Dejphon Chansiri slams Sheffield Wednesday fans in astonishing rant as owner makes 'no more cash' vow

Dejphon Chansiri has launched an astonishing attack on "selfish" Sheffield Wednesday fans as the owner confirmed he is pulling any additional funding from the club.

Wednesday are rooted to the bottom of the Championship table with just two points from their opening eight games following their dramatic playoff promotion from League One last season. Boss Darren Moore left the club just weeks after their Wembley triumph and was replaced with Spaniard Xisco Munoz.

But fan discontent has been growing with the Thai businessman for some time. Ticket and shirt prices have been slammed as calls grow for Chansiri to sell up. But he has now hit back with a lengthy 1,500 word statement on the club website in which he asked what the fans are doing to make the club success, tells them they have "no right" to ask him to leave, demanded they show more respect and challenged them to tell him how to better run the club.

Most worrying though, was his vow that he won't be putting any more of his own cash into the Hillsborough coffers. He said: "Some fans say I am the custodian, not the owner. Who say they were born here and will die here. I may not have been born here and I will probably not die here but one thing I can say is that I will always try and do my best for Wednesday. Even though I have been involved for less than 10 years, that does not make my love for our club any higher or lower than anyone else.

"To those who are trying to create trouble damaging the club, I ask, what have you done that is good for your club, why are you trying to harm it? If I am such a bad owner, what are you doing on your side? We all love Sheffield Wednesday and I am a supporter as well as the owner who must love and care for the club more than anyone
