It’s not been the best of weeks for Sheffield Wednesday.
First came the appointment of one of football’s most hated women – Katrien Meire – as chief executive, closely followed by the Owls’ worst home league defeat in more than three years – delivered by relegation-threatened Burton Albion – and finally – or so it seemed – an offer by the club’s owner to refund the season tickets of any disgruntled supporters.
