When Dejphon Chansiri's wife was named as director of Sheffield Wednesday's parent company
It was thought that Tipparut Chansiri only recently joined the board of the Hong Kong-based company after the change was listed on Companies House earlier this month.

As for on the pitch, Wednesday are currently in sixth position after their superb victory at Leeds United.
