Following the “draining” takeover drama, Sheffield Wednesday is supporting the replacement of Chansiri with a “seasoned businessman.”

Following the “draining” takeover drama, Sheffield Wednesday is supporting the replacement of Chansiri with a “seasoned businessman.”

 

The EFL’s current crisis club is Sheffield Wednesday, who come into the season in a state of chaos after a tumultuous summer.

 

 

Last week, Danny Rohl resigned by mutual consent, following in the footsteps of Michael Smith and Josh Windass, who also ended their contracts.

Due to late payments, racts are eligible for free transfers.

According to reports, John Textor, the owner of Botafogo and Olympique Lyonnais, is interested in purchasing Wednesday from current owner Dejphon Chansiri as supporters grow more concerned about the team’s future.

The Sheffield Wednesday must welcome Textor.

Although Sheffield Wednesday’s state is dire, Textor has a troubled history as an owner, and his increased involvement with football teams has garnered media attention this summer.

 

Patrick McKenna, a Sheffield Wednesday fan pundit for FLW, stated that the Owls would be happy to have Textor join them, which could have some advantages.

 

“The basic problem and the reality is that someone has to take over the club,” argues Patrick. The club’s continued existence is seriously threatened if Dejphon Chansiri continues to be its owner.

Whether it’s John Textor or someone else, someone has to step up and just take it.

 

Hearing stories that X or Y is leading all the time is tiresome and annoying, and John Textor’s name hasn’t disappeared in recent months.

 

“Should I greet him at the club?” Yes must be the response.

 

“What I’m looking at, and the only thing I’m focused on, is what he can bring to Sheffield Wednesday, and for starters, it’s a lot more than Dejphon Chansiri.” “He hasn’t been out of the headlines in the last few months due to what’s happened at his other clubs.”

 

“The individual has commercial experience, but Chansiri has none at all. He has experience and knowledge of football, and I think he has grown very motivated to lead a new English squad.

John Textor’s involvement at clubs
Club	Period	Stake
Botafogo	January 2022 – present	90%
RWD Molenbeek	January 2022 – present	80%
Lyon	June 2022 – present	77.49%
Crystal Palace	August 2021 – June 2025	43%

 

“The idea of multi-club ownership would be advantageous to us if Textor takes over because we might be able to recruit players from some of his other teams to break the embargo, which might not even be abolished following the takeover.

 

Another issue concerning Textor is that Dave Richards is supposed to be taking over as chairman. This means that instead of trying to manage everything by himself, he will try to establish an appropriate structure to manage the organization.

 

“I believe he will be able to pinpoint the main issues facing the team, like the absence of infrastructure and a transfer policy of any kind.

Textor’s summertime issues with the Crystal Palace and Lyon

 

Despite occasional on-field success, Botafogo supporters regularly voice their dissatisfaction with Textor’s management of the Brazilian powerhouses.

 

Additionally, he is unpopular with Racing White Daring Molenbeek, another team he owns and wants to rename after losing to the Belgian Jupiler Pro League the previous season.

 

Following a warning for the majority of the previous season about their financial presentation to French football authorities, Lyon was administratively demoted by Ligue 1 early this summer.

 

After an appeal, they were placed back in the French first division, but they will most likely have to resume operating by the rules, which would need some significant changes.

Crystal Palace was dropped from the UEFA Europa League to the UEFA Europa Conference League when Lyon prevailed in their appeal and UEFA determined that Textor had a controlling stake in both clubs.

 

Sheffield Wednesday is in a dire condition, but there isn’t a single set of fans—and there are plenty—who are happy with Textor.
