Sheffield Wednesday’s problems away from the pitch have taken a turn for the worse this week after it was revealed that chairman Dejphon Chansiri was charged by the English Football League.
The Telegraph claim that the Thai businessman could face a permanent ban from football if found guilty by an independent panel, which would mean that he would surely have to relinquish control of the Owls.
This has all stemmed from his decision to sell their Hillsborough stadium to himself to offset debts from the 2017/18 accounts, although, the actual sale didn’t go through until this summer.
Wednesday are ready to contest any charges they face with a football finance expert expecting them to be clamped down with a 12-point deduction at the very least.
Fans have been reacting on social media to the news, and it is safe to say that they are reeling at their chairman with him coming in for some serious flak.
One supporter wanted the club to get rid of Chansiri as he believes his actions have never been for the benefit of Wednesday while another brandished him incompetent.
The Wednesday chairman has always put the south Yorkshiremen in hot water with them being dealt two transfer embargoes under his stewardship in the space of just one year.
The uncertain future of the Owls off the pitch has led to several more members of the Hillsborough faithful all asking for one thing – a return for ex-chairman Milan Mandaric as many see him as a perfect figure to get the club back on track.
While several other supporters offered up a variety of solutions for their controversial chairman with the club now left in a precarious state.
One demands him to sell up, while another wants to see ticket prices reduced as it will be the fans who suffer the most from any potential points deduction…
Garry Monk’s task on the field, however, is undoubtedly going to get impacted by this as the potential repercussions from this could see his side go from playoff contenders to relegation favourites overnight.
The 40-year-old has been through it before as last season at Birmingham City he was in charge when they were slapped with a nine-point deduction. Though, that is probably the only saving grace from this drastic situation.

Meanwhile, statistics show the system and the players that Monk needs to play more frequently following their win over Charlton last weekend…
