Sheffield Wednesday has been issued another embargo by the EFL after Dejphon Chansiri failed to pay his wages on time in September.
However, while they wait for a change at the top, the club is frequently having troubles with the EFL, which sanctioned Wednesday earlier this year.
Sheffield Wednesday faces a new embargo.
And, in a new development, writer Rob Staton has revealed that the EFL has added another embargo to the list, this time for Chansiri’s refusal to pay recent monthly salaries.
It was the seventh time in seven months that wages were not paid on time, and a points deduction has been described as ‘absolutely certain’.
Henrik Pedersen’s team is currently 23rd in the Championship, so any deduction would have a significant impact on the club, which is already struggling to stay in the level due to a lack of finances.
Sheffield Wednesday requires a change in ownership to progress.
Everyone at Sheffield Wednesday knew this was going to be a problem after Chansiri failed to pay his wages on time again, and the EFL has now confirmed the embargo.
Unfortunately, it’s simply another difficulty for the Owls, and the truth is that they won’t be able to progress until Chansiri leaves the club.
The manner he has left them in this situation is entirely wrong, and failing to pay players and staff on time will have an impact on their life, so this extends beyond football.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to be imminent on the takeover front, so it’s going to get worse before it gets better for the Owls, and you can understand that supporters will be concerned about the future of the club.
As stated above, they are highly likely to lose points, and if the inability to pay wages on time continues, additional players may walk away from their contracts.
It’s a very grim scenario right now, and the inevitable EFL fines aren’t going to help, so all that remains is to hope for some positive takeover news to bring Chansiri’s tenure at Hillsborough to an end.
