Sheffield Wednesday: Dejphon Chansiri makes emergency move as wage payment saga continues | OneFootball

Not all of the club's employees have received their full May wages.

Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has got in contact with business associates to try to help resolve the club's wages issues, which have currently left sections of players and staff not fully paid for the month of May.

We're only a couple of months removed from the last time some people who work for the Hillsborough-based club didn't get the money that they were owed on time.

At the end of March/beginning of April, the playing staff were the ones to be affected, and while that is very worrying, this time it is worse as lower-paid members of staff are now in the same boat as those on the pitch.

Wednesday came within a day of receiving a three window-long transfer ban as a result of the last payment saga and are under threat of having the same punishment handed down to them this time.

At the time of writing, the wage issues have not been resolved, as has been reported by a number of local Sheffield journalists.

Dejphon Chansiri asks for help with Sheffield Wednesday wages

In order to try and fix this reoccurring issue, the club's Thai owner has reached out to people outside of the club to try and help raise the funds needed to pay his members of staff, according to The Star.

Emergency funding for those worst affected at the club is available, as per the Sheffield outlet, as Chansiri scrambles to get a short-term fix sorted.

It has been said that some of the lower-paid staff members have only received £700 of the money that they were due to be paid for the month of May.

As per The Star's report, the club hopes to have the issues sorted by the end of Monday.

Chansiri has not long rejected another offer from an American consortium to buy the club.

Protests demanding that the Thai businessman get away from Wednesday were held by supporters in April when the players didn't receive their wages on time.

Sheffield Wednesday are a mess and unfortunately, Dejphon Chansiri is to blame

Following the last saga of this sort, first-team manager Danny Rohl told Wednesday about what he planned to do this summer: leave the club, as per Rob Staton.

He hasn't found a way out of Hillsborough yet as the compensation that would need to be paid to the Owls to get him out of his contract, which runs until the summer of 2027, is considered too lofty by some interested teams.

Now that there has been another round of late payments, it's harder to see a world in which Rohl would ever consider changing his mind, and even harder to see why any players that Wednesday had been looking at would want to join the club.
