Is it fair to say, that if Wednesday don’t meet the definition of sleeping giants, few other English clubs do ? Outside of the Premier League, I can’t see much further than them and Derby ?

More like a dead giant. What Chansiri did to that club man😩

I think it’s worth to discuss Blackburn Rovers case. Three league trophies, almost 15 years out of the EPL and a miserable Championship campaign this season.

The funny thing about English football is that there are SO many clubs who could realistically consider themselves to be sleeping giants - seems like half of the EFL have had real peak spells over the years

Despite all their troubles, massive respect to their fans who continue to turn up in numbers at every game to support their club 👏👏

I think giant is probably a step too far when you factor in where others are

Definitely - sad to see what a horrid owner can do to such a prestigious club. The EFL need to have stronger checks in place to avoid this happening again 😡

They’re not a sleeping giant. They’re a club with a great fanbase and an iconic ground. I’d argue that there isn’t a single club outside of the top flight who are a sleeping giant in this current football climate

Maybe not sleeping giant but I’ve always found it a slight anomaly that a city like Bristol hasn’t ever really had a genuine powerhouse

Just don't get any Derby County fan started on attendances... #WorstTeamInHistory

Sheffield Wednesday most certainly aren’t a ‘sleeping giant’, their ground is more famous than the club itself…

matthew.johns4mo ago

They are definitely the biggest club in League One and one of the biggest in the EFL!

jameslloyd14.jl4mo ago

Massive club are Wednesday, certainly bigger than Derby! Hoping with the right ownership they can do a Sunderland and get back to the prem

Are they a sleeping ‘giant’? To me a giant is a club capable of being at the top of football, Villa were that, Forest are that right now. At what stage does a sleeping giant just become a club who used to be good🤔Wednesday haven’t been in the Premier League in my lifetime.

Huddersfield from their success in the 1920s and Preston given their success in late 1880s? Think Pompey too, only team south of the River Thames to win the league!

charlesjones4mo ago

‘Giant’ is a bit of a stretch. They’re bigger than where they are but they don’t belong at the very top. Villa, Newcastle, Leeds when they were down were sleeping giants.

Definitely a sleeping giant. Won more league titles than Tottenham 👀

george.patten4mo ago

Yep - Massive club ruined by horrible owners

dale.odonnell4mo ago

That’s more than fair
