contract expiry

Barry Bannan’s future at Sheffield Wednesday hangs in the balance, with his contract set to expire this summer and no clear decision yet on a renewal. Despite his enduring quality and influence on the pitch, questions are mounting about how long the Owls can continue to rely on their 35-year-old captain. With manager Danny Rohl reportedly set to depart, any decisions regarding Bannan’s future may be delayed further. Supporters and pundits alike are urging the club to act swiftly—not only to secure Bannan’s services if possible, but to begin planning for life beyond the veteran midfielder, whose recent injury highlights the growing need for a long-term succession strategy.
