The Thai businessman says he is putting Sheffield Wednesday up for sale.
Dejphon Chansiri has put a £200 million price tag on Sheffield Wednesday, according to the Daily Mirror (December 21, page 64).
The Owls’ Thai owner revealed at a fans’ forum earlier this week that the club is up for sale.
It follows strong criticism of his regime, during which Wednesday gone from being a side that twice came close to promotion from the Championship, to one battling relegation and facing further sanctions in relation to its over-spending.
Chansiri is reported to have told the Sheffield Star: “I will put this club on the market and I believe many people will want to buy”.
But his alleged asking price is close to seven times the £30 million he is said to have paid for the Owls (the Guardian) back in 2015.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday’s most recent accounts showed losses of more than £20 million throughout the 2016-17 season.
And, assuming the Daily Mirror’s figure is accurate, it is unlikely that any potential new owner will be rushing to buy the Yorkshire club.
Realistically, how much could Chansiri get for Sheffield Wednesday?
