INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n<p>Jordan said: \u201cThey need to appeal it and find a better solution to it than ultimately being stopped from being able to buy players. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure they will put their best foot forward and present a plan to the EFL which shows them meeting all their obligations.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jordan went on to explain who he thinks should be lining up an offer to take over the club. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a club that I think have a huge opportunity which is why I was trying to get the Saudis to buy it,\u201d Jordan claimed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was talking to John Textor the other day, if he comes out of Palace I was saying to him that\u2019s the football club you should be buying if you want to buy another English club.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jordan then explained why he believes there is big potential in the club and states that Wednesday are purely in trouble due to the owner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is a club you can buy and get huge momentum behind,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt in my mind that a properly run Sheffield Wednesday with proper energy, proper momentum, proper policies, proper disciplines, proper focus on what it was doing should be a football club operating at the top end of the Championship and looking at the Premier League.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\"

Wednesday in tough circumstances (Credit: Imago)<strong>Future bleak unless Chansiri departs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Football Insider verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday were founding members of the Premier League in 1992, but the club have not played in the top flight since dropping out of the division in 2000.  <\/p>\n<p>When Chansiri bought the club in 2015, he promised Premier League football would come to Hillsborough by 2017. <\/p>\n<p>They agonisingly lost 1-0 to Hull City in the 2015\/16 play-off final at Wembley and have not come close since to returning to where the club believes it should be. <\/p>\n<p>In the financial turmoil of recent times, manager Danny Rohl has done a remarkable job to keep Wednesday afloat in the Championship. <\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Games
