest from multiple clubs, is the latest to reject a new contract. These departures heighten scrutiny on owner Dejphon Chansiri as the club navigates this crucial period.

Danny Rohl, the highly sought-after manager of Sheffield Wednesday, has emerged as a potential target for Hull City in their search for a replacement for Liam Rosenior. Rohl’s successful tenure at Sheffield Wednesday, guiding the team to safety in the Championship, has garnered interest from both Hull City and Sunderland. While Tim Walter remains the frontrunner for the managerial position at Hull City, Rohl and former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper are also in contention. Despite interest from Sunderland, Rohl’s commitment to Sheffield Wednesday and positive discussions with club owner Dejphon Chansiri suggest a move to the Stadium of Light is unlikely.
