Championship club report for pre-season with manager nowhere to be seen as Premier League cult hero, 47, takes charge
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY boss Danny Rohl remains ABSENT from pre-season training amid the growing crisis at the club. The Championship side's second pre-season training session was taken by assistant manager Henrik Pedersen on Tuesday. 5 5 5 Despite all the turmoil, retired Danish footballer Pedersen, 47, signed a new contract to stay at the club on Monday. That renewal of his deal comes as Rohl is negotiating his exit from the club, amid a transfer embargo and financial issues. Rohl remains absent from the Owls' pre-season and is expected to depart the club this summer. SunSport exclusively revealed that hated owner Dejphon Chansiri demanded for Rohl to return to work as soon as possible. But the German boss, who has been linked with the Leicester City job, is said to be nearing a severance deal. But it seems assistant and former Bolton star Pedersen is happy to step up and take on more of a leadership role without him. Wednesday, who finished 12th last season, are in dire straits financially, and currently restricted by a triple transfer embargo due to unpaid player wages and HMRC bills. The club's financial crisis deepened after six stars reportedly handed in notices. 5 The club are in crisis mode with Chansiri refusing to inject any more cash into the coffers. And unpaid players are raging after being left out of pocket for several months. Sheffield Wednesday crisis deepens as players free to resign, club legend leaves and staff going months without pay SunSport exclusively revealed how upset stars have asked the EFL to send them money. Wednesday are now banned from buying players until 2027. The Telegraph claimed that six unnamed players have handed in their notices over unpaid wages from May and June. All squad members are able to hand in a 15-day notice period to terminate their contracts. Fans are desperate for the Thai businessman to sell the club and move on. One thing fans remember of Pedersen's time at Bolton is a 'peacock' goal celebration which became his trademark during his playing days. 5

Fresh ire at Wimbledon as electronic line calling malfunctions again
Wimbledon 's electronic line calling (ELC) system has malfunctioned again, this time during a quarter-final match between Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov, incorrectly calling a ball 'fault' mid-rally. The incident, which led to a replayed point and crowd jeers, is the latest in a series of contentious situations involving the new automated system. This year marks the first time ELC has fully replaced human line judges at Wimbledon, a move aimed at keeping pace with technological advancements in tennis. Another recent failure saw the ELC system miss an 'out' call in a different match, which Wimbledon later attributed to human error in the system's operation. Developed by Hawk-Eye, the ELC technology uses 18 cameras to track ball movement and provide automated calls, with players generally supporting its wider adoption.
