In 2019, Sheffield Wednesday faced charges from the EFL for alleged Profit and Sustainability Rule breaches following the sale of Hillsborough Stadium to owner Dejphon Chansiri. This came after two consecutive summers of soft transfer embargoes due to financial issues. Fan frustration has grown, especially after Chansiri’s 2023 request for supporters to contribute £100 each to cover club expenses. Defending his transparency, Chansiri stated, “I always say the truth, even when they are not things the fans are going to like.” Despite the turmoil, Chansiri’s ownership is bolstered by his family’s considerable wealth, estimated at over $500 million in 2020.
A new statue of John Rudge, posed in his familiar “Dickie Bird” stance, was unveiled at Vale Park this week, honoring his legacy in football. Known for his 14-year tenure as Stoke City’s director of football, Rudge remains beloved at Port Vale, where he managed for nearly two decades. The tribute, crafted by local sculptor Mike Talbot, has already drawn hundreds of fans to the Hamil Road stand, with many more expected to pay homage to this cherished figure in the years to come.
This statue joins other notable football monuments in the city, such as the iconic 9-foot Sir Stanley Matthews memorial at Stoke’s bet365 Stadium, which celebrates Matthews’ transformation from local talent to global legend.
