Crisis club Sheffield Wednesday missed out on huge Danny Rohl windfall before boss walked out
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY missed out on a Danny Rohl windfall weeks before his exit. German side Wolfsburg were willing to pay almost £1million compensation to bag him. 2 But owner Dejphon Chansiri wanted the full figure in boss Rohl's contract — which was more than double that sum. Rohl, 36, left the crisis club by mutual consent on Tuesday. Meanwhile, long-serving Liam Palmer, 33, will NOT hand in his notice despite the Owls ' current problems. And neither will skipper Barry Bannan, who has signed a new contract at Wednesday to keep his daughter happy. The midfielder, 35, was a free agent and claimed he turned down 'interest from elsewhere' to remain at Hillsborough for an 11th consecutive season. It was a surprising announcement given Wednesday's dire financial situation ahead of their opening Championship clash at Leicester on Sunday August 10. Under the ownership of Thai businessman Chansiri, there have been late payments to HMRC, transfer embargoes, multiple failures to pay the wages of players and staff members, and rising debts. They only have 15 first-team squad members and departed manager Rohl has been replaced by his Danish assistant Henrik Pedersen. Yet Bannan struck an optimistic note as he explained his reasons for staying in the blue-and-white half of the Steel City. The Scottish father-of-two, who has made 447 Wednesday appearances, revealed that his children are delighted he is not leaving. He said: 'Being out of contract, it was the first time that has happened to me in my career so it's been hard. 'Deep down inside I always knew what I wanted to do. 'At times it seemed like what I didn't want to do could happen but now I'm delighted to get it done and I can look forward. 'There's loads of reasons really. I've made it clear over the years my love for the club and the love I receive back. 'This club is a big part of me and my family, who are with me here as I'm signing. 'They will always stand by me with whatever decision I make and I've decided to stay. 'With the season getting closer, this last week has been tough because there was interest from elsewhere and I had a lot to think about. 'We had a lot of conversations as a family and when I told my daughter Elsie that I might be leaving she started crying. 'Then last night when I told her I was staying she started crying again. I asked her why and she said they are just happy tears.'

Doncic signs 3-year, $165 million contract extension with Lakers
LOS ANGELES, Aug 2 (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Lakers have signed five-time NBA All-Star guard Luka Doncic to a three-year, $165 million contract extension, securing the long-term future of one of basketball's brightest stars, the team announced on Saturday. "I just signed my extension with the Lakers," Doncic wrote in a social media post. "Excited to keep working to bring championships to LA and make Laker Nation proud. Grateful to the Lakers, my teammates and all the fans who've shown so much love since day one. This is just the beginning." Lakers President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka called it a "monumental moment" for the franchise. "Luka Doncic's future is with the Los Angeles Lakers," Pelinka said in a statement. "Luka is one of the game's most transcendent players, and his on-court dominance and passion is without compare." Doncic, 26, was acquired by Los Angeles in a blockbuster trade in February that sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks in a move that stunned the sports world. Since joining the Lakers, he has averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.6 steals over 28 games to close the regular season, helping lift the Lakers to the third seed in the Western Conference. The Slovenian guard, who was the third overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, boasts career averages of 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists across seven NBA seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and Lakers. Doncic, who has been selected five times to the All-NBA first team, led the league in scoring during the 2023-24 campaign with 33.9 points per game and recorded a career-high 73 points in a single contest. He ranks third all-time in regular season scoring average and has notched 82 career triple-doubles, fourth among active players.
