Journalist Dom Howson has highlighted a commendable action by Dejphon Chansiri at Sheffield Wednesday amid a turbulent season.
Chansiri, often viewed as the antagonist at Sheffield Wednesday this season, faced criticism following a series of challenges, including the departure of Darren Moore shortly after promotion from League One, the controversial appointment of Xisco Munoz, and public disputes with Moore leading to the formation of The 1867 Group.
Despite this, Chansiri’s recent attendance at Hillsborough to witness Sheffield Wednesday’s impressive 3-0 victory over West Brom suggests a positive shift. The Owls currently hold 20th place in the Championship, three points clear of relegation ahead of their final match against Sunderland.
While Chansiri may not receive accolades for hiring Danny Rohl, his continued support and engagement with the team during crucial moments deserve recognition.
Dejphon Chansiri wanted Danny Rohl to do one thing at Sheffield Wednesday
According to journalist Dom Howson on the We Are Sunderland podcast, Dejphon Chansiri had a specific request for Danny Rohl during his time at Sheffield Wednesday. Chansiri wanted a British coach on the back-room team, which led to the inclusion of experienced figure Chris Powell alongside Rohl in October. This move, aimed at maintaining a balance, echoes previous instances under Chansiri’s ownership, such as when Carlos Carvalhal worked alongside Lee Bullen.
It seems like there might be a shift in sentiment towards Dejphon Chansiri at Sheffield Wednesday.
Despite a challenging season and speculation about his absence from Sheffield, a recent incident where a fan confronted him has surprisingly garnered support for Chansiri among some Wednesday supporters. Additionally, revelations about his involvement in player matters may suggest he’s more knowledgeable about the club than previously thought.
However, many fans still oppose his ownership. A successful summer, particularly in retaining manager Darren Moore, could potentially sway more fans in Chansiri’s favor.
The upcoming match between Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday should be an interesting one, kicking off at 12:30pm on Saturday.
