Hopes are high for Sheffield Wednesday as they aim for a successful Championship campaign this season. After narrowly escaping relegation in the previous season thanks to Danny Rohl’s remarkable efforts, fans are optimistic about the team’s chances of moving up the table.
The buzz around Hillsborough hasn’t been this intense since Carlos Carvalhal’s tenure, which saw the Owls in the Championship play-offs for two consecutive seasons between 2015 and 2017. Owner Dejphon Chansiri’s significant investments during that time didn’t always pay off, with some high-profile signings failing to deliver.
One such example was Urby Emanuelson, whose arrival raised eyebrows among the supporters. Despite a decorated career with top clubs like Ajax and AC Milan, Emanuelson’s time at Wednesday was marred by injuries and lack of playing time. His lone appearance for the club was a lackluster one, and he was released at the end of the season.
Emanuelson’s brief and disappointing stint at Sheffield Wednesday will be a forgettable chapter in the club’s history. His big wages and minimal contribution on the pitch left a sour taste for fans, who had hoped for more from the experienced player.
