Well, thank goodness for Football Manager - the management sim pretty much designed for situations like this. Batten down the hatches, stick the kettle on, and have a go at some of these Sheffield Wednesday-themed Football Manager challenges.
1. Get Owls promoted within two seasons
One season might be a push, given the major overhaul you'll need to put into place. Four transfer windows is ample time to build your side, and get them up into the Premier League for the 2021/22 season. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) Photo: Gareth Copley
2. Develop Alex Hunt and Osaze Urhoghide into cash cows
Barring a takeover, your resources will be limited, and using the youth will be a must. With the right guidance, these young whippersnappers have what it takes to be top players - get 'em trained up and flocked for a high fee. (Photo by Nigel Roddis/Getty Images) Photo: Nigel Roddis
3. Reignite Jordan Rhodes' career
He's the club's record signing, and by Jove we're going to get him back in form! Make him the solo striker, put him through double-intensity training, fine him three month's wages - basically, do what you must to get him scoring. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) Photo: Gareth Copley
4. Win a cup competition
Forget about the league, the magic of the cup is what it's all about. It's coming up to 30 years since that Rumbelows Cup win, and it's time for another famous day at Wembley. Fire up that open top bus, we've got a parade to plan. (Photo by Shaun Botterill/Allsport/Getty Images) Photo: Shaun Botterill
