Sheffield Wednesday fans are once again venting frustration at their controversial owner.
Sheffield Wednesday have endured another turbulent season, both on and off the pitch.
Earlier in the campaign, all the talk was about Dejphon Chansiri and his controversies, with the Owls owner bombarding fans with statement after statement, even asking them to settle an outstanding £2million HMRC debt.
Then he appointed Danny Rohl and brought in a new-look backroom team. Soon enough, results improved on the pitch and fan focus was more on that than on Chansiri.
Chansiri then had a chance to further right some wrongs in the January transfer window. But in the end, it was another painstaking one for the Owls who failed to sign a striker, with four players joining all on loan.
Since, fans have once again aimed anger towards Chansiri.
Alan Biggs tells Dejphon Chansiri stay away from transfers
Chansiri was reported to have arrived back in the country midway through last month, seemingly to help oversee some transfers.
The Owls tried and failed to sign Duncan McGuire from Orlando City, with reports suggesting that Sheffield Wednesday bid nearly £3million, though how true that is remains to be seen.
It came after Chansiri hired a new Head of Recruitment in Kevin Beadell. But still, with now director of football or anything similar, it remains to be seen how much control Rohl and Beadell have over transfers, and how much of a say Chansiri has in matters.
Nevertheless, Sheffield-based journalist Alan Biggs believes Chansiri should be nowhere near the subject:
Sheffield Wednesday in desperate need of a director of football
Right now, Sheffield Wednesday are lacking a crucial link between owner and Rohl, and Beadell and so on.
Chansiri has no experience of football and maybe even no knowledge of the sport. Yet he’s likely having to help in football related matters because there’s nobody filling the space between him and the manager and recruitment team.
This all cries out for a director of football, or CEO, or someone similar who can act as that final go-to for the coaching and recruitment team, then leaving Chansiri as the owner, and only that.
Sheffield Wednesday are certainly a club in a mess and recent events, poor January showing and poor results on the pitch, have really highlighted a lot of deep-rooted issues at Hillsborough, with Chansiri seemingly the root of all those problems.
Up next is a crucial home fixture vs Birmingham City on Friday night; a win could bring the Owls five points from safety with Huddersfield Town in 21st currently eight points ahead.
Kick off is at 8pm tomorrow.
