Exciting Sheffield Wednesday takeover update revealed - Chansiri era could end soon | OneFootball

Multiple parties from the UK, USA, and Monaco are circling as interest grows in Owls takeover

Sheffield Wednesday have officially been placed on the market, with multiple parties reportedly interested in purchasing the club, according to The Sheffield Star.

As financial pressures mount at Hillsborough, momentum is building behind a potential change in ownership that could mark a turning point in the club’s recent struggles.

The Owls are working with a professional advisory firm known for successfully brokering football club sales, and credible interest is already emerging.

BBC Radio Sheffield has reported that a dedicated team is overseeing enquiries, with at least one key figure involved understood to have played a central role in completing deals in both the Premier League and EFL.

John Textor among names linked as Owls attract international attention

Several groups are now believed to be weighing up bids, including two from the United States and another with links to Monaco.

American billionaire John Textor - whose football portfolio includes a stint involved with Crystal Palace and clubs in France and Brazil - is one of the most high-profile figures to be linked to a potential bid.

While the identities of all interested parties remain undisclosed, reports suggest that competition for ownership could intensify quickly, with The Sheffield Star forecasting a “scramble” to secure a deal.

The timeline for a takeover remains uncertain, but given the club’s current position, the EFL may consider expediting the process.

Triple embargo, unpaid wages, and growing pressure behind the scenes - the current situation at Sheffield Wednesday

The urgency of a sale is underscored by Wednesday’s dire financial situation.

The club remains under a triple transfer embargo regarding unpaid player wages, late payment to HMRC and non-payment of transfer fees.

Several first team players have already issued 15-day notices regarding their unpaid wages, with deadlines now just days away.

Fans, growing increasingly frustrated by years of mismanagement, would welcome new ownership capable of addressing deep-rooted financial and structural issues.

As the Owls enter a defining period, clarity over ownership could be the first step toward long overdue stability at Hillsborough.
