Sheffield Wednesday ownership: A look at Dejphon Chansiri’s source of wealth + Net worth.
We looked at the net worth of Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri and how he made his money.
It is a big summer for Sheffield Wednesday after they secured Championship survival.
The Owls looked destined to make an immediate return to League One after a disastrous start to the season under Xisco Munoz, but they achieved safety after a remarkable turnaround under Danny Rohl.
Wednesday were one of the form sides in the division in the second half of the season, and a six-game unbeaten run, including three victories in their last three games, ensured they will remain in the second tier.
While the season ended positively for the Owls, it was an incredibly turbulent campaign on and off the pitch, and supporters protested against owner Dejphon Chansiri on multiple occasions, with his lack of investment in the transfer market and high ticket prices among the issues causing frustration.
Big question marks remain over whether Chansiri will provide Rohl with the necessary backing this summer to convince him to stay at the club, and supporters are nervously awaiting the outcome of talks between the pair.
Loanees such as James Beadle, Ian Poveda and Ike Ugbo have now returned to their parent clubs, and with 19 players out of contract, including the likes of Liam Palmer, Josh Windass and Barry Bannan, a significant rebuild may be on the cards this summer, meaning Chansiri will need to invest in order to build a competitive squad.
Chansiri’s actions are likely to come under scrutiny once again this summer, and ahead of a crucial few months for the club, we looked at the net worth of the Wednesday owner and how he made his money.
