Ex-player says what it would take for Danny Rohl to remain at Sheffield Wednesday this summer
The future of Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday has been called into question in the last few months.
Danny Rohl saved Sheffield Wednesday from relegation in 2023/24 before taking them to a midtable finish in 2024/25.
However, Rohl’s future with the Owls has been plunged heavily into doubt of late, in part due to the manager’s own comments.
Wednesday fans are not happy with the situation created by the German and the club, who have had their fair share of problems in the last few years.
Now, one former player has been discussing the potential exit of the former Bayern Munich coach.

What it would take for Danny Rohl to remain at Sheffield Wednesday
One of the main issues at the club in the last few years has been their owner.
But a potential Sheffield Wednesday takeover has now been mooted in the last week or so.
On this front, former Owl Chris Waddle has been discussing Rohl and whether he will remain at Hillsborough.
When doing so, he suggested that the only way the German could stay is if someone else buys the club and offers him a lot of money to spend on players.
He told Football League World: “So whoever goes in as manager, I’m sure Danny Rohl will leave regardless of what happens, unless somebody comes in and offers a lot of money to spend and has a desire to get into the Premier League. But I think he’ll leave whatever, and if somebody buys his clause out, I think he will go.
“And then he’s looking at probably Henrik [Pedersen], his assistant who could probably step in, knows the club now, knows the players. Very talented guy, you know – it’s not just about Danny – I think Henrik’s got a big part to play and I think the two of them have been very good.
“So, yeah, I would like to see probably you know, if Chansiri stays, I’m sure Danny Rohl does get bought out on his clause, I’m sure Henrik will be the next one in line, which is not bad, he knows the club and I’m sure he has players lined up.”

Which teams are looking at Danny Rohl
Rohl commented on his Sheffield Wednesday future last month, seeming to suggest the club already knew his plans.
Meanwhile, a number of teams have been linked with a move for the Owls boss.
Crystal Palace and Fulham are eyeing Rohl if they opt to change managers over the summer window.
Southampton were interested in the manager back in March as well, while links to Leicester City have emerged.
The major issue approaching Sheffield Wednesday if Danny Rohl continues tenure, his future is still unresolved
Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl is yet to move on from his post at the club, and it begs the question of what would happen if he were to remain in S6.
Sheffield Wednesday were led to a successful 12th placed finish in the 2024/25 Championship season, where they even managed to mount a minor play-off push under the stewardship of Danny Rohl.
Various off-the-pitch issues, including Dejphon Chansiri paying Sheffield Wednesday players late, eclipsed the positive season, and now the next issue continues to be Rohl’s unresolved future at the club.
Rohl has made comments to the German media about his future at Hillsborough Stadium, alluding that a new challenge is his most favoured pathway, although the coach is still under contract at Sheffield Wednesday.
Preparing for the upcoming season as soon as possible is of paramount importance to Sheffield Wednesday, and they might have to stick or twist with the German; if they did decide to stick by his side, it could throw up one issue.
