‘Arrogant’ Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri slammed for shoving young fan who filmed him while singing song
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY chairman Dejphon Chansiri has been slammed as “arrogant” after a shoving a young fan.
The Thai businessman appeared to push a supporter who was goading him in a video uploaded to social media.
Chansiri seemed to lose his patience with the boy following Sheffield Wednesday‘s 3-0 win over West Brom on Saturday.
The supporter appeared to have stopped the club’s owner for a selfie after the game before deciding to instead film a video of himself chanting “Dejphon Chansiri get out of our club” in front of the 55-year-old.
Chansiri looked to be riled up by the antics and could be seen using his hand to shove the kid in the back to put an end to the chanting.
The video was uploaded to X by the boy’s father, who has since deleted it, with a caption that slammed Chansiri for his actions.
The post read: “My son getting hit by the Sheffield Wednesday chairman!”
“Just about shows his arrogance and not understanding of the English game!”
SunSport have approached Sheffield Wednesday for a comment.
Chansiri has been a controversial figure since taking over the club in 2015.

He previously pleaded with Owls fans to raise £2million among themselves to pay off an HMRC debt that the club owed in October 2023.
While he also made headlines for reportedly labelling a fan as an “idiot” after receiving an email demanding that he sells the Yorkshire club.
On the pitch things are looking pretty disjointed too with Wednesday currently sat in 20th place in the Championship.
While a handful of fans raced onto the Hillsborough pitch after their 3-0 victory all but guaranteed their safety in the division.
The ugly scenes saw one supporter confront stewards with a corner flag as he tried to maintain his place on the playing surface.
