Sheffield Wednesday legend Chris Turner has issued a passionate plea to Dejphon Chansiri following the events of the past couple of days. The owner is refusing to put any more money in and yesterday, it became clear that the club needed to find £2 million.

The Owls risk a punishment of a transfer embargo for three transfer windows if debts aren’t paid. Chansiri has called on fans to dig deep and help the club out but should it have really come to this?

Turner certainly can’t believe what is going on at Hillsborough. The Owls legend helped the club win promotion as a player during the 1990/91 season and he has issued a passionate plea to the owner on Twitter after yesterday’s bombshell.

Turner wants Chansiri to act to save Wednesday

This is getting pretty worrying now. When legends like Turner are coming out and expressing their grave concern for the football club, it’s clear that things aren’t going swimmingly.

On the pitch, Wednesday roared to a first win in 14 games on Sunday. A Michael Smith brace saw the Owls win 2-0 against Rotherham. Now, they will look to build on that result.

Speaking on Twitter, Turner explained that he was upset and urged the controversial Chansiri to take action in order to preserve the future of the football club. His tweets were as follows:

Turner is right to call Chansiri out

Clearly, the owner has no time for the fans of the football club. He’s the custodian of Sheffield Wednesday and right now he’s taking the proverbial out of the supporters.

Wednesday is the lifeblood of the supporters. Seeing their club die simply cannot happen and quite how owners like Chansiri are allowed to run football clubs is insane.

Turner deserves some respect for saying it how it is. Other Wednesday legends have come out too and Chansiri must sort this mess before the damage goes beyond repair.
