Hated Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri refusing to sell club for less than £100m in another huge blow
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY owner Dejphon Chansiri still wants a staggering £100m for the troubled club. The Owls are still in debt and face signing restrictions with a reduced squad. 1 Wednesday missed player pay days for two consecutive months in June and July. Earlier this month, SunSport reported that Chansiri owes more than £4million in football debts — which will have to be paid by whoever buys the club. The extent of the cash woes emerged during takeover bids by several groups in the prior weeks. Earlier this month it was reported that US businessman Tilman Fertitta was in talks to buy the crisis club. Fertitta, 68, is the US ambassador for Italy and is an ally of Donald Trump. The businessman also owns the Houston Rockets in the NBA. Wednesday manager Danny Rohl initially did not show up for pre season amid the club's woes. The 36-year-old eventually returned but has had to work with a threadbare squad. The Owls beat Mansfield 2-0 in a training ground friendly yesterday. Club stalwarts Barry Bannan and Callum Paterson did not feature, despite having trained with the Owls in recent weeks. Both players have been out of contract since June 30. It remains to be seen whether Wednesday's sorry situation will have improved by their Championship opener against Leicester City on August 10.

German culture minister invites Berlusconi to discuss ProSieben bid
BERLIN, July 26 (Reuters) - Germany's culture minister invited Italian media magnate Pier Silvio Berlusconi on Saturday to a meeting to discuss his offer to buy TV group ProSiebenSat.1, and said any bid for the German company should protect journalistic independence. Minister of State for Culture Wolfram Weimer told Reuters he had invited Berlusconi to the chancellor's office for the meeting, "to discuss his plans". "A change of ownership at a media group like ProSiebenSat.1 would be far more than business as usual. The potential takeover would influence the media power structure of our country," Weimer said, adding that strong private, independent television groups were important to the country. "A change in ownership must not lead to a restriction of journalistic independence. Media power is never neutral - whoever buys it bears political responsibility," he added. A German government source said the government also wanted to ensure that ProSieben's headquarters remained in Germany and jobs were protected. A spokesperson for the Berlusconi family's MFE-MediaForEurope ( opens new tab declined to comment. Pier Silvio Berlusconi heads the media empire of his late father Silvio Berlusconi, who served as Italy's prime minister in three separate stints from 1994-2011. The elder Berlusconi's critics at the time accused him of using his control over Italian media properties to further his political aims. MFE-MediaForEurope owns around 30% of ProSieben. It made a cash-and-share bid for the German group in March as part of a push to create a pan-European broadcaster. That move triggered an all-cash counter-bid by ProSieben's second-largest investor PPF ( which owns private TV stations across six Eastern European countries. ProSieben called that counter-bid financially "inadequate", and Berlusconi has said his company may yet raise its bid.
