‘Patience is running out at Sheffield Wednesday’
A growing number of fans are angry and demanding answers after it emerged that, not for the first time during Dejphon Chansiri’s reign as Sheffield Wednesday owner, the players have not been paid on time.
Many are asking why the club sells season tickets in an early-bird window before Christmas, yet in March, there isn’t enough money to even pay wages?
A statement claims it’s down to “significant sums of money” being owed to Chansiri’s other businesses, “impacting immediate cashflow”.
However, you get the sense patience for a lot of people has run out.
The Owls were placed under a second registration embargo in 12 months by the EFL last November over amounts owed to HM Revenue and Customs. Now this.
How financially sustainable is this club? What exactly is the future of Sheffield Wednesday? These are questions that need to be answered with more than just a statement. Fans are worried and some will feel embarrassed. They deserve answers.
