A reporter has now shared the latest news about sheffield wednesday‘s takeover, in the process setting new “expected” deadlines for the Owls.
Who’s in the running for Sheffield Wednesday?
Sheffield Wednesday are more than 10 days behind the original soft deadline of December 5, but Kris Wigfield confirmed earlier this month that things were moving in the right direction.
this co-admin says December 5: “As previously outlined, the Administrator set a target to name a preferred bidder by today. The target was designed to create momentum and it certainly achieved this.
“We have received a number of strong, credible offers. This interest is very positive for Sheffield Wednesday’s future.
Responsibly narrowing the field to a preferred bidder has proven impossible today for a variety of reasons.
“We understand supporters’ desire for clarification and we share the sense of urgency, but this stage of the process is critical. We must:
• Maximize returns to creditors; and
• Find the right long-term boss for Sheffield Wednesday.
“Hurrying into this phase will serve no purpose. Discussions with bidders remain active, detailed and constructive and momentum has not slowed.”
Mike Keegan has since dropped a new report Regarding the three candidates who have submitted bids to the club at this stage. According to a reporter from the Daily Mail, Mike Ashley, Dunfermline Athletic co-owner James Border and an American consortium composed of John McEvoy and the Storch family have all made bids for Sheffield Wednesday.
The Owls have set their offer at £30m, but it’s not as simple as welcoming the highest bidder. The people of Hillsborough will be desperate to avoid another disastrous ownership and must get things done.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Stars’ Alex Miller has also provided some positive news for Sheffield Wednesday this week, sharing a “key” takeover update.

According to Miller, Final offer to buy Sheffield Wednesday ‘expected’ to arrive on Wednesday As the acquisition enters a “critical phase”. According to reports, things could move forward quickly, which can only be seen as positive news for the Owls.
The reporter said on X: “Understand Sheffield Wednesday’s takeover race is entering a crucial stage – with best and final bids expected to be fully replenished on Wednesday. Although there are many permutations, things are likely to move quickly.”
Wednesday is sure to bring a boost ahead of the New Year. On the pitch, it’s no surprise that they have struggled since entering administration and relegation to the First Division is all but certain.
It remains to be seen whether the new boss retains faith in Henrik Pedersen ahead of a move to the First Division next season. Even as the ship welcomes water around him, he remains where he is, and this loyalty can be rewarded.
