Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has asked the club's fans to raise £2 million to save it from bankruptcy.
Sheffield is embroiled in a financial and sporting crisis after being allowed to unionize its players due to debts owed to the British Treasury.
According to British media, the longer the period without repayment of debts, the more impossible it will be to register players.
This means that the English club can face the suspension of the market in three transfer windows.
"If I had money in the bank, I would pay right away," said Chansiri in an interview with "Sheffield The Star" newspaper.
" If 20,000 people gave £100 each, then we would be fine and this situation could end. This amount would cover everything, the payment to the treasury and salaries , "added the Thai billionaire.
The Sheffield side are at the bottom of the table, with six points after 14 games.
A few days ago, he fired the Spaniard Xisco Munoz, who was the coach of the club since the summer.
