Sheffield Wednesday captain expects Championship opener at Leicester to go ahead
Club owner Dejphon Chansiri is under pressure to sell Sheffield Wednesday (Martin Rickett/PA)
Asked if there was a prospect of players going on strike, Bannan, who on Saturday signed a new contract at Hillsborough, told talkSPORT: 'No, I don't think so.
'We pulled out of the Burnley game at the weekend, that was simply because it's happened too much now and I think it's a lot easier to pull put of a pre-season friendly game than it is a Championship fixture.
'We've come into training and just got on with it and made it look to the outside world like we're fine with it, so that was our choice then to say enough's enough really.'

Sheffield Wednesday fans to step up protests against owner Dejphon Chansiri
Fans have stepped up their calls for Chansiri to sell the cash-strapped Owls this summer after various embargoes were placed on them for tax debts, late payments to players and staff, plus money owed to rival clubs. The Owls sold out their allocation for last Sunday's opening game at Leicester, where fans delayed entry to their seats until five minutes after kick-off, while a plane trailing an anti-Chansiri banner over the stadium was chartered. 🟡⚫️ Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City – Protest Action 🟡⚫️ Wednesday fans — and the wider football community — know our club is fighting for its survival under owner Dejphon Chansiri. After the incredible show of unity away at Leicester, it's time to take a stand at home. ⸻… — Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust (@SWFCTrust) August 12, 2025 The Trust said: 'Wednesday fans – and the wider football community – know our club is fighting for its survival under owner Dejphon Chansiri. 'After the incredible show of unity away at Leicester, it's time to take a stand at home.' On Saturday at Hillsborough, fans will take part in a 'symbolic funeral procession' for the club and protesters who currently refuse to buy tickets and merchandise will gather in Hillsborough Park. 'This is about individual choice, in the ground or outside,' the Trust said. 'We are all Wednesday. Please respect each other's views, and let's stick together in this fight. 'The Trust is aware that supporters are organising a whistle protest. While this has not been arranged by the Trust, we recognise that many fans are feeling angry at this time, and we fully respect the right to protest provided it is done safely and within the law. 'If you choose to take part, please limit whistle use to the first five minutes of the game. This will ensure the protest is clearly seen and heard, while avoiding disruption – such as match abandonment – that could lead to the club being punished.' The Trust added: 'Whether you march, remain in the park, or protest in the stands – we are all part of the same fight. 'Together, we can show the nation that we will not let our club die.'
