He Will Slip Up” – Pierce Charles Issues Ominous Warning as James Beadle Saga Unfolds at Sheffield Wednesday

May 15, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With James Beadle unlikely to return to Hillsborough for a third loan spell, Sheffield Wednesday appear ready to put their faith in homegrown goalkeeper Pierce Charles. The 20-year-old impressed during the final stretch of the 2024/25 season, earning praise not just for his shot-stopping, but also for his calm distribution—a trait refined during his early days at Manchester City. Having already made his senior debut for Northern Ireland, Charles is emerging as a bright prospect, and many within the club see him as a potential long-term solution between the posts. However, fan pundit Patrick McKenna urges caution: “He’s a real asset, but we need to develop him properly. He will make mistakes—we have to support him through those moments if we want him to thrive.”

Sheffield Wednesday’s Hidden Core: The 16 Players Staying Next Season – and the Clock Ticking on Their Contracts

May 10, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sheffield Wednesday face a summer of significant change with just 16 first-team players contracted for the upcoming season, and six of them aged 21 or younger. The club is set for another major rebuilding job, with at least 16 players seeing their contracts expire, including Ryo Hatsuse, whose deal ends in June. The Owls currently lack the depth to field a full matchday squad without relying on their youth system, highlighting the urgent need for fresh signings.

Among the players confirmed for next season, Pierce Charles has committed to a long-term deal, while Di’Shon Bernard will remain until 2027. Veteran defender Dominic Iorfa has one year left, aiming to hit 200 club appearances. Max Lowe, a key figure in the squad, signed a two-year contract, and Yan Valery, who impressed in his first season, is contracted for three more years.

As the squad takes shape for the 2025/26 campaign, Sheffield Wednesday’s management, whether under Danny Röhl or a new head coach, will face a busy period of squad building and potential contract extensions.
