Chansiri ends silence but many questions left unanswered

Dejphon Chansiri has ended his silence and issued a statement. It doesn't do much to address the current financial situation at Sheffield Wednesday. It doesn't provide any assurances over future staff payments. It does include the admission that he has "been seriously engaging in looking for investment from new parties and continues to do so to quickly remedy this situation." Chansiri added he's willing to sell. That may provide some comfort for Owls fans who wish for the current chairman to depart. There's still so much more that could be addressed though. Are wages for this month and beyond going to be paid in full, on time? Is there a financial plan in place to get through however long it will take for the club to be bought? Is the asking price now at a realistic enough range to attract the kind of buyer that can get a deal done?This is far more important than the bulk of the statement's content – Chansiri's response to comments made by people associated with a consortium who have made bids for the club. To be fair, Chansiri deserves to have his say when the consortium speak to the media. Yet there's a time and a place and an order of importance here on the topics to be discussed. Not saying anything for so long, then spending a lot of the statement detailing how talks had gone with that group, has irked some fans, looking at the be told, there's been too much online noise over the last few weeks. It isn't helping anyone. Too many 'in the know' rumours (many of which aren't accurate), too many things said and then taken back shortly after, too many people speaking on behalf of others. Fans want things to be sorted behind the scenes. I don't think any of this has helped the situation and it's probably why Chansiri wanted to needs to know there is short and long-term financial security in place at Sheffield Wednesday. My understanding is the first instalment of TV money for Championship clubs is due imminently. That will provide some financial respite. Then there's a second instalment to come in the near future. That helps -- but is it enough to sustain the club to the start of the season and possibly beyond?There's also no clarity on the situation with the North Stand, with rumours galore after a recent meeting between the club and the Safety Advisory Group. Manager Danny Rohl appears set to depart, so who coaches the team? What is the make-up of the squad and how will the wages situation impact the players and their desire to stay at Hillsborough? When will work on the training ground be completed, given that isn't the case despite players returning from a summer break today?We've requested interviews with Chansiri and the offer remains open. It would be nice to get a few more answers to some important topics.
