Dejphon Chansiri’s latest stance on potential sale to Sheffield Wednesday is now revealed

Chansiri and former boss Carlos Carvalhal had the Owls on the brink of promotion to the Premier League, but darker days were soon to follow.

Sheffield Wednesday spent two seasons in League One, returning to the Championship last year, but embarking on what would be a turbulent season.

After signing Danny Rohl in October, Sheffield Wednesday would avoid relegation back to the third tier.

Chansiri has since secured a new three-year deal for Rohl, who looks set to oversee a busy summer in S6.

Despite this, there is still a lot of uneasiness towards Chansiri among Sheffield Wednesday fans.

Dejphon Chansiri’s stance on potential Sheffield Wednesday sale

Nixon has now revealed on Patreon that Chansiri is “looking for new investors” at Sheffield Wednesday, “but is turning down approaches” to buy the club.

Nixon adds that Chansiri “wants to have more financial support at Hillsborough, but without giving up full control”.

There were rumors of interest in a Sheffield Wednesday takeover last year, although they never amounted to anything significant.

Sheffield Wednesday fan protest group The 1867 Group revealed in November 2023 that Chansiri had not acted in “good faith” when approached by a consortium about a possible takeover.

What the new investors could mean for Sheffield Wednesday

Not only does new investors inevitably bring new money and new funding into the club, but it can also mean new ideas.

There is a continuing sense that Chansiri is pulling a lot of the strings at Sheffield Wednesday and that he desperately needs to bring more bodies into the boardroom.

A new investor could take a lot of the weight off his shoulders and allow the club to run better.

While Chansiri’s reluctance to relinquish full control suggests he still wants to strike and that may be worrying for fans, indifferent whether or not the club receives new investment.

But this latest update certainly looks like a positive thing for Sheffield Wednesday, adding to what has been a positive summer so far.

The Owls have plenty of irons in the fire, it seems, but a lot of work is still needed, mainly in terms of playing squad, if Sheffield Wednesday are to have a consistent 2024/25 campaign.
