How do people see this panning out?? He has an unrealistic asking price for the club, stripping all the assets and alienating all the fans. How do they conceivably get rid of him without raising £100m? Its a shocking situation whatever you feel about the club, but do you think anyone will save them? |  | | |  |

Cruel though it is for Weds, a big name needs to go bust to actually make something happen to protect clubs.
The likes of Bury are inconsequential to the wider football world. |
At the end of the day clubs are only a business. Who would ultimately take the liability for a failed business, if we say we aren't going to let them fail. |  | | |

Yes, they’ve got their bone headed idiots. Most clubs do, not least because actions of football supporters to an extent reflect society.
We got an unhealthy minority that seek to undermine and destroy our own players, whether it’s a goalkeeper in a pre season friendly or after his first game against Man city or a 21 year old forward carrying an injury. Has any Wednesday player’s dad felt the need to write publicly asking supporters to lay off his son? I don’t know, but I’m guessing it’s rare. What does such things do for our image?
Wednesday have a good, passionate support base. Better and larger than most and that will be a serious attraction to a buyer. I know the ground is falling apart, but that just means more opportunity for a serious investor to do something with it like Birmingham City’s have.
I hope for their decent supporters, including the ones I’ve met and had a laugh with, a takeover happens and they get rid of Chansiri sooner rather than later. [Post edited 31 Jul 10:18]

What I've never understood is how owners who run successful businesses, and therefore have the money to buy a vanity project like a football club, can then be soooo bad at running a football business.
Chansiri is a moron, but must have competent people around him. |  | | |

I think the problem is that how do you assess the value of something like a football club? When you think that Delap was transferred for three quarters of the price of this club in 2021 and what this club is worth now, is £100m to a Sheikh Rattlenroll such a huge amount in 2025?
Sheffield Wednesday has the potential to be a very big club. It has history and I presume assets like a training ground let alone Hillsborough. In any case, I suspect Chansiri will accept a lot less than that just to get out. |
Different gravy. Delap was an asset that could - and did - appreciate in value. Most football clubs lose money so they are worth what someone thinks their potential might be, but that depends entirely on getting the club into the Premier League because then your asset is generating £100m annually, if only for one year. |  |

It's a little like Evans and us. Buy in at a certain point in time where you think a certain amount of investment will move the club on. Football moves around you and gets more expensive, then you can no longer afford to make the club competitive.
Fortunately for us Evans couldn't do anything with Portman road. Chansari could do something with the land Hillsborough sits on. [Post edited 31 Jul 10:10]

He doesn't run a successful business, his Dad and brother do.
He was basically given the money to buy the club to keep him away from the family business. |  | | |

A bit like Leicester City, where the original Thai owner was very shrewd & ran the club well, but after his death, the club passed on to his playboy son, who apparently doesn't have a clue. | |

Thank you for this post.
Your first paragraph absolutely nails Evans tenure as owner of our football club. |  | | |

If football was any other industry, dozens of clubs would have gone by now. |  |

I agree with this. Evans was an unquestionable failure, but I think he must at least be viewed fairly for what he put in and what he tried to do.
Which is why I don't agree that we were necessarily lucky that he couldn't do anything (negative/nefarious) with Portman Road. I don't think there's any evidence that he would have done something reckless or disastrous with the ground or land. He wrote off a huge loan and ensured that we were taken over by a credible outfit, so he's clearly not an asset stripper. Whether he was magnanimous because he was lovely or because he didn't want to get lynched is a different question entirely. |  | | |

PR is on rented ground, it is the land that is worth something. There is also the training ground land, which is owned by the club. He didn't have to be an asset stripper, merely a business owner that hits hard times and is forced to sell assets by its administrators. Evans writing off the loan was always happening, it was merely an accounting practice to fund the club, he had to sell it on clear of debt. [Post edited 31 Jul 12:25]

Evans was rubbish in the long term, but at least a football club was literally in the same ball park as his other businesses. ITFC was very beneficial to him
Quite what Chansiri thought Sheff Weds have got to do with, literally, the price of fish I will never guess.
Evans did try to bring people in to help, just didn't invest in them or the club. Chansiri is a different level | | | |

Only because there has been a string of wealthy people willing to throw money at a club. | | | |

Is that any more than twitter/social media rumours? He'd be in a whole load of trouble if that were true. |
Apologies, I was misinformed, here is the correction...
Sheffield Wednesday’s North Stand will be closed for the entire upcoming season.
• It will take four years to sort out the necessary repairs
• In 2025, the chairman commissioned a new structural report… from a company in Bangkok
• That company never even visited Hillsborough
Absolutely mad times at Sheffield Wednesday. 🏟️🤯 |  | | |

The rumours today are that all the playing staff are not getting paid on time this month, even the youngsters this time! This is seemingly going to cause more players to hand in their notice.
Another day, another sh*t sandwich for the fans to eat! |  | | |

Hillsborough is a huge old ground, it hasn't been touched for 30 years. Yes the current owner is a joke but maintenance/upkeep issues go back further than Chansiri. He was rich idiot who bought a club and got in over his means | | | |
