Sheffield Wednesday’s ownership saga has taken another dramatic turn after it emerged that Dejphon Chansiri has rejected a huge £90 million takeover bid for the club.
According to insider sources, Chansiri has made it clear that he will not be pressured into selling below his own valuation, with the Thai businessman setting a staggering £120 million as the price tag for Sheffield Wednesday.
It is understood that as many as four bids have been tabled in recent months by various interested parties, with the most recent £90 million offer being flatly dismissed. This revelation has only fuelled growing tensions between Chansiri and Wednesday fans, many of whom have been calling for him to step aside amid financial instability, transfer restrictions, and declining performances on the pitch.
Supporters have already staged protests in recent weeks, voicing their frustration at the direction of the club and accusing Chansiri of clinging on despite what they see as mounting failures. The latest news of a rejected takeover bid has sparked further anger, with many fans taking to social media to question whether the owner’s demands are realistic.
“Sheffield Wednesday is a proud club with history, but Chansiri’s price feels like fantasy football,” one supporter wrote online. “We are struggling to compete in the Championship, and yet he’s turning down £90 million when the team desperately needs change.”
Others fear that the high valuation could drive away serious buyers. “He’s pricing us out of a future,” another fan posted. “If he really loved the club, he would let it go to someone willing to rebuild it.”
Chansiri, who has owned the club since 2015, has consistently maintained that he is committed to Sheffield Wednesday and insists that any sale must reflect what he considers the true value of the club. However, the rejection of such a sizeable bid will likely intensify scrutiny of his stewardship, with fans increasingly desperate for new leadership to steady the ship.
For now, the future of Sheffield Wednesday remains clouded in uncertainty, with the gap between Chansiri’s valuation and what prospective buyers are willing to pay appearing wider than ever.
