Sheffield Wednesday have endured a miserable start to the new Championship campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Owls are struggling for results after a difficult summer saw a number of key first team players depart the club.<\/p>\n

Financial issues have plagued the Yorkshire outfit throughout the year, with players receiving late payments of wages on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n

This has resulted in speculation surrounding the future of owner Dejphon Chansiri, with supporters urging him to sell his stake in the Championship side.<\/p>\n

Here we look at all the latest news surrounding the ownership situation at Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Henrik Pedersen reveals Dejphon Chansiri discussions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Henrik<\/p>\n

Henrik Pedersen has overseen the start of the new Championship season, taking over the side after Danny Rohl\u2019s exit in the summer.<\/p>\n

The Dane has revealed that he\u2019s discussed the team\u2019s poor form with Chansiri, with the club in real danger of being relegated unless a turnaround is managed.<\/p>\n

He claimed that the Thai businessman has assured him that there is no pressure to improve results as the owner understands the difficulty of the situation at hand.<\/p>\n

“He has not complained at all,” said Pedersen, via The Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We are in regular contact and we all know it is a difficult position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the question, the question is with what perspective we give this situation every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see a lot of small things in the right direction and this is what we are working on.”<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> managed just two new signings in the summer window, bringing Ethan Horvath and Harry Amass to Hillsborough on loan.<\/p>\n

Fratton Park banner against Dejphon Chansiri<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dejphon<\/p>\n

It has been reported<\/a> by The Star that a banner will be raised by supporters during Sheffield Wednesday\u2019s<\/a> upcoming clash with Portsmouth at Fratton Park.<\/p>\n

The banner is set to read<\/a>: \u201cSave Sheffield Wednesday from Chansiri\u201d as protests surrounding the ownership persist.<\/p>\n

Pompey have their own history with difficult owners, and are set to show solidarity with their rivals during their upcoming 3pm kick-off on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s believed<\/a> that Chansiri will be in attendance when the two sides meet, with the 1,500 travelling fans set to bring a banner of their own as well.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also understood<\/a> that black and gold balloons are set to be released during the game, as the pressure ramps up on the businessman to depart Sheffield Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Dejphon Chansiri eyeing fresh investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Potential<\/p>\n

It has been reported<\/a> by Alan Nixon that Chansiri is seeking external investment into the club as an alternative to selling his stake in Sheffield Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ex-Crystal Palace owner John Textor has previously been linked<\/a> with the potential purchase of the Championship side, but no agreement has yet been reached.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s believed<\/a> that the asking price has been a big sticking point when it comes to a full takeover of the Yorkshire outfit.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s been claimed<\/a> that the Thai businessman has been able to secure funding which has already helped the Owls with the recent payment of wages, which were on time for August.<\/p>\n

Transfer embargo hurts Liam Cooper deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Liam<\/p>\n

According to The Star<\/a>, a deal for Liam Cooper to join the club collapsed following the latest embargo placed on Sheffield Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been reported<\/a> that the lifting of this embargo, which prohibits the completion of free agent signings, is not so straightforward.<\/p>\n

This means it could be quite complicated to revive any interest in the ex-Leeds United defender, who is currently without a team.<\/p>\n

The latest embargo has been placed on the Championship side due to a failure to provide clear plans for how funding will be provided for the remainder of the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheffield Wednesday have endured a miserable start to the new Championship campaign.
