For Röhl it’s also something that he’s keen to sort out soon, telling The Star before the Sunderland game, “It is clear that the players and some people around want some answers on what happens in the future, for me it is also important that we have those answers as soon as possible.
“We should make the signals for the future to go in the right direction; extending contracts, make new contracts, try to buy some players who are at the moment not our players. This is a big job for immediately after the season, but for this I think I need some answers and you know what I mean. We keep going, I am positive. Let's have a look.”
A retained list will be due in the near future, explaining who is leaving, who is staying, and who the club are entering into renewal discussions with - but as things stand they will be working with a threadbare squad once more when they return for preseason.
Wednesday will be a Championship side, their amazing 2-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday confirmed that, and while the immediate thoughts of the manager were to celebrate their remarkable achievement, that will soon change to planning for the next step.
Here are 20 players that may well have played their last game for the Owls now that the 2023/24 campaign is officially at a close:
9. Kristian Pedersen
The Swansea City loanee only made a couple of appearances for the Owls before sustaining an injury that kept him out for several weeks. He's back, but hasn't featured much - his loan deal ends in the summer. | Steve Ellis
10. Will Vaulks
Another popular player hoping to extend his time at S6 is Vaulks. He said earlier in the season: "I think the club is in a position - and this is an assumption, I’ve not been told - where we’re unsure where we’re going to be at, but I personally haven’t had any contact from the club on the contract situation." | Steve Ellis
11. Jeff Hendrick
Was registered eventually but remained out of favour, Hendrick is on loan from Newcastle United and will return there at the end of the campaign. He's set to become a free agent, with his Toon deal also coming to its end. | Getty Images
12. Tyreeq Bakinson
On loan with League One Charlton Athletic, Bakinson's Wednesday deal is coming to an end in the summer - though The Star has reason to believe the club hold an extension. | Getty Images
