Sheffield Wednesday are staring down the barrel of another potentially catastrophic points deduction as owner Dejphon Chansiri's alarming administration warning sends shockwaves through Hillsborough.
Financial Crisis Deepens at Hillsborough
The Championship club faces an existential threat after Chansiri admitted he may be forced to place the historic Yorkshire outfit into administration if supporters don't provide additional financial support. This desperate move would almost certainly trigger an automatic points penalty from the English Football League.
"If you don't want to help the club, I will step away and then the club will go into administration," Chansiri declared in a startling statement that has left fans fearing for their club's future.
History Repeating Itself?
This isn't the first time the Owls have faced points deductions under Chansiri's turbulent ownership. The club was previously hit with a six-point penalty in 2020 for financial misconduct related to the sale of Hillsborough stadium.
Another administration would likely result in a more severe punishment, potentially dooming Wednesday's Championship status and creating long-term financial repercussions.
Fan Backlash and Ownership Stalemate
The Thai businessman's relationship with supporters has deteriorated dramatically, with Chansiri claiming he's being treated "like a parasite" despite investing over £150 million since acquiring the club in 2015.
With crucial fixtures approaching and the team fighting for Championship survival, this latest crisis threatens to derail their on-pitch efforts and create lasting damage to one of English football's founding members.
