Now begging fans for £2m in loans to pay wages and HMRC to avoid a 3 window transfer embargo. The gift that keeps giving https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/foo...sday-dejphon-chansiri-fans-hmrc-wages-4391378
£2m eh... weren't they losing around £500k a week in their first season in League One? They're lucky it's only an embargo and not anything more appropriate for them
Number of sheffield Wednesday fans that went to Wembley against = 565,000 £2,000,000 required. Quick calculation of £2,000,000 divided by 565,000 = £3.53 per man. Easy?
Just read this. Chansiri is a complete nut job. The interview reads like something from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. If he really is going to turn off the tap, they're beyond fcked. Admin a certainty. However if I was a Wednesday fan I'd happily take the 12 point hit and relegation just to get rid of him. Except he now owns the ground, which I think could turn into a massive issue.
This is what happens when you borrow from future revenue with 3/5/10 year season tickets and early bird offers that start in December
Fair play to him for sticking to his guns. I mean, it's stubborn, completely ill advised and can only result in him running the club completely to the ground, but it's a pettiness I admire.
I've often thought that if I won the Euromillions I'd by Wednesday instead of Barnsley, and make them cut their cloth accordingly. At £2m a year just to play in their own stadium I'd have them playing up at Stockbridge. Chansiri has saved me from having to buy a ticket.
Wow...just wow! And this is the bloke who gets angry with fans for questioning his ability to run their football club. So another transfer embargo and possibly administration awaits....anything else? An absolute joke of an owner.
He has funded loses of over £130m. I think he may have run out of cash. There is no prospect of him getting anything back so busting the club would stop him personally losing anymore cash.
exactly. He owns the ground personally too doesn’t he therefore he would walk away with the biggest tangible asset might do them some good to reform in the northern counties league , certainly from a humility perspective
The ground issue is very serious. From a purely financial perspective, surely it would make sense for him to liquidate the loss-making club and sell the ground for property development? Could anything actually be done to stop him doing such a thing if he decided to? Obviously it would cause a bit of a rumpus in S6, but legally I'm guessing he could. Not sure if there's a covenant protecting Hillsborough from non-football usage. Certainly haven't heard of one.
