Crazy wage arrears + a lot of foreign debt! Xie Fans plan to rent a plane and pull banners to protest against Thai boss on Wednesday
The Mirror reported that Xie fans plan to rent a plane banner during the season opening match against Leicester City to send a clear signal of protest to his boss Chasily.
This troubled Championship team has fallen into chaos at the beginning of the new season, and the Thai boss repeatedly owed players and staff salaries, which has aroused public anger. Fans have reached their limits, and the club's supporter trust has raised more than £13,000 to organize protests, with the first wave of action set to appear against Leicester City this Sunday.
Despite the worrying situation of the team, Xie still sold out 3,300 away team tickets. Expedition fans have promised to collectively refuse to sit and express protests five minutes before the opening, and an aircraft carrying protest signs is expected to hover over the Royal Trustee Stadium 15 minutes before the start.
It is reported that Sky Sports has been informed of the protest plan and has promised to pay attention to Xie’s plight on Wednesday. As fans stay in the stands in the opening stages, huge protest banners will be unfolded on the scene seats. The supporter trust vowed to continue protests until Chasili stepped down and plans to upgrade the action in his first home game against Stoke next Saturday.
Xie Wednesday has only 16 first-team players left, many of whom have submitted notices of leaving the team due to repeated wage arrears. Although the club has sold several players to raise funds, the crisis has not eased. Wendas and Smith both exercised terms and left the team freely last month, although the club has triggered a renewal option in their contract.
The North Stand of the Stadium was sealed by the authorities due to safety risks, and the season ticket holders have not yet learned about the first round home resettlement plan. The team temporarily canceled its friendly match with Burnley last week, and players hinted that if the salary issues were not resolved, they may strike again, but it is reported that the match against Leicester City this Sunday is tentatively scheduled to be held as scheduled. Due to the arrears of transfer fees from other clubs, Xie will still face a registration ban on the next three transfer windows on Wednesday.
