    Got to admit I'm struggling. With the context. But it goes without saying Chansiri owns both club and stadium.
    I'm also of the belief. Chansiri could put the Sty up for sale. And do the same with the club. Something our board can't do with the well. As It appears i misread in your opening post.

    I understand they are different entities but we certainly can't be compared as who owns Club and Stadium. Unless I've lost the plot.

    Sheffield Wednesday Football Club (SWFC) pays rent to Dejphon Chansiri for the use of Hillsborough Stadium. Chansiri is the owner of the stadium and SWFC.
    Explanation
    • In 2014, Thai businessman Dejphon Chansiri bought SWFC from Milan Mandarić.
    • Chansiri owns Hillsborough Stadium, which is home to SWFC.
    • SWFC pays market rent to Chansiri for the use of the stadium.
    • In 2023/24, SWFC paid £2.6 million in rent to Chansiri.
    • The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust (SWST) has called for transparency from Chansiri about how he plans to use the profit from the rental income.

    Overall I think we. Including probably yourself and most fans are a tinge jealous of the position they are in as a club. (Winning on the field and status will allus be the main aim) But we shouldn't be in awe of Chansiri. Or their fans. He obviously has, as it seems a bottomless pit of money. If he doesn't reach the promise land, god knows what he's capable of.
    I'll go for our board over him. Doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome other investors with the club at heart. Or do i feel things are totally hunky dory.

    As for the ops post of which club is in the biggest mess is debatable. Most seem to think us. I believe Chansiri is more than capable of pulling up sticks, if he doesn't reach the Premier in the next few years.
    Yet again season tickets on sale b4 xmas. And increased in January. Which ended a couple of days ago, Suggests a cash flow issue. (Not an expert on that btw. )
