Everywhere and Nowhere - A Sheffield Wednesday Podcast

The Star Owls podcast is back ahead of the new season.

And there’s also a brief look ahead to the weekend’s Carabao Cup match against Huddersfield Town on what could be an emotional day for our Joe.

It's been one of those weeks for Sheffield Wednesday.

They discuss the latest on the hunt for a new manager and why clarity is needed on the situation plus how the final few days of the transfer market are likely to play out. The departure of advisor Erik Alonso is covered and this weekend's clash with Preston North End is previewed. And Alex forgets to do his prep for his usual later week game so throws an absolute stinker of a Name The XI at Joe and Liam, with predictable results.
