"Every club has situations": Garry Monk explains payment issue at Sheffield Wednesday
and live on Freeview channel 276
It was reported on Tuesday evening that several Wednesday players had not received all the money owed to them, including some bonus fees.
The news follows a similar story in November that saw players paid late and while Monk admitted he did not know the exact circumstances around the short payment, he described a camp happy with the explanation offered to them by the club, who have been in communication with the players and staff throughout.

“We had a slight one earlier in the season but again the club have explained, there’s no worries with it, it’ll be there, it just needs a little bit more time to happen.
“Everyone in the camp is very, very happy with the explanation, it’s no issue for us. We don’t want to use that as an excuse, it’s not a distraction.”
“We had a conversation and I spoke to the players, they spoke to the club and we spoke all together,” he said.
