EFL Statement as Dejphon Chansiri and Sheffield Wednesday Face Punishment
- On June 3, 2025, the EFL brought charges against Sheffield Wednesday and its proprietor, Dejphon Chansiri, for multiple violations related to the club's payment responsibilities at Hillsborough stadium.
- The charges stem from the club's failure to pay players and staff their wages on time in March and May 2025 due to cashflow issues, with non-playing staff also affected.
- The EFL expressed serious concern over the matter and confirmed that formal proceedings have begun, giving both the club and Chansiri a 14-day window to respond to the charges.
- Sheffield Wednesday ended the recent Championship season in 12th place, with Chansiri expressing a heartfelt apology and pledging to cover the club’s financial needs while aiming for a prompt resolution.
- The club faces possible EFL penalties including a transfer ban and restrictions on squad size or transfer fees if they breach the 30-day rule on late payments across a season.
