Thought it deserved its own thread.
Rohl to leave today. Transfer embargo. Players not been paid and exodus. Council refuse to issue safety certificate for the north stand so no fans allowed this season. Chansiri refusing to sell for less than £100m.
Another victory for football administration |  | | |  |

The Athletic says different.
<quote> Oh, and he will try to add a new English club (teams like QPR, Southampton, or Watford, as opposed to Sheffield Wednesday) to the mix to make something that should fly off the New York Stock Exchange’s proverbial shelves.<end quote> | | | |

It’s not just buying the club, Chansiri’s wife owns the stadium so you have to buy a Thai wife to make the club operational.
Same same but diffferent |  |

They could be bought by the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. They're still gonna be buggered for this season as they have a transfer ban for the next three windows |  |

Another transfer window ban added and rumours that Bannen’s signing isn’t being allowed. |  |

It was stated about his commitment to Wednesday and as it’s nearly 11pm i guess it’s about to expire……. |  | | |

If a transfer window slams shut and Sheffield Wednesday have a transfer embargo, does it make a sound? |  | | |

harsh maybe, but bearing in mind owls have had issues for years and a few deductions, should they start the league? i think bbc reported they have 15 squad players and those aint been paid ! the owner is sitting schtum? main stand with his name, is condemned by local council as unsafe, they are seriously in trouble.
likely they will cop another points deduction and with past history could be quite a few?
fit and proper? crap! | | | |

As they continue to be late with paying wages and amounts owed to the taxman they have been forced to rename themselves Sheffield Thursday. | | | |

What a dreadful bloody mess and how has this been allowed to happen?
Also what the hell are the PFA doing about It? In my ignorance they might be doing something or attempting to do something.
I find It hard to believe that It has come to this If I'm honest.
Hopefully something can be sorted out but Sheffield Wednesday might, just might be the first of many.
I've got no answer to It.

As the article says at the end, it could be short term pain for long term gain, if it get rid of the current owner and allows some-one else to buy the club out of administration. |  |

Driving community assets (including football clubs) into a winding up order through financial mismanagement should be a custodial offence. [Post edited 16 Oct 16:37]

The winding up petition comes from HMRC. Its not just the players who haven't been paid, but also the taxman. |  |

There has to be a different way to deal with a situation like this. The club is a significant historic community asset. Ensuring it doesn't go to the wall is in the interests of a great many people. |  | | |

Derby ended up paying 25% of what they owed to HMRC, it’s not fair on other clubs that pay their bills in full, also how many nurses/teachers etc would that money have paid for, at a time when the chancellor is on about raising taxes why should any company get away with not paying them?
Harsh as it is for the fans I bet when the money was being splashed to try and get to the promised land they was all behind it. | |

Well, it was one over zealous steward outside the ground which the club can’t really be blamed for.
Football is rival, bar one or two, there’s probably no club I would wish this on as without it there’s nothing. | | | |

This should be the trigger for the new regulator. You stop making pay roll and stop paying HMRC you lose the club, the debt is yours and creditors can pursue you for it. The club is overseen by an appointed administrator and sold debt free. |  | | |

The PL and EFL should bring in a rule stating that as well as the consideration, any prospective club buyer should have to deposit a sum equal to one year's wages (players and non-playing staff) with the League, in a separate escrow account.
Assuming the new owner pays the wage bill on time, he/she should receive the interest on the account, but after any default, the league should be able to access the account to pay wages. And at the end of 12 months of non-payment, with the account emptied, the owner forfeits control of the club and has to put it up for sale to the highest bidder, whose bid must be accepted.
Meanwhile, owners of well-run clubs who don't default, should see the deposit returned to them if/when they sell up. [Post edited 16 Oct 21:42]
