How much money Dejphon Chansiri was 'hoping' to get from Sheffield Wednesday takeover | OneFootball

Dejphon Chansiri was hoping to gain a large amount of money from David Storch's Sheffield Wednesday takeover deal

Dejphon Chansiri's negative influence is still affecting Sheffield Wednesday after his severe financial mismanagement plunged the Owls into administration.

Chansiri was disqualified from his position as Wednesday owner back in December, when he was also handed a three-year ban from owning or being a director at any EFL club.

The Owls remain in administration, but prospective owner David Storch is making good progress towards a takeover deal, which would guide the South Yorkshire outfit to a brighter future.

Meanwhile, Henrik Pedersen's men extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to three games by drawing 1-1 with Charlton Athletic on Saturday, but are still without a win since beating Portsmouth back in September.

The eight-figure fee Dejphon Chansiri wanted amid David Storch Sheffield Wednesday takeover

Storch's Wednesday bid fell below the amount required to pay creditors 25p in the pound, leaving the Hillsborough club at risk of being handed a 15-point deduction in League One next season.

The S6 side have already been deducted 18 points this term, thanks to Chansiri's wrongdoings, which acted as a catalyst for their relegation, which was confirmed in February.

However, reporting via Patreon, Alan Nixon revealed that Chansiri is open to talks with Storch's Arise consortium, to try and reach an agreement that could avoid the 15-point penalty.

Such an agreement would heavily enhance the Owls' chances of securing a Championship return at the first time of asking, should they also enjoy a successful summer transfer window.

Storch remains intent on completing his Wednesday transaction by 1 May, which would allow the South Yorkshire club to become active in the market.

Meanwhile, in a separate Patreon post, Nixon revealed that Chansiri is the major creditor and was hoping for around £16million from the takeover deal.

Nixon's report added that both the administrators and the EFL want the Owls' former owner to take a compromise figure instead.

Dejphon Chansiri doesn't deserve £16million from David Storch deal

Even if Chansiri does reach a deal with Storch's Arise consortium, which eliminates the Owls' 15-point deduction, the Wednesday faithful will feel absolutely no gratitude towards the failed owner who did them a huge disservice.

The South Yorkshire side are a proud football club who were a founding member of the Premier League and won the League Cup in 1991.

However, Chansiri's severe financial mismanagement has left Wednesday in a position that has put their mere existence under serious threat.

Therefore, supporters will be angry about the fact that their former owner ever wanted £16m from the takeover deal, rather than being grateful if he now makes a U-turn on that.

Chansiri's consistent failure to pay staff and player wages caused several high-profile departures last summer, including that of former boss Danny Rohl.

Rohl's exit was accompanied by that of ex-star players such as Josh Windass and Djeidi Gassama, while the winter transfer window only provided more heartache, as Owls legend Barry Bannan moved to Millwall.

As reported by the Wednesday Word, the South Yorkshire club have explored bringing Bannan back to Hillsborough ahead of next season, but his exit was still painful for loyal fans.

The former Scotland international's exit provides yet another reason as to why Chansiri doesn't deserve a handsome sum from Storch's takeover.
