There was more than a hint of an emotional farewell when the veteran midfielder exited the pitch against Birmingham. It's far from an ideal situation but one the people tasked with keeping the club running have to contend with. Any add-ons attached to a transfer go towards the club after administration, not the administration estate. In just over 10 days that stops being a possibility for Sheffield Wednesday when the window shuts. It appears to be a classic case of covering all bases - hoping for the best but planning for the worst.
