Hypothetically speaking, if a football club that youve given your life to goes out of business. what next? I can’t watch league football as a neutral, but the idea of adopting a new team feels utterly wrong. it’s an existential crisis. Glad it’s obviously only hypothetical clearly #swfc

I agree - it’s a depressing listen. I really didn’t want to hear that this is a worse situation than any other club has been in (bar Bury). Feels like there’s no way out unfortunately.

I think it’s just an utter lack of acumen on his part. Thinks that he can hold out for a deal to cover his losses. Day by day, the value is deteriorating. Currently we should be seen as a league one asset - and not an attractive one at that. The deck of cards is seemingly collapsing around us.

This is heartbreaking. People’s lives are being affected, and a very real chance that there will be no club to start the season. My only hope is that Chansiri would rather sell for something, rather than destroy an asset completely. Such a sad situation for all of us.

Sheffield Wednesday hit with ban on transfer spending until January 2027 Sheffield Wednesday have been banned from spending money on transfers until January 2027 following the repeated failure of the Championship club to pay players’ wages

Hi @philippeauclair.bsky.social - further to my note last week, the situation at #SWFC is predictably starting to snowball now. Banned from any paid transfers until 2027, no new player registrations currently and the annual community “Owls in the Park” shindig has been cancelled on ‘safety grounds’

And finally - this was the last anyone has heard anything from the club. 8 days ago and counting

Don’t apologise - keep up the awesome work that you do

And this is not a “lone fan ranting” issue here. This is a demise that has taken a sudden turn. No-one at the club (including the non-playing staff as I understand) have been paid fully for May. @priceoffootball.bsky.social has featured this with an alarming frequency. Nothing coming from the club

Thank you for coming back to me Philippe - I will send on relevant links. Thanks again

I’m not sure the gravity and seriousness of this situation is being heard widely. Please help!

Where is Dejphon Chansiri? At a time where a business he owns is on its knees, he has disappeared. Silence from the club. This is a sporting scandal hammering a once great British sporting institution. A genuine possibility there will be no club to start the season in August. #swfc

Interesting. Regardless, we will have players who will not want to be here, no manager and no-one in the right mind would want to join. Surely the owner can see that he is sabotaging his own asset. If I were a prospective owner I’d be sitting back, waiting for a distressed asset to buy on the cheap.

Thanks Kieran

Ok thanks for clarifying, this is useful. So in effect, if May goes unpaid, and June doesn’t happen on time, notice can be given on July 1st with a 15 day grace period.

And re the players and manager - I’d run an absolute mile. I don’t expect an inch of loyalty and rightly so. Would I stay for an employer who doesn’t pay me? Absolutely not. I’d get out and find an employer I trust and respect #swfc

We run the real risk of having no players and no manager at the start of the season. Therefore by default, no club. #swfc

Hi @priceoffootball.bsky.social I seem to recall that PFA regs mean that players can break their contracts if they haven’t been paid for 14 days after wages due. Is this right? If so #swfc have 4 days left until those left can just walk. Nothing from the club/owner for days. Scary times

Completely agree. It’s easier for playing staff to find new jobs, and I think if they are PFA members they can break contracts after 14 days of non wage payments. Trickier for the non-playing staff I guess. It’s such a sad situation

According to the great @priceoffootball.bsky.social Chansiri was originally after £350m for the owls - laughable. Realistically £50m is about right. The challenge is that we need the right person and fast. What gives me no confidence is that the current owner will be the arbiter of who buys us.

That’s perfect!

Ive had a season ticket for over 30 years at #swfc and it breaks my heart but I’m done. The systematic destruction of my club cannot go on. Change must happen or we die. I fear a fire sale to a Lyle Lanley style chancer but at the moment we are a laughing stock. Chansiri must go and fast

Find me a worse piece of #FPL judgement than taking a -4 at 1055am to take Chris Wood OUT of your squad. Purely to be able to bring Moyes in as AM.

You won’t find one.
