The Owls are currently on the market after being placed into administration, ending the calamitous ownership of Dejphon Chansiri. Simon Jordan was invovled in consortium to return to English football club ownership

Despite their challenging financial situation, Wednesday are thought to have attracted around 80 interested parties.

Most notably, ex-Newcastle owner Mike Ashley submitted a £20m offer, which falls £10m short of the asking price.
