Sheffield Wednesday's crisis deepened as over 2,000 fans protested against owner Dejphon Chansiri outside Leicester City's King Power Stadium. The protest, which saw fans boycott the match and stay outside the stadium, was a culmination of a chaotic summer that has seen late wages, upheaval, and anxiety at the club. Nathaniel Chalobah gave Leicester City an unexpected lead in the 26th minute, but the result was secondary to the protests. Otto Brookes, a Wednesday supporter, handed out leaflets calling for Chansiri to sell the club, saying 'you want to support your team and the players to feel supported, especially in these circumstances. But there comes a point where you have to say if you keep funding the person in charge of the club, there's not going to be anything left.' The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust has urged fans to boycott official merchandise and stay out of their seats for the opening of the new Championship season. The vast majority obliged, with concourses at full capacity and turnstiles closed down by stewards 50 minutes before kick-off. Neil Atkinson, a lifelong supporter, said 'it's hard to enjoy anything when your club is falling apart.' The mood was defiant as fans queued to gain entry long into the first half, with chants of 'Dejphon Chansiri, get out of our club' and a plane trailing a banner that read 'Dejphon Chansiri out.' The protest movement has been growing all summer, with fans mobilizing against the Thai businessman. Brookes summed up Wednesday's preparations for the new campaign, saying 'it's been a summer of chaos, hasn't it?' The club's future looks uncertain, with fans demanding change and Chansiri's reign under intense scrutiny. As the protest continued, it was clear that the fans would not back down, with one banner depicting Chansiri as Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter from the sitcom Only Fools and Horses, saying 'this time next year, we'll be bankrupt.' Another had United States President Donald Trump wearing a 'Make Wednesday Great Again' baseball cap. The fans' message was clear: they want Chansiri out, and they want change now.
