Midfielder signs deal despite club’s financial troubles
Daughter Elsie broke into tears at thought of move
The Sheffield Wednesday captain, Barry Bannan, has signed a new contract with the crisis-hit Championship club. The 35-year-old midfielder has been at Wednesday since 2015 and despite the expiration of his previous contract in June has been training with the first-team squad during pre-season.
Wednesday are under a transfer embargo and subject to EFL fee restrictions until the end of the summer window after a failure to pay transfer fees on time. There is concern whether they will be able to fulfil their opening fixture of the at Leicester next Sunday. A pre-season friendly against Burnley, scheduled to take place behind closed doors on Saturday, was cancelled after Wednesday players reportedly refused to play.
