Wrexham co-owner Rob Mac backed a club U-turn permitting Sheffield Wednesday fans to bring a banner calling for owner Dejphon Chansiri to sell. Sheffield Wednesday faced possible collapse after missed wages and multiple EFL-imposed embargoes for financial breaches, including late pay to players and staff in May, June and July. Fans requested permission to unfurl the banner ahead of the Championship clash; the Wrexham Supporters Trust initially denied it citing "political connotations" before the club reversed the decision. The WST referenced Wrexham supporters' past fundraising and compared Wednesday's situation to previous near-collapse. Mac urged supporters to buy last season's away kit, donating profits to the WST.
"More than most, Wrexham supporters understand the devastating impact poor ownership can have on a football club's survival. Just 14 years ago, our fans raised over £100,000 ($135,240) in a single day to save Wrexham from expulsion from the Football Conference, after years of mismanagement had brought us to our knees," the WST said in a statement. "Today, Sheffield Wednesday find themselves in a similar situation; a proud, historic club brought to the brink by its owner."
Wednesday have been in trouble of going out of business this summer in a stormy past few months has seen the club hit with several EFL-imposed embargoes for financial breaches, including failing to pay players and staff on time in May, June and July. Ahead of the Wrexham-Wednesday clash in the Championship on Saturday, fans of the south Yorkshire club asked for permission to unfurl the banner.
