Crisis at Sheffield Wednesday deepens with fresh payment saga

Employees at Sheffield Wednesday have faced late payments on five occasions this year, including only receiving £1,000 of their September wages.
Unite, the UK's leading union, is actively campaigning against club owner Dejphon Chansiri, condemning his "disgusting" conduct and demanding full salaries for staff.
The payment delays have caused significant financial hardship for staff, with some forced to take out loans to cover essential bills.
David Kogan, chairman of English football’s new independent regulator, has labelled Wednesday's situation a "significant problem" and is seeking powers to intervene, potentially including forced sales for unsuitable owners.
The cash-strapped club is currently second-bottom of the Sky Bet Championship, facing potential relegation and a points deduction, with recent fan protests against Chansiri.
