Sky reporter reveals new Sheffield Wednesday issue - Dejphon Chansiri's exit hasn't changed problem | OneFootball

Chansiri may have exited Sheffield Wednesday, but player and staff wages are not guaranteed to be on time once more...

There may be a fresh blow on the horizon for players and staff members of Sheffield Wednesday, with no guarantee of wages being paid on time for the month of October as payday looms.

The atmosphere around the Owls fanbase has been rejuvinated since the news broke on Friday that maligned owner Dejphon Chansiri had placed both the club and Sheffield 3 - the company that owns Hillsborough Stadium - into the hands of administrators Begbies Traynor, and with a lifelong fan in Kris Wigfield among the team now in control of their destiny, there has been nothing but positives coming out of the club.

From Chansiri's name being ripped out of the seats in the North Stand, a mass amount of money being spent by fans on merchandise, to numerous parties registering their interest in the club and ticket discounts in place to try and get fans back to Hillsborough regularly, it has pretty much all been positive - but there could be a twist around the corner.

Even though the administrators have brought some positivity back to the fanbase of Sheffield Wednesday, they are there to do a job - to get the best deal for the club going forwards and they also need to make sure the club can afford to run in the interim.

Fans have spent massive amounts in recent days to try and pump money into the club, but it may not be enough for the wages of players and staff to be fully paid on time by the end of October.

As revealed by Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett, the monthly salaries of staff connected to Wednesday may not arrive by Friday, and if they do not, it would mean that six of the previous eight months would have ended without full payment for players, backroom staff and club workers.

Dorsett has added that the administrators are working hard to "maximise funds" in order to get everyone paid on time, which is seen as a priority business decision, so it remains to be seen as to whether they all go through on time, despite the fact that significant money has been put into the club within the last five days by the club's fanbase.

Sheffield Wednesday feel good factor could dissipate if wages are unpaid

The fear of wages not being paid on time for the month of October show that it's potentially not all positive under the new temporary arrangements at Sheffield Wednesday, with the legacy of Dejphon Chansiri's 10-year custodianship of the club still hanging over like a cloud.

Five of the last seven months have seen players and staff worried with uncertainty over their pay packets, and perhaps many have thought that with the money being spent around the club in recent days that this concern will disappear.

However, there are still some senior Wednesday players on what you'd imagine to be decent wages, and they need to be paid along with the members of staff both in the footballing department and everywhere else around the club, and that will be a costly thing to do.

Administration doesn't normally bring as much of a feel good factor as it has done for Sheffield Wednesday, such is the distain the fans had for Chansiri and his actions, but that feeling may not hold up should the same payment problems emerge.
