Owls face fine over loan players

[domcassells]

Sheffield Wednesday could face a fine from the Football League for naming too many loan players in their squad for Saturday's match against Stoke City.

League rules state that only five loan players are allowed on each team sheet, but the Owls included six.

Franck Songo'o, Graham Kavanagh, Ben Sahar and Enoch Showunmi all played, whilst Bartosz Slusarski and Adam Bolder were unused substitutes.

Leeds were fined £2,000 for naming six loan players at Burnley last season.

i know at least one member on here who would be interested, you think that the wednesday need a new secretary :icon_redface:

i don't even think we've got a football secretary- kaven walker seems to do that role as part of his cheif exec duties............so yes, we need a new one

although- this will be admitted, with an argument made that it didn't affect the result as only 4 played and only 3 were on the field at any one time (plus the leeds excuse with injuries)

in the guardian it also says that there's a further rule allowing only 4 on the field, as we stayed at 3 then another argument that it was only a technicallity could be forthcoming
