Sqheffield Wednesday’s situation is being monitored by the EFL, but they can only act if Dejphon Chansiri’s recent threats come true, according to the Yorkshire Post.
Sheffield Wednesday supporters have been at loggerheads with owner Chansiri for some time now, but things have really escalated in recent months. The back and forth between him and former boss Darren Moore hasn’t helped, nor has the dismal start to life back in the Championship.
After the weekend win over Rotherham United marked the first win of Danny Rohl’s tenure, some new optimism regarding their on-pitch prospects was restored. It came after a worrying update that they had been placed under a registration embargo on the Friday though due to HMRC debut.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, an interview with Chansiri was published in which he called on Sheffield Wednesday fans to drum up £2m to cover the HMRC debt and unpaid wages.
Unsurprisingly, many have called on the EFL to act. Now though, The Yorkshire Post reports that while they are ‘monitoring’ the situation, they can not do anything unless Chansiri’s threats come to pass.
