Sheffield Wednesday are set to face a points deduction this season, and Dejphon Chansiri has little to say for himself.
Sheffield Wednesday’s turbulent summer continues to cause one difficulty after another, with Dejphon Chansiri supervising a dire scenario at S6.
As Chansiri fails to pay players in June, as he did in May, the national press has began to focus on the Thai billionaire and the concerns surrounding Sheffield Wednesday.
Danny Rohl appears ready to quit Sheffield Wednesday, with no obvious successor in sight. Henrik Pedersen is a candidate, but interest from others, especially Premier League club Brentford, must be too much to turn down, leaving Owls U21 manager Andy Holdsworth as the best alternative.
As staff and players await payment, another issue has developed at Sheffield Wednesday, which Chansiri will undoubtedly have to address.
Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri misses payment to clubs
According to The Telegraph, the latest bad news for Sheffield Wednesday is that Chansiri owes Southampton transfer money for Shea Charles’ loan in the 2024/25 season.
Furthermore, the contract to bring Akin Famewo to the club from Norwich City in 2022 has yet to be paid off, with Norwich City still due money for him.
Sheffield Wednesday are expected to face a points deduction for the 2025/26 season as a result of the delayed payments, which has been described as ‘inevitable’ and potentially inescapable for the club.
Sheffield Wednesday now faces the possibility of players departing because they are unable to perform their contracts, as well as payments to other teams, which the EFL will not ignore.
Dejphon Chansiri must face consequences for his activities this summer
Aside from a few carefully crafted club statements scattered throughout the summer, Sheffield Wednesday owner Chansiri’s quiet is notable, especially given the club’s current situation.
The Sheffield local press has repeatedly given Mr Chansiri an olive branch, but he has always declined. If Chansiri wanted to cover up the fractures or at least limit the harm, you’d expect him to face the music rather than sign faceless declarations.
One of the great English clubs is being demolished in front of our eyes, and such occurrences cannot be ignored. Ultimately, many of the troubles afflicting the club right now are attributed to Chansiri.
