Regarding if he is playing games with Sheffield Wednesday supporters, Dejphon Chansiri has been questioned.
Journalist Alex Miller claims that Chansiri has refuted the notion that his “astonishing” request for supporters to donate £2 million in order to rescue the team is neither a “show of strength” or “game play.”
The embargo was imposed last week, and the Owls won’t be allowed to sign any players until it is lifted—which won’t happen until the team has settled all of its debts with HMRC.
Dejphon Chansiri, however, has now disclosed in a Sheffield Star interview that he is unable to pay the amount right away due to financial difficulties in his personal business life.
Employees and athletes are anticipated to miss work this month, and the chairman of the Owls has now requested that supporters contribute a staggeri
Chansiri stated: “With HMRC, it’s 14 days if we don’t pay till, let’s say, November 5; however, if we don’t pay salaries as well, that’s five days, for a total of 19 days. Every problem is counted separately.

The Owls are by no means the first team outside of the Premier League to find itself in this kind of precarious predicament, notwithstanding the sad circumstances in which they find themselves. If it appears that financial restrictions will be a problem in the coming years, the EFL needs to start taking accountability when they let takeovers to occur.
Although Sheffield Wednesday supporters shouldn’t have to pay to keep their team alive, the majority of them won’t need to be asked twice to do so because of the size of their devoted following.
According to Alex Miller of The Sheffield Star, he asked Chansiri why he was soliciting money from the crowd.
Miller wrote on X, saying, “To reiterate on this; my initial response was that this was game play, a shot across bows, or a show of strength to protesting fans. I said this to DC.” When repeatedly asked if this was the case, he flatly denied it. Was on the call, however it was hard to tell
