Dejphon Chansiri, the chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, has stated that there was no disagreement about the club's hiring practices when Darren Moore left his position as manager.
Just three weeks after leading Wednesday back into the Championship through the play-offs after a two-year absence, Moore left Hillsborough on Monday.
The club said that the 49-year-old left of his own free will, although rumors suggest that the chairman and the former manager were at odds over the lack of support during the January transfer window.
Despite Moore's need for reinforcements, Wednesday only made one addition throughout the window—defender Aden Flint joined on loan from Stoke—while they were second at the beginning of the month and unbeaten since early October.
They lost steam after a six-game losing streak in March and April, missing out on automatic promotion.
Chansiri responded to inquiries from fans on the club's website by stating: "Let me make it clear that Darren's departure had nothing to do with our recruitment process."That holds true for both the transfer window in January and the procedure we'll use in the summer window. "Regarding January, the recruitment team - of which the manager has always been a member since I was here - set goals. It also had nothing to do with budgets for the upcoming season.I thought we were a Championship team competing in League One, but obviously if the manager wants to bolster the team.
We had a major hiring drive last summer, and I think the squad was strong enough to get promoted.
Following the conclusion of the 2021–22 season, Wednesday added 10 permanent first-team players and three loan players after their initial effort to leave League One was thwarted by Sunderland in the play-off semifinal.
Those regrets were put to rest by a remarkable comeback at the same stage in May, when they overcame a 4-0 first-leg loss to Peterborough to advance to the final, where Josh Windass scored in extra time to defeat Barnsley at Wembley.
