As reported by The Guardian [11 August] John Textor is teaming up with Keith Harris, a football financer, to try and buy Sheffield Wednesday.

Palace have since been demoted to the Europa Conference League and Textor has sold his shares in the South London club.

Meanwhile, Sportsbank will not be used to fund Sheffield Wednesday, with Harris working with Textor to find money from elsewhere.

Current Sheffield Wednesday owner Chansiri has yet to sell the club.

The players and fans showed spirit and unity at the King Power and nearly pulled off a shock opening day result when they took the lead in the first half through a Nathaniel Chalobah strike.

The Yorkshire club have potential, with a passionate fan base and a stadium boasting more than 30,000 seats in the second tier.

Textor and Harris’ plans to takeover the club currently seem a non-starter amid the latter’s need for investment from outside Sportsbank.

Chansiri must lower that price if he wants to sell, otherwise a difficult situation for Wednesday will drag on.

On the pitch there fate already looks sealed as things stand though the club’s transfer embargo has been lifted, allowing new manager Henrik Pedersen to sign free agents.
