Sheffield Wednesday fans express frustration at facing another turbulent summer ahead

Sheffield Wednesday fans express frustration at facing another turbulent summer ahead as attention turns to the 2025/26 season.

Dejphon Chansiri, the club owner, has rejected an improved takeover offer from a Florida-based consortium, as reported recently.

This follows a pattern of Chansiri maintaining control despite interest from potential buyers. He has stated he’s open to selling but insists it’s not his responsibility to find a buyer, which adds to the uncertainty surrounding the club’s future direction.

The future of manager Danny Röhl remains unclear, with ongoing speculation about his departure.

Röhl has expressed frustration over the lack of clear direction, particularly regarding transfers and club strategy, and has considered multiple options.

Reports suggest he even requested a lower release clause to facilitate a potential move, but Chansiri has stood firm.

Despite positive contract talks earlier in 2024, no resolution has been confirmed, and Röhl’s public comments indicate he’s weighing his options carefully.

Several key members of Röhl’s backroom staff are out of contract this summer, complicating matters further.

No decisions on their futures would be made until the season ends, and their expiring contracts mean no compensation would be owed if they leave with Röhl, making a potential exit easier for interested clubs. This situation could destabilise the coaching setup significantly.

With only 18 first-team players currently under contract, Sheffield Wednesday face a major squad rebuild.

Röhl signed 14 new players in the summer of 2024, 10 on free transfers, but the limited number of contracted players poses challenges for squad stability and planning for the 2025/26 season.

This combination of ownership standoffs, managerial uncertainty, expiring coaching staff contracts, and a thin squad signals another chaotic summer for Sheffield Wednesday.

Fans are understandably frustrated, as Chansiri’s decisions, particularly his rejection of takeover bids and reluctance to align with Röhl’s ambitions, could hinder the club’s progress.

The situation remains fluid, with no clear resolution in sight and another season of. uncertainty as well as a potential relegation battle on everyone’s mind.

Understand that an improved offer from a Florida-based consortium was submitted to buy Sheffield Wednesday, and has been turned down by Dejphon Chansiri.

Unknown whether they’ll return with another offer. Club was contacted for comment. https://t.co/Atye57Ibf8 #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Here’s how fans reacted as Sheffield Wednesday fans express frustration at facing another turbulent summer ahead…

@chrisjthacker: Unfortunately Chansiri will only sell on HIS terms. The more people push (which we should keep doing). The more he pushes back. Nothing will happen until @EFL get involved like #readingfc but I fear it’ll be too late before they do! #swfc

@finswfc1: No one wants you here anymore DC, take the money and leave

@swfc_keegan: “If the fans find me a buyer I will sell” – Dejphon Chansiri

@nsteer15: Get out of our club already Dejphon. ‘If the fans want me to sell, I’ll sell’ isn’t it obvious we all want you to sell

@BonningtonAlex: He is an absolute joke. He’s never going to make his money back, he needs to realise we’re not worth as much as he’s asking for. Cut your losses and give us our club back Chansiri

@smithshane080:
Don’t buy season tickets
Don’t buy tickets
Don’t go at all
Don’t buy anything at the shop

@AshFinney1: Genuinely believe that he’ll never sell us.

@willfowler1867: Bore off Dej

@ChrisSWFC92: Chansiri by this point is running a social experiment on Wednesday fans #swfc

@Baxby07: Enough now just sell the Club! Does the man not understand that no one wants him here! #swfc

@katie_kirk30: Chansiri pal you’re starting to boil my piss now!! Do the right thing and go nobody wants you at Swfc

@ron_1867:
Genuinely can we be in any more of a bigger mess?.
Fans know way to much about what’s going on behind the scenes
Owner refuses to sell
Manager doesn’t want to be here
No signs of incoming transfers
Relegation all but confirmed
Life supporting #SWFC I guess UTFO

@RussAmos333: My gut feel on all this is Rohl was given reassurances last Summer and signed the contract and Chansiri has gone back on his word. Only man that seemed to get on with the Chairman was Carlos #swfc

@TreaclePieUk: Announce The Wednesday of Sheffield, starting in the North East Counties division 1 immediately…… #enoughisenough #swfc #timestimecock #chansiriout #getart

@SwfcGurny: You’ve got to vote with your feet, you’ve got to stop going, stop giving the bloke your hard earned cash. We’re the main revenue stream into the club if we restrict that revenue it only pushes him closer to the door when he’s losing even more of his father’s money.

@finn_wawaw1234: When’s it going to end #swfc

@tomswfc91: Chansiri surely doesn’t get any satisfaction from owning @swfc. He’s just an embarrassment right now. He should be jumping at the chance of someone getting him out of this hole he’s dug himself. #swfc

@WednesdayRetro:
He doesn’t want to sell
He’s not going to sell
Can’t fund the club
Can’t take it any further
Going to be a long summer
A manager who wants out & talking to clubs while under contract
It’s going to drag 🙈🤡
🦉#swfc

@Samking20202: Owls in the park is gonna turn into one massive protest 🤣🤣 #swfc

@scottcain1312: I’m at a loss with Wednesday atm everything just feels so negative nothing good is coming out of the club I’ve zero energy for it even to protest against him I just feel like we are stuck with chansiri and will be in a downward spiral moving forward dreading next season #swfc

@KellyBarrett01:
Being a #SWFC fan is hard
Don’t know if we have a manager
Don’t know if we have a buyer
What we do know is maybe our current owner needs to show us #fans his proof of funds to maintain and invest in our #massive club for the next 10 years
#WAWAW

@jamesk11106: #SWFC reality is Rohl is Wednesday manager until someone meets our demands or we agree to negotiate. Note he hasn’t resigned as he knows that rules him out of a job….so until such a time he should act like our manager when he’s back from his holiday next week.
