Sheffield Wednesday could face a transfer embargo spanning three windows, owner Dejphon Chansiri has conceded.
Off-field issues have once again reared their head in S6, with reports of players and staff not being paid having emerged this week.
Backroom staff and non-playing staff, as well as some players on lower wages, have reportedly now been paid. However, it has been indicated senior players remain unpaid.
The embargo would prevent Wednesday buying players with transfer fees, limiting them to free transfer additions and loan signings who do not command loan fees.
Chansiri has claimed the delay is due to money owed to him in his outside business interests.
He said: “I cannot tell you when, but of course I want to pay. Friday (yesterday) is what I want, but if it is not Friday then I cannot do more. It could be Monday. It can come any minute.
“I spoke with them (those who owe him money), they said they are trying to do it. It is normal. It is a domino effect or something like this. When you do business, you understand any company is short on cashflow or they do not get paid, it is normal is business. I do my best to solve everything.
