Sheffield, United Kingdom – The Sheffield
Wednesday Supporters Trust today issued a call to action, urging all Wednesday fans to unite in protest against the management of the football club by Chairman Dejphon Chansiri, son of Kraisorn Chansiri, the former chairman of Thai Union Group, owners of John West Tuna. In releasing a damning risk assessment of Chansiri’s ownership, the Trust encouraged fans to march to Hillsborough as a show of solidarity, demanding change from the toxic club he has fostered.
The findings of a survey conducted by the Football Supporters Association reveal that 95% of Sheffield Wednesday fans have declared #EnoughisEnough, expressing profound dissatisfaction with a decade of mismanagement. The Trust emphasizes that the club’s current trajectory under Chansiri's leadership has no potential for a sustainable and thriving future.
The protest took place on Saturday, 26th April,
coinciding with the final home game of the season against Portsmouth FC.
Thousands of Sheffield Wednesday supporters marched through Hillsborough Park,
culminating in a gathering in front of Hillsborough Stadium. The goal of the protest was clear: to urge Dejphon Chansiri, after his chronic failures, to make the honourable decision to sell Sheffield Wednesday Football Club to new ownership committed to implementing and funding a forward-thinking, strategic plan for the club’s success.
The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust applauds all fans who participated in this pivotal moment for the club’s future. The
march was a peaceful yet impactful demonstration of the supporters' dedication
to seeing Sheffield Wednesday flourish once more under capable leadership.
Trust Chair Ian Bennett remarked, “It was amazing to see the determination of
so many fans. Their incredible dedication to the club—one of the best-supported in the country—must not continue to be repaid with ongoing and countless acts of poor decision-making, bad business practices, and the careless management into decline of a great institution.”
With one unified voice, Wednesday fans have
declared: Enough is Enough. Chansiri, sell the club.
