Market

Harrogate Town come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Sheffield Wednesday did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Jayden Danns will not be coming to Sheffield Wednesday

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Liverpool is saying, and nobody at Sheffield Wednesday is enjoying the guessing.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Sheffield Wednesday

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Michael Svoboda

Sheffield Wednesday asked and Brighton said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

One of our own: Michael Thompson joins the Sheffield Wednesday first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Michael Thompson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Sheffield Wednesday promote Christopher Clarke from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Christopher Clarke has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Sheffield Wednesday promote Alexander Brown from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alexander Brown has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Sheffield Wednesday come up short against Hull City

Hull City left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sheffield Wednesday

Rio Shipston and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief
