Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri says he has paid the club's players and staff plus an outstanding debt to HMRC just a day after asking fans to raise £2m.
The Owls chairman, in an interview with the Sheffield Star, called on 20,000 supporters to give £100 each in order to save the club from falling into a multi-window transfer embargo and admitted wages may not get paid due to 'cash-flow issues'. Wednesday were placed into a registration embargo by the EFL last week due to an outstanding HMRC debt but that is set to be lifted after Chansiri announced the amount had been paid along with the club's players and staff.
The bottom line is that Sheffield Wednesday means everything to me and I will always try my best and do my best for our club, today and tomorrow.' In an interview with the Sheffield Star, Chansiri said: 'If 20,000 people gave £100 then it's £2m, and it'd be clear - so we can finish it. 'That would cover everything, HMRC and the wages.
