Tales from the fortnight that confirmed Dejphon Chansiri’s Sheffield Wednesday downfall

The Star's Alex Miller reflects on the October 2025 fortnight that resulted in Sheffield Wednesday entering administration and ending Dejphon Chansiri's ownership. The article details how formal insolvency discussions began after HMRC threatened the club with a winding-up petition, following months of financial pressure, fan boycotts, and debts secured against Hillsborough stadium being called in.

Miller recounts how local journalists withheld reporting the delicate proceedings due to warnings that premature coverage could derail the process. On October 24, 2025, sealed court documents confirmed the club's administration, prompting celebrations outside Hillsborough and the removal of seats bearing Chansiri's name.
