Jeffers Transfer Listed By Owls
Francis Jeffers' time as a Sheffield Wednesday player looks all-but over after the striker was hit with a maximum club fine and placed on the transfer list.
The former Arsenal and Everton man was sent-off in the Owls' 2-0 defeat at Port Vale last night, an act which proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back, with Laws fining him and also transfer listing him.
Laws refused to comment on the sending off in the post-match press conference, but has acted on viewing the video replay of the incident.
Laws told the official SWFC website: 'His conduct last night was totally unacceptable and something that this football club will not tolerate from any player.
'We have therefore enforced the heaviest punishment available to the club with immediate effect and transfer listed the player.
'The kind of behaviour enacted on Tuesday night is completely unacceptable and does not represent what Sheffield Wednesday stands for and clearly sets a bad example for the game of football.'
Jeffers has struggled to make an impact on the pitch following his move from Blackburn Rovers, and has fallen down the pecking order at S6.
Doncaster Rovers were linked with his services last week, and Jeffers could be moving away before the transfer deadline next week.

why didnt he do this earlier in his owls career so we could get rid. if i remember rightly he didnt really want to come in the 1st place
mick66owl
I agree Mick, good riddance!!!
Bognor_Owl
i could never understand why we paid so much for him in the first place, 700k was a lot for a club in our situation back then. I feel sorry for Doncaster, this guy is getting gigs purely off his reputation.
Norman
why was micky adams so please to beat us and not united. is he a piggy or something.
Radon Barrier
thanks francis, i've defended him recently but ffs there is not much more to say now. hopefully we might get a bit of a fee and obviously the saving in wages
Hirsty's Shinpads
I just hope we get rid this week or else he's gonna stroll round for the reserves till january bein paid handsomely. Can't exactly see us bein inundated with bids either...
north stand owl
even if it is a free transfer GET RID this week and get a loan in to replace the gormless looking idiot.idiot (being generous )
carlton owl
i think that photo above says it all

I haven't seen the incident, does anyone know what happened? cos although Jeffers got sent off he is also covered in blood so surely something else happened
Hirsty's Shinpads
He was covered in blood cos he nutted one of their players! Great decision to transfer list the useless *****. Time to get a pacey striker in now, or give a young lad a chance, lets see some passion! UTO!
Danigol_10_SWFC
If anyone puts an offer in for him even gor a free transfer they must be crazy.....hopefully he can be 'marketed' in the right way and quickly (Ex England, Arsenal, Evertion etc etc).
johnswfc
it was his own blood. he nutted somebody and bust himself open in the process... ironic really... he was the one doing the attacking and he still ended up being the one injured. who said he was injury prone?
Carbone's Padawan
The Port Vale player had a pop at FJ first but that still doesnt excuse what he did. Apparently he was supposed to be aiming for his nose, but thats another header he managed to f00k up. And if we get more than £250k for him then we will have mugged whoever pays it. Nobody in their right mind is going to touch him with a ten foot barge pole.
Skeggy Owl
this is the one piece of good news to come from last night
bradford_owl
my guess is that we'll ship him out on loan to someone for rest of season, and he'll leave on a free at the end of this one. no one's gonna pay for him - he has a 3 match ban which wont be completed til mid-september!
charmer
I agree charmer, no one in their right mind would pay a fee for him, and also pay his large wages. Best we can hope for is to ship him out on loan until end of season, then someone will take him on a free in July
johnnywalker69
on the plus side tho i hate to see players getting sent off for time wasting and kicking the ball away etc, if you are gonna get a red card you may as well do it in style!
Hirsty's Shinpads
I think Fergie should take a gamble on him like he did Owen
Carbone's Padawan
Have you been smoking crack CP??
Whatever happens, he'll be gone at the end of the season, when his contract runs out. IF anyone makes any inquiries about him, it would be in his best interests to go, otherwise he'll be risking having nothing come next July.
US Owl
Dead right US. This could be the end of the road for Franny. I hate to think how much money he has made from a good start on Merseyside and little else!
dobby1
Could be the making of him. Lets face it nobody is going to take him off us so he will either rot in reserves all season or he'll get picked, get roundly booed when he comes on (not by me tho) and hopefully try and prove everyone wrong
Hirsty's Shinpads
Good point thers Hirsty, if i were him i would get my head down and work my socks off!!
Bognor_Owl
it worked for Leon!
charmer
2 Clubs have already expressed an interest according to BL, one here and one abroad. Are they mad!!!!!
CLIFFANDJ
The Fergie comment was an attempt at humour US Owl... I should have known better eh.
Carbone's Padawan
I think they shud put him in a cage on fun days n charge people to chuck stuff at him thats the only way we'll get any money back for the tosspot.
