Owls fanbase has never been more united against Dejphon Chansiri

This summer has seen one issue followed by another, and many of the concerns ultimately stem back to the owner, Dejphon Chansiri.

The last five years have seen plenty of unrest towards the Thai owner, but he has also had his backers, which has split the fanbase at times where it needed to be united.

However, the last two months have been incredibly eye-opening at Sheffield Wednesday. The club has been torn apart in clear view, which has since led to the entire fanbase siding against Chansiri.

Sheffield Wednesday are no closer to a takeover this summer; however, such action can only have positive effects as they look to put as much pressure as possible on Chansiri.
