As a US native, 30 year Owls supporter (backstory upon request), I have been watching this train wreck. I need to share my thoughts.
First, the fact that Chansiri can’t make payroll means he is unfit to run the team. The debate is over. This is insane. If this occurred in the USA, he would be immediately relieved of ownership. There is no possible way out. He must sell.
Second, fans cannot be expected to remove an owner (there is no way to force this) nor find a buyer (that’s asinine). This is a case where we need a higher authority to step in.
Where is the football league in this? Surely they want to help a club in distress. How does it benefit them to have this owner running this club into the ground? They come down on clubs for idiot fans, but do they help a team when the owner is ruining things?
Where is the government? Sheffield Wednesday FC carries the name of a proud city. Are the MPs aware of this threat to one of the city’s institutions? Are they ready to help? You’d better believe a US congressperson would be ready to help a bunch of voters/donors.
