Lee Hendrie believes that now is the ideal time for Dejphon Chansiri to sell his stake in Sheffield Wednesday, as the club’s potential is being held back by financial struggles and strained fan relations.

Speaking exclusively to *Football League World*, Hendrie highlighted the club’s rich history and the positive work done by manager Danny Rohl, suggesting that a change in ownership could propel Sheffield Wednesday to the next level. Despite Chansiri’s desire for a high price, Hendrie feels that the right owner with the proper drive could unlock the club’s true potential and help secure a brighter future.

Shock Rangers XI Revealed for St Mirren Clash: Bailey Rice Gets the Nod in Bold Attacking Overhaul

April 26, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With only five matches left and a manager set to depart, Rangers face a difficult end to the season. Motivation has been a struggle for the squad, and while pride is on the line, stringing together victories may only highlight the painful gap to Celtic, who remain comfortably ahead.

First up is a challenging trip to St Mirren, who have already beaten Rangers twice this season. Despite little left to play for in terms of European qualification, Stephen Robinson’s side is never an easy opponent, and a bruising encounter is expected.

Changes to the starting XI are anticipated. Jack Butland should return to goal to rebuild his confidence, while the 3-5-2 formation might be scrapped due to limited options in the full-back positions. In midfield, Bailey Rice deserves a run of games, alongside Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande. Up front, Vaclav Cerny should retain his spot, with Oscar Cortes given a chance to rediscover his form on the left. The decision between Hamza Igamane and Danilo for the central striker role is crucial, with Igamane showing promise as the season’s standout forward.

Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale is reportedly above Gunn on their shortlist, as the club looks to make ambitious moves to strengthen their squad. Meanwhile, a potential emotional return for Kalvin Phillips is gathering momentum, though financial hurdles remain.

While Sunderland’s current squad remains largely stable—with only four loan players expected to depart—the same cannot be said for some familiar faces elsewhere. Veterans like Jonny Evans, who once starred during loan spells at the Stadium of Light, and Lynden Gooch, a longtime servant of the club, are both facing uncertain futures. From Steven Fletcher, the Wear-Tyne derby hero, to Jack Colback, whose controversial switch to Newcastle still lingers in fans’ memories, a number of ex-Black Cats are set to be on the move once more.

Despite a much-needed 2-1 victory on Easter Monday, which ended a six-game winless streak, Charles admits the season could have been different if key moments had gone their way. “It’s been so frustrating,” he shared, reflecting on the team’s close calls, like the missed opportunity against Hull and the disappointing result at Cardiff.

Ferguson Revolution: Rangers on the Brink of Securing ‘One of the Best Managers in the World’ – Is This the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For?

April 25, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Barry Ferguson’s time at Rangers seems to be coming to an end, with speculation already turning to who might replace him in the summer. After a disappointing exit from the Europa League, Rangers have little to play for in the final fixtures of the season, as they are comfortably secure in second place, 15 points behind Celtic. The club is now focusing on the future, with the potential for one of football’s most successful managers to take charge when the new campaign begins in late July.

Meanwhile, Rangers are in “productive conversations” with an American consortium led by Paraag Marathe, aiming to inject much-needed capital into the club. With losses of £17.2m last year, investment is essential for the club’s long-term stability. Alongside this, the club has appointed Kevin Thelwell as head of football operations, signaling that behind-the-scenes changes are already underway. As part of this shift, there are growing rumors that José Mourinho could be in line to become the next Rangers manager. With a track record that includes multiple Champions League titles and league victories across four countries, Mourinho’s appointment would mark a major statement of intent from the new owners, offering Rangers the chance to elevate themselves to the next level.
