Sheffield Wednesday look likely to be hit with a points deduction this season, and still, Dejphon Chansiri has very little to say for himself.
Sheffield Wednesday’s tumultuous summer continues to spark one problem after another, with Dejphon Chansiri overseeing a drastic situation in S6.
As Chansiri once again fails to pay players for June, as a handful suffered in May as well, the national press have begun to put pressure on the Thai businessman and the issues that surround Sheffield Wednesday.
Danny Rohl looks set to leave Sheffield Wednesday, with there being no obvious successor in sight. Henrik Pedersen is a candidate, but interest from elsewhere, including Premier League side Brentford, must surely be too difficult to turn down, leaving Owls U21 boss Andy Holdsworth as the top option.
As staff and players await payment, yet another issue has arisen at Sheffield Wednesday, one that Chansiri surely cannot hide from.

Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri misses payment to clubs
In the latest drop of bad news for Sheffield Wednesday, as reported by The Telegraph, Chansiri owes transfer payments for Shea Charles’ loan in the 2024/25 season to Southampton. On top of that, the deal to bring Akin Famewo to the club from Norwich City in 2022 is still yet to be paid off, with Norwich City still owed money for him.
As a result of the missed payments, Sheffield Wednesday are likely to be slapped with a points deduction for the 2025/26 season, something that is reported as being ‘inevitable’ and likely unavoidable for the club.
Not only do Sheffield Wednesday now have the likelihood of players leaving after being unable to fulfil their contracts, but now payments to other clubs loom, something that the EFL certainly will not turn a blind eye towards.

Dejphon Chansiri must face the music for his actions this summer
Aside from a few carefully curated club statements dotted across the summer, Sheffield Wednesday owner Chansiri’s silence is striking, especially given the current circumstances of the club.
Time and time again, the local press in Sheffield have offered an olive branch to Mr Chansiri, and such an opportunity has always been met with no response. If Chansiri did wish to paper over the cracks, or at least undertake some damage limitation, you would think that he would face the music, as opposed to signing faceless statements.
One of the great English clubs is getting destroyed in front of our eyes, and such events cannot go unnoticed. Ultimately, a lot of the issues plaguing the club right now get slung back to Chansiri’s door.
