1994–95 Sheffield Wednesday F.C. season

Sheffield Wednesday were among the pre-season favourites for a UEFA Cup places, having finished seventh in the first two Premiership seasons, third in the last First Division season in [[1991–92 Football League First Division|

1992]] and winning the League Cup in 1991, with many fine players still on the club's payroll. But they were still without striker David Hirst for much of the season due to injury, and this played at least some part in the Owls enduring their worst league form since relegation in 1990.

Right up till early May, the Owls were in real danger of relegation and this was enough for the club's board, who wielded the axe on manager Trevor Francis after four years in charge.{{cite web|last=Metcalf|first=Rupert|title=Francis the latest victim|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/francis-the-latest-victim-1620405.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/francis-the-latest-victim-1620405.html |archive-date=1 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|work=The Independent|date=21 May 1995|accessdate=16 November 2013}}{{cbignore}} His successor was the former Luton Town and Tottenham Hotspur manager David Pleat, who looked to the continent in hope of returning the Owls to their winning ways and brought in Belgian forward Marc Degryse.
