MP urges Sheffield Wednesday owner Chansiri to sell up

Pressure is understandably and increasingly growing on Dejphon Chansiri to sell Sheffield Wednesday.

There have been many concerns raised during his time in charge at Hillsborough, but his inability to pay wages for a second time in three months, in particular to non-football staff members, has led to EFL charges and serious concerns over the short, medium and long-term future of the club.

There have been reports about the Owls owner approaching business associates to raise funds, there are also reports that rising academy star Caelan-Kole Cadamateri is set to be sold, presumably to aid Mr Chansiri’s significant cash-flow issues.

A US-based consortium has told BBC Sheffield this week that they’ve had two bids to buy the club rejected.

Last season ended with unprecedented fan protests and the SWFC Supporters’ Trust is hosting a fans forum on 11 June to enforce their message that ‘Enough is Enough’.

We don’t know yet what the EFL charges will mean for both Dejphon Chansiri and Sheffield Wednesday as a whole – they have 14 days to respond – but currently, it’s Mr Chansiri’s football club and is solely in his hands, irrespective of who or how many people want him to sell.

First and foremost though, the club’s employees need their May wages, as Mr Chansiri’s apology won’t pay their bills.
