Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri makes takeover decision… even if club drop straight back into League One
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY owner Dejphon Chansiri has no plans to sell the club — even if they go straight back down to League One.
Chansiri shocked fans by suggesting they might be asked to pay the struggling club’s tax bill last week, before eventually finding the funds.
And despite a growing battle with the supporters, Chansiri wants to carry on.
Chansiri acquired Wednesday from Milan Mandaric in 2015.
He initially targeted promotion to the Premier League, but in recent years has seen his side languish in League One.
Last season they were promoted by the skin of their teeth via the League One play-offs.
Boss Darren Moore departed in the summer amid a disagreement with Chansiri.
Wednesday replaced Moore with former Watford boss Xisco Munoz.
The Spaniard lasted just 12 games, however, going winless before being given the boot.
Danny Rohl was appointed as Munoz’s successor.

He lost 3-0 at Plymouth Argyle in his first game in charge, before claiming Wednesday’s first win of the season 2-0 against Rotherham last week.
Yesterday ten-man Wednesday lost 1-0 at Bristol City.
They currently sit bottom of the Championship table, already nine points from safety.
