Dejphon Chansiri set to suffer after Sheffield Wednesday takeover update - it's 'brilliant news' | OneFootball

Dejphon Chansiri is set for a financial blow and Sheffield Wednesday's fan pundit has reacted to the latest on the situation after James Bord blow...

Sheffield Wednesday's takeover saga continues to rumble on, but some interesting news has emerged regarding Dejphon Chansiri in the midst of James Bord backing out of a deal.

It has emerged that, due to James Bord’s offer being pulled, Dejphon Chansiri will miss out financially. He is not set to make the expected £15 million from a Sheffield Wednesday takeover, but he’s more than likely going to make around the £1 million mark instead due to the expected lower bids for the club.

Relegation to League One may have been confirmed, Bord may well have failed to acquire the club, but the latest information on Chansiri is perhaps a comfort to some Wednesday fans when everything around them seems bleak at best.

He also needs to pay off a loan soon that he'd secured against his purchase of Hillsborough Stadium, which he was hoping to use the proceeds of Bord’s takeover to pay off, and he’ll now have to use his personal wealth for instead.

The Sheffield Wednesday view of Dejphon Chansiri suffering after James Bord blow

Football League World spoke to our resident Sheffield Wednesday fan pundit Patrick McKenna for his immediate reaction to the latest developments surrounding Chansiri. We asked Patrick if Chansiri is getting everything he deserves?

Patrick told FLW: "Well, obviously, it's absolutely brilliant news that the disgraceful Dejphon Chanisiri is going to lose out in this, considering how he absolutely destroyed a club and put a fanbase through misery.

"Not to mention the horrific treatment of his staff. From this sale, he deserves as little as possible. He has earnt nothing. He has destroyed a club.

"If he has the expectation that he was getting £15 million and now he's getting £1 million? Well, brilliant. I hope that is going to cause him great personal pain and issues.

"And I hope that he's going to have to be scrambling about for money. The fact he has to pay off a loan against his purchase of Hillsborough is a remnant and a reminder of his ownership.

"I think I do speak for every Wednesday fan where we are delighted that he is earning a lot less money. I hope that this decision is causing him a lot of pain."

The next Sheffield Wednesday owners have a tap-in after Dejphon Chansiri

In footballing terms, there is mismanagement, and then there is whatever has unfolded at Sheffield Wednesday under Chansiri. For a club of this size, with this history, and with this supporter base, the last few years have felt like a slow erosion of pride and of any semblance of a well-run club.

Points deductions, transfer embargoes, managerial churn, and promises made before being swiftly forgotten; it has been exhausting for Wednesday fans. They are absolutely not some small provincial outfit punching above their weight. They are a sleeping giant with a stadium that can still explode on big nights.

After that win against Peterborough United, the club felt poised to unite and galvanise to a point where they cold unlock some of that serious potential. They have a fanbase that turns up in numbers others can only dream of. Yet under Chansiri’s stewardship, the club has too often lurched from one crisis to the next.

It's been a serious case of firefighting problems of its own making as opposed to building anything sustainable under one manager or another. The tragedy is that this is a club crying out for stability and structure.

That starts with new ownership in a post-Chansiri world. With smart recruitment and transparent communication, the next through the door have a tap-in via a long-term plan that stretches beyond the next window or the next PR statement. Instead, supporters have been left with uncertainty and frustration.

If Sheffield Wednesday are to take their next step — whether that’s a genuine push for the Premier League or simply becoming a well-run, competitive Championship club again — they need that leadership as quickly as possible. That means a serious ownership group with the right resources, long-term view and football expertise.
