The Wednesday Week

It's been another busy week in S6 as the squad continues to take shape ahead of the new League One campaign.

We look at the departures of Svante Ingelsson and Olaf Kobacki, the arrival of highly-rated Aston Villa defender Sil Swinkels, and the growing speculation surrounding Pierce Charles' reported move to Manchester City. There's also plenty to discuss on the rumoured arrivals front, with Harry Gray seemingly on his way from Leeds United and fresh reports linking the Owls with a permanent move for Louie Barry.

Elsewhere, Barry Bannan has sent the fanbase into meltdown after appearing in training gear at St George's Park, while Joe Crann suggests both Bannan and Harry Gray deals are nearing completion.

Off the pitch, we discuss Sheffield Wednesday's return to Umbro, the changes taking place at the Megastore, the removal of the old club crest from the South Stand, and what it all says about the club's new direction. We also take a look at the latest fixture changes that have left some supporters less than impressed.

As always, we'll be giving our thoughts on the biggest talking points from another eventful week in the world of Sheffield Wednesday.

On this week's show, we reflect on an exciting week of signings, transfer rumours and fixture releases.

As preseason begins in earnest, the squad overhaul has begun with Liam Cooper, Max Lowe, Ricardo Santos, Jordi Liongola and Callum Slattery all signing deals that will see them plying their trade at Hillsborough next season.

Rumours continue to circulate as to who is next to feature in this season's seemingly RnB album-inspired photoshoot, with some exciting names continuing to be linked with the Arise revolution.

There's also the small matter of the League 1 fixtures being released, as well as the EFL Trophy and Carabao Cup draw. It's an age-old argument, but what do the guys think about a cup run in either competition this season?

All this and plenty more of the usual irreverent nonsense - get involved and share your own thoughts!

This week on The Wednesday Week, what started as a perfectly sensible discussion about Sheffield Wednesday's biggest Sliding Doors moments quickly descended into chaos.

The plan was simple: explore the butterfly effect of key moments in SWFC history. What if Wednesday had beaten Crystal Palace in 2010? What if Eric Cantona had signed for the Owls etc...

Unfortunately for Dan, the rest of the gang had other ideas.

What follows is a journey through key jangling, fan culture, football tribalism and a few long-held opinions that have apparently been bubbling away beneath the surface for years. With Stevie, Ash and Hollie expertly steering the conversation off a cliff, Dan finds himself saying things he probably intended to keep to himself.

As always, there's plenty of Sheffield Wednesday chat, plenty of laughs and more than a few moments that leave everyone wondering how on earth we ended up here.

If you're looking for a serious deep dive into Wednesday's Sliding Doors moments... don't worry, we'll try again next week.

🔥 HOT TOPICS! 🔥

No subject is off limits as the latest edition of Hot Topics sees the Wednesday Week panel take on another batch of listener questions from the Sheffield Wednesday community.

This week, we debate whether we'd rather see Sheffield Wednesday win League One or England lift the World Cup, choose between Barry Bannan and Jamie Vardy for next season, discuss the away days and fixtures we're most looking forward to, and offer our one piece of advice for Henrik Pedersen ahead of the new campaign.

Elsewhere, we tackle a footballing dilemma about Premier League survival versus silverware, decide which members of The Wednesday Week would make up Wednesday's management team if called upon, and settle the age-old pub debate: orderly queue at the bar or complete free-for-all?

As always, expect plenty of Sheffield Wednesday chat, fan debate, questionable opinions and the occasional descent into complete chaos.

Tonight on The Wednesday Week, we take a deep dive into the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust AGM and the hugely encouraging words from new CEO David Bruce as a new era begins at Hillsborough.

We discuss Bruce’s vision for the club, the state Sheffield Wednesday was left in behind the scenes, recruitment plans, fan culture, infrastructure issues and what supporters can realistically expect from the 2026/27 season under David Storch’s ownership.

We also tackle the biggest talking point to emerge from the AGM — the proposal for a Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust representative to join the club’s board. Is it a progressive step forward for fan representation in football, or does it risk compromising supporter independence?

Join Dan Fudge, Ash, Stevie and Charlie live as they analyse one of the most important weeks for Sheffield Wednesday in recent memory.

The 2025/26 season will not live long in the memory for Sheffield Wednesday supporters — unless, of course, you enjoy chaos, misery and complete dysfunction.

In this special season review episode of The Wednesday Week, Dan Fudge is joined by Ash, Stevie and Charlie to look back on a campaign filled with misfiring strikers, fan protests, off-field turmoil, managerial upheaval, and the staggering statistic of going an entire calendar year without a home league win.

From the disastrous summer buildup to another deeply frustrating finish, the panel analyse where it all went wrong for Sheffield Wednesday, the moments that defined the season, and whether there are any positives to salvage from such a turbulent year at Hillsborough.

With the club now entering a new era following the takeover by American millionaire David Storch, the team also look ahead to what comes next for SWFC after one of the most chaotic seasons in recent memory.

Join us as we unpick the misery, frustration, controversy and occasional comedy of another unforgettable campaign for Sheffield Wednesday.
