Sheffield Wednesday fans are eagerly anticipating positive news regarding a potential takeover of the football club.
The Owls ended a turbulent period of ownership when Dejphon Chansiri sailed off under a grey cloud, placing the club into administration.
Wednesday were deducted another six points last week to take the club to -10 for the campaign and League One football is practically certain for next season.
With Watford to face next in the league, a reputable and renowned journalist has delivered an update on the administrators potentially naming a preferred buyer.

The Wednesday situation is set to be an intriguing one, and now, Sky Sports’ lead journalist, Dorsett, has shared some more information on the pending takeover.
It does appear as though some parties aren’t keen on the outlay that will need to be paid to Chansiri, with Simon Jordan already walking away on that basis.
Dorsett has delivered a bit of bad news regarding the timescale for things to take place, with a preferred bidder now seemingly unlikely before the end of this week.
Wednesday will have a match to focus on this week anyway and the hope will be that more news can be delivered next week with regards to the takeover.
What do you make of Rob Dorsett’s comments on our pending takeover?
The Owls are awaiting to discover who the administrators will pick as the preferred bidder
Delayed final offers from some would-be #swfc buyers mean “preferred bidder” status unlikely before the end of this week. Several parties still doing deep dive on the accounts, and some dislike the idea of paying Chansiri £15m as part of the deal. But £30m+ fee still good value.

Wednesday takeover can’t come soon enough
Although this season in terms of remaining in the Championship is pretty much done and dusted, Wednesday have much bigger fish to fry.
With League One set to welcome Wednesday back next year, it’s vital that any new owners come in with a clear and concise recruitment plan to get the Owls firing back into the second tier.

Dorsett’s comments aren’t great news, it has to be said, and it would appear that Chansiri is still indirectly causing some issues for the football club.
The Chansiri chapter can’t close soon enough, and any new owner has to be capable of forming a bond and a rapport with the long-suffering supporters of the football club.
