​Sheffield Wednesday up for sale

Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri says he is putting the Championship club up for sale, reports BBC Sport.

The Thai businessman, who bought the Owls in 2015, told a fans' forum he would put the club on the market.

The Owls are currently 18th in the Championship, with fans unhappy with manager Jos Luhukay, and were under a transfer embargo which ended in August.

"I will put this club on the market. I believe many people want to buy," Chansiri told the forum.

The last available financial figures show the Owls lost more than £20m in 2016-17, an increase of £15m on the previous year.

"The EFL changed the regulations at the end of last season. We didn't just break (FFP rules) a little, we broke them a lot - eight figures," he added to the forum.

"We have problems with FFP, so it is hard, but we will try our best.

"I am not looking to next season, I am looking now to solve FFP and how we can make this season as good as we can.

"If we can solve those problems now, then next season can be better."
