| Took over on the back of Sean McCauley's brilliant start. Took Wednesday to within sight of a play off place then hit a barren period before another surge at the end again took Wednesday to within a smidge of a play off place. The start of 2007/8 was the worst in Wewdnesday's history. Brian Laws.  | |||
| Sean McAuley | October 19, 2006 | November 6, 2006 | |
Caretaker manager for a handful of managers, none of which were lost. Sean became Sheffield Wednesday’s Academy Manager in 2006, stepping up from his previous role as Assistant Manager for the Clubs 9–16s age groups. A vastly experienced professional, Sean’s 14-year career included spells at Man Utd, St Johnstone, Hartlepool Utd, Scunthorpe Utd and Rochdale. | |||
| Paul Sturrock | September 23, 2004 | October 19, 2006 | |
| Fondly remembered by most Wednesdaites, Sturrock lead Wednesday to promotion, and their only glimmer of light in a decade. The team then struggled and only avoided relegation with a good run at the end of the season. Appeared to suffer from a poor relationship with Chairman, Dave Allen, and after a poor start to the following season, was controversially sacked despite just signing a new 3 year contract.
