And unpaid players are raging after being left out of pocket for several months.
SunSport exclusively revealed how upset stars have asked the EFL to send them money, with Wednesday now banned from buying players until 2027.
Out-of-contract stars like Barry Bannan have also left Hillsborough after seeing their deals expire.
And now, the Telegraph claims that six players have handed in their notices over unpaid wages from May and June.

All squad members are able to hand in a 15-day notice period to terminate their contracts.
It's currently unknown which six stars have decided to head down that route.
But with dissent growing, more could follow in the coming days as Wednesday 'battle to avoid a full-scale mutiny.'
Even manager Danny Rohl has not turned up for pre-season, with the gaffer said to be nearing a severance deal.

Assistant boss Henrik Pedersen is in line to replace him, but only if he receives assurances over several details.
And elsewhere, clubs including Southampton and Norwich are still reportedly owed fees for deals dating back to 2022.

It now looks likely that Wednesday will be hit with a major points penalty for the new Championship season.
But whether Chansiri is still at the helm remains to be seen amid growing takeover interest.
An American consortium has already seen an offer of £48million turned down.
While former Crystal Palace chief John Textor is interested in making a bid.
Even former owner Milan Mandaric has jetted to Sheffield in a bid to save his old side from going under.
And for now, the future of Wednesday appears uncertain.

What is EU's hand luggage ban and how will it affect Brits?
Here's what we know about the possible change and how it could affect those travelling to Europe from the UK. What does EU hand luggage fee ban mean for Brits? Travel agency has shared insights from James Spalding, UK Head of Aviation, on how this change could affect customers. Hand luggage policies are different for each airline (Image: Getty) Hand luggage policies are different depending on the airline you fly with meaning those who don't travel often need to brush up on the rules before going away. James Spalding said: 'If the EU introduces a standard size and removes fees for small cabin bags, it could bring greater consistency across the board. That means fewer unexpected charges and a simpler way to compare fares between airlines. 'That said, it's unlikely airlines will absorb the cost entirely. It may be built into the base fare instead. While that could mean slightly higher upfront prices, many travellers will welcome the added transparency - knowing exactly what's included in the ticket from the outset.' The BBC added: 'Under the new rule, travellers would be allowed to bring one cabin bag measuring up to 100cm on board their flight, as well as an under-the-seat personal item with a maximum size of 40x30x15cm at no additional cost. 'The proposed law still requires approval from 55% of EU member states, but if adopted following negotiations starting in July 2025, the new rules would extend to all flights within the EU, as well as routes to and from the EU.' Your rights if your flight is cancelled or delayed How will the EU hand luggage fee ban affect prices? James explained: 'Over recent years, many European carriers have introduced fares without hand luggage to offer more flexibility and competitive entry-level pricing. 'If that option is removed, airlines may explore other ways to offer choice — for example, by introducing or expanding 'priority' options for early boarding or guaranteed cabin space. 'Cabin storage is always limited, especially on full flights. We already see some airlines asking passengers to check bags at the gate when overhead lockers are full. 'If more passengers bring similar-sized bags onboard under a single rule, it could lead to more operational changes and a bigger focus on how baggage is managed at boarding.' Do I need travel insurance? How can you get a good deal if prices go up? If prices rise, James says 'comparison is key.' Using platforms like will mean travellers can compare prices and 'see what's included in their fare - from cabin bags and checked luggage to seat selection.' Use search filters so you can select your preferences when booking your holiday so you can 'avoid unexpected costs at checkout' and find the flights and holiday deals that suit you. Will UK airlines ban hand luggage fees? Since the UK operates outside the EU now, you might be wondering how this hand luggage fee change could affect you and your holiday. James said: 'That's an interesting one. If the UK doesn't adopt the same rule, there could be a bit of a mismatch - especially on flights between the UK and the EU - with different policies for the outbound and return legs. That might cause some confusion for passengers and create complexity for airlines. Your passport is your most important travel document - it's worth taking your time to get right! Before submitting your application check: - your photo meets all requirements - all personal details are correct - supporting documents are ready - payment details are accurate — His Majesty's Passport Office (@HM_Passport) June 16, 2025 'To simplify things, some carriers may choose to align their policies across both EU and UK routes, even if it's not a formal requirement. We'll have to wait and see how the industry responds.' What are the hand luggage sizes for Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet and more? Each airline has different allowances for hand luggage, here's what we know. Ryanair's website says: "All our fares include one small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you." easyJet says passengers can bring one small cabin bag: Maximum size 45 x 36 x 20cm (including any handles and wheels) Includes items like a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack and laptop bag, but please check dimensions Needs to fit under the seat in front of you Maximum weight 15kg. You need to be able to lift and carry the bag yourself Recommended reading: Jet2 says: "You can bring one piece of hand luggage onboard free of charge, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg and is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles." Here's what you're allowed to bring on board when flying with British Airways: 1 cabin bag, max. 23kg (51lbs), up to 56×45×25cm (22 x 18 x 10in) 1 handbag or laptop bag, max. 23kg (51lbs), up to 40×30×15cm (16 x 12 x 6in) Wizz Air allows two types of bags to be brought onboard, according to its website rules: Free carry-on bag Trolley bag (for WIZZ Priority holders) It allows everyone one small carry-on bag, which should be placed under the seat, maximum size: 40 x 30 x 20 cm, 10kg. Exceeding these dimensions will result in additional fees being charged. Passengers have the choice to upgrade their hand luggage allowance at an extra cost.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's powerful transfer tactic gets reintroduced at Wrexham
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's powerful transfer tactic gets reintroduced at Wrexham Wrexham's owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have been forced to step in again to help land key transfers as the club faces tougher competition in the Championship Phil Parkinson has asked Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to get on the phone to a Wrexham transfer target (Image:) Wrexham's Hollywood owners have had to revert to their old ways as they look to get transfer deals over the line. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney first bought Wrexham in February 2021 when the club was in the National League. The North Wales side's lowly position at the time meant the two actors sometimes had to intervene to persuade top players to drop down from higher divisions. Their key strategy involved making a personal phone call to Phil Parkinson's main targets to convince them that their ambitions for the club were real. The tactic was most notably used to secure the signing of star striker Paul Mullin from Cambridge United in July 2021. The Red Dragons have since achieved promotion in each of their last three seasons, taking them from non-league's top tier to the Championship. Club director Shaun Harvey said in May that Wrexham's success meant Reynolds and McElhenney were no longer required to step in, with players queuing up to join. Speaking to the Fearless in Devotion fan podcast, the former EFL chief executive said: "Rob and Ryan do speak to all of them, but it's usually afterwards. Famously, they did speak with Paul Mullin to tell him that they were serious. "When we were in the National League, they did need to become more involved to convince players that this wasn't just a scam. They don't need to get on a telephone call now to tell players that we're serious. Article continues below Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has asked the club's owners to help him get a transfer deal over the line (Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images ) "They can see that for themselves. The agents ring us now so we don't need to deploy them as much because of that." However, around three months on, and with Parkinson looking to assemble a squad capable of competing in the second tier, the manager has now revealed they have already put in a call to at least one potential recruit this summer. Speaking to New Zealand news outlet Stuff, he said: "We're looking to sign a player and we've got a lot of competition to get the signature. I spoke to Rob and Ryan about it so they put a call in to the player as well, explained the back story and why we wanted them."

Although the identity of the target was not disclosed, Wrexham have been linked with several big name stars this summer. They include Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy, Fulham captain Tom Cairney and ex-West Ham duo Aaron Cresswell and Danny Ings. Parkinson has so far made two signings during the current transfer window. Plymouth striker Ryan Hardie was the first arrival on June 16, followed by Leicester City goalkeeper Danny Ward on Tuesday. The manager's request for Reynolds and McElhenney's intervention follows Wrexham being warned they will find it tough to repeat their recent successes next season. The note of caution was sounded by football finance expert Kieran Maguire due to the existence of a number of billionaire club owners in the Championship. Sign up to our newsletter!

Speaking on the Second Tier podcast, Maguire said: "I think the big issue for them is that you are against some pretty senior citizens. You're up against clubs where the owners have been quite happy to put in £300,000 to £400,000 a week like Steve Gibson at Middlesbrough. "Even the likes of Preston and Milwall, they've been losing £1m a month. All of a sudden it becomes a completely different beast. Yes, they will be connected with some big names, but at the same time they're going to find it not as easy."

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 might be even rarer than expected
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Report Indicates Very Short First-Year Production Run Like its predecessors, the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has raised the bar for American performance cars. As if that didn't already guarantee future-collectible status, a new report claims first-year versions of the 1,064-horsepower super 'Vette will be even rarer than expected because Chevy simply can't build them fast enough. According to CorvetteBlogger, Chevy's model-year changeover from 2025 to 2026 is scheduled to take place on August 4. That gives the automaker a little over a month to build 2025 ZR1 models. General Motors has 310 orders for 2025 models in its system, but reportedly built just 65 cars since production started in April. Time Is Running Out Source: Chevrolet In addition to the slow production rate, the Bowling Green, Kentucky, plant that assembles all Corvettes is scheduled to shut down for a summer break between July 4 and July 14. That leaves just 15 work days to build more than 240 cars, a feat Chevy doesn't seem to think is possible. CorvetteBlogger claims to have obtained an email from the automaker to dealers stating that it cannot commit to building all remaining orders before the model-year changeover, and that any 2025 ZR1 orders that are at 3000 Status (meaning they have been accepted by production control) or below will need to be resubmitted as 2026 models. The report also cites data from Corvette enthusiast Roger Kiel, who independently tracks production of the current-generation C8 Corvette. Kiel's data show an average daily production rate of one or two ZR1s per day. At that rate, around 100 units are likely to be completed by the August 4 cutoff date.

You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. What's The Difference? Pushing back some orders to the 2026 model year will do more than cause some customers to lose out on first-year bragging rights. The 2026 model year brings a redesigned interior for all Corvette models, which replaces the controversial button wall on earlier cars with a tri-screen layout that handles most control functions. The price also increases by $7,200 over the 2025 ZR1, while the destination charge goes up by $100. The change will also create a longer queue for orders. One 2026 Corvette order cycle has already come and gone, but reportedly without any ZR1 allocations. So customers hoping to secure a build slot will have to wait for another round of orders, plus any that don't get completed as 2025 models. But given the potential of this high-performance Corvette, it should be worth the wait. About the Author Stephen Edelstein View Profile
