Things have been up in the air with regards to whether either would be returning to Hillsborough once they had recovered from injury – Wayne Rooney admitted that he wasn’t sure on Marriott, with Derby having a January recall clause – and it appears a definite decision has still not been made.

When The Star asked about the duo, Chansiri said, “I don’t know yet… I think Flint needs to go, but the other I’m not sure yet.”

Given the fact that a new manager will soon come in to replace the fired Tony Pulis, Chansiri may be looking to give the new manager some wiggle room in the transfer market, which may be made easier if Flint and Marriott were no longer on the squad list.

Chansiri explained that he would still try to get some work done in the window as the seek to bring in some new faces, but admitted that finding a new manager was currently the number one priority for the club, and something that must be done ‘as soon as possible’.

Wednesday face Derby County tomorrow as they seek to get 2021 off to a winning start.
