Dejphon Chansiri has placed Sheffield Wednesday in further trouble as the problematic owner has failed to make payments once again.
Sheffield Wednesday had been placed under two EFL embargoes recently, with Chansiri facing increasing scrutiny for his role in the club’s financial woes.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, finance expert Dan Plumley urged Chansiri to take up offers that are on the table and sell Sheffield Wednesday.

The embargoes that Wednesday were placed under came following the EFL’s ruling that the club would be unable to fulfil a portion of their financial obligations in the season ahead.
Andy Giddings has now written on X, saying: “Hearing from multiple sources, Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri missed deadlines this week to make some football and non-football payments.”
Sheffield Wednesday are second bottom in the Championship with only four points from their first six league games, sitting only above city rivals Sheffield United.

“If he can’t do that, then he can’t pay this £7.4m loan.
Administration is looking increasingly high-risk…
“There are some reservations there because Chansiri himself could end up as kingmaker at Sheffield Wednesday because he sold the stadium to a technically separate entity.
“So we could therefore have a position similar to that which we saw at Derby County where the former owner put the club into administration, kept control of the stadium and was therefore able to play the part of Caesar and give the thumbs-up or thumbs-down to interested parties as far as a takeover is concerned.
