After a terrible few years under Dejphon Chansiri, Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping to change ownership in the coming months. The Owls have had a terrible spell, having gone into administration last month, and the 12-point deduction that followed practically doomed them to League One football next season.

The administrators of Sheffield Wednesday are awaiting formal offers from bidders, with 11 parties reportedly showing proof of funding.

Sheffield Wednesday, Hillsborough While we don’t know who is interested, US billionaire John McEvoy has already stated that he wants to buy the Owls. In addition, the Sheffield Star reports that he visited Hillsborough Stadium and the Middlewood training base in the United Kingdom this week. It should be noted that he is not the only party to have toured the facilities; another US group has also visited, but it does demonstrate that he is genuinely interested in purchasing Wednesday.

Mike Ashley and Charlie Methven’s positions on Sheffield Wednesday takeover revealed Mike Ashley As previously said, there are numerous negotiations taking place behind the scenes with potential buyers, some of whom are well-known to football aficionados. According to the Sheffield Star, ex-Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is among those who have expressed an interest in buying the club. Given how his time at Newcastle went, it’s safe to conclude that Wednesday fans are unlikely to be overjoyed about Ashley owning the club. Meanwhile, Charlie Methven has been identified as part of a consortium looking to buy the Owls. However, the same update states that the former Sunderland part-owner, who has also been involved at Charlton, and his company are no longer interested in a purchase.
Sheffield Wednesday takeover deadlines loom
This is a continuous process for Sheffield Wednesday, but things should begin to take shape in the coming several weeks. For starters, November 21st is a significant date because it marks 28 days since the club went into administration, and all official offers for the club must be made by then. After that, December 5th is another date for fans to remember, as the administration will use that two-week time to select a favored bidder. By that point, it should be evident who the preferred bidder is, and they will work to finalise a deal for the club. That will require passing the EFL Fit and Proper Persons exam, as well as other inspections, so it may be some time before the new owner takes over.
