Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> owner Dejphon Chansiri is still on the hunt for fresh investment despite takeover talks and fan protests, reports Alan Nixon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> remain trapped in a cloud of uncertainty about their future. Owner Dejphon Chansiri continues to steer SWFC despite ongoing financial troubles, and the consequences are becoming increasingly clear. <\/p>\n

Chansiri has shown little genuine interest in meaningful takeover discussions, while talk of fresh investment has all but disappeared. Supporters persist in their protests, desperate to see the long-time owner depart Hillsborough, but their calls continue to go unheard.<\/p>\n

News that players were paid late for September has only intensified the pressure on Chansiri. There is a lot of anger from fans, and their frustrations look set to worsen, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

A report from Alan Nixon, via his Patreon<\/a>, the Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> chairman is reportedly attempting to raise a substantial amount of money to clear an outstanding loan. The funds would also be used to cover the remainder of the club\u2019s annual wage bill, rather than pursuing a potential takeover.<\/p>\n

This development comes amid growing speculation involving former Lyon and Crystal Palace investor, John Textor. His potential involvement has added another layer of uncertainty to the club\u2019s off-field situation.<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> played Coventry City<\/a> at the weekend, but the game was not what caught the headlines, as it featured the latest round of fan protests in S6. Supporters once again voiced their frustrations toward chairman Dejphon Chansiri amid the club\u2019s continuing instability.<\/p>\n

Administration is around the corner for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a><\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u2019s future will only move in a positive direction if Dejphon Chansiri eventually accepts an offer for the club. However, given his firm stance on the asking price, that outcome currently seems unlikely.<\/p>\n

As a result, administration is becoming an increasingly realistic possibility<\/a>. Unfortunately, even that scenario may not bring relief, as Chansiri would still retain significant control over the club\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n

Much like Derby County<\/a>\u2019s situation a few years ago, Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u2019s troubles are complicated by the stadium sale to a separate entity, giving Chansiri a major say in any future takeover. This could mean a long road ahead for supporters, with the club possibly needing to take a step back to rebuild<\/p>\n

More noise for Henrik Pedersen and his players to ignore<\/p>\n

Despite the ongoing turmoil behind the scenes, the Owls had been unbeaten in three Championship matches prior to the weekend. However, that run came to an abrupt end with a crushing 5-0 defeat to league leaders Coventry City<\/a> at Hillsborough on Saturday lunchtime.<\/p>\n

New boss Pedersen<\/a>, whose only additions so far are\u00a0loanees Harry Amass<\/a>\u00a0and Ethan Horvath, has been tasked with a daunting job. Filling the void left by Danny Rohl was never going to be straightforward.<\/p>\n

After nine games, SWFC sit on six points with just one win, coming away at Portsmouth<\/a>. Only local rivals Sheffield United<\/a> sit below them going into the October international break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri is still on the hunt for fresh investment despite takeover talks and fan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,9030,64536,393,4884,1620,21069,10381,110679,110680,110681,110682,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-477647","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-championship","10":"tag-dejphon-chansiri","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-sheffield","14":"tag-sheffield-wednesday","15":"tag-sheffield-wednesday-fc","16":"tag-sheffield-wednesday-fc-news","17":"tag-sheffield-wednesday-news","18":"tag-swfc","19":"tag-swfc-news","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115326081320686442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
