cup1688 Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejpol Chansiri has announced he will sell the struggling club for at least £100 million. cup1688

The Owls remain in debt and are restricted in their ability to buy players, with a small squad.

Wednesday are also two months behind on their players’ wages, from June to July.

The Sun, a famous English tabloid, reported since early July that Dejpol owed more than £4 million (174 million baht) in football debt, with the club’s new owners having to pay the debts.

Financial issues were revealed during a series of takeover bids by several consortiums in recent weeks, with American businessman Tilman Fertitta also linked. Fertitta,

68, is the US ambassador to Italy and a friend of President Donald Trump. He

also owns the Houston Rockets, an NBA franchise. Sheffield Wednesday

coach Danny Rohl missed preseason camp amid the club’s crisis, but has since returned to work with former players. The Owls

beat Mansfield 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday, July 26, with captain Barry Bannan and Callum Paterson not playing, despite training with the team in recent weeks.

Bannan and Paterson’s contracts expire on June 30.

Whether Sheffield Wednesday’s situation will be resolved in time for their 2025/26 Championship opener against Leicester City on August 10 remains to be seen (cup1688)
