Episode 21: Can the football regulator drive the sale of Sheffield Wednesday?
Many Sheffield Wednesday supporters missed the kick-off as the team played their opening fixture in the Championship last weekend, because they were staging a protest against club owner Dejphon Chansiri, who says he is willing to sell but hasn't taken any significant steps towards a sale.The bills haven't been paid and the players haven't received their wages. Wednesday had a transfer embargo over the summer and there is a likely points deduction to come but home attendances are still around 25,000 and the club regularly sells out its allocation at away games.In November, the football regulator will have the power to appoint a trustee to expedite a sale in these circumstances but in the meantime Sheffield Wednesday and the supporters continue to suffer, watching their club deteriorate.Our guests on this episode are Clive Betts MP for Sheffield South East, Mark Johnson from the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust and Fair Game CEO Niall Couper.Follow Fair Game on X (yes, we still call it Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.
