Championship side Sheffield Wednesday placed under embargo following EFL charges

Sheffield Wednesday have been placed under a registration embargo after their failure to pay their players and staff in May.

Earlier this week the EFL charged both the club and owner Dejphon Chansiri as a result of the non-payment which is not the first time wages have failed to be paid on time.

The club released a brief statement on their website which said: "The club continue to seek a resolution regarding outstanding salaries due for the month of May at the earliest possible opportunity."

"Mr Chansiri sincerely apologises to all players, coaches and staff affected and everyone connected with the club."

Chansiri has in the past blamed being owned money himself from his other business ventures on the late payments.

Wednesday finished the Championship season in 12th position under manager Danny Rohl whose future has come under much speculation, not least because of his fractious relationship with the Thai owner.

Chansiri's decade long tenure as the club's owner has been a tumultuous period for the club and he has clashed consistently with the fanbase over his management of the club, with financial issues and high ticket prices some of the problems raised.
