Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has addressed the club's current embargo after failing to pay HMRC, to come up with £2million in the coming days and the save the club from a multi-window embargo.
️ He told The Sheffield Star: "With HMRC, if we don’t pay until, say, November 5, then that means it's been 14 days, but if we don’t pay wages as well then that's five days - that means a total of 19 days. Each issue counts separately.
"If 20,000 people gave £100 then it's £2m, and it'd be clear - so we can finish it. That would cover everything, HMRC and the wages. That would need to be done before November 10 if they don't want to pass the 30 days, but that means that there can be no next time. It'd need to be before to make it safe - if it was on the fifth then there would be 10 days left… If we were to hit 30 days then we'll get a ban for three windows."
Chansiri added: "They (some fans) want to protest and for me to leave, but nobody comes to save the club. The more positive ones, who backs me up? Then show me, back me up. We don’t have money. The first thing you need to do is save the club. If we don’t pay in 30 days we have a big issue.
"If you want to save your club, this is your chance. Do not protest, save your club. If not, we will get a transfer ban over three windows, there’s a possibility we will go to League Two or the National League. Maybe the negative fans would be happy, they wouldn’t be able to moan that things are too expensive.
"So now you have the right. If the positive fans want me to stay, then this is their chance to save their club”
I am genuinely lost for words. After his statement the other week about not putting any additional money in (then forking out for the new managers back room staff), he decides he won’t pay HMRC.
Surely now is time for the FA to step in.
