Consortium withdraws Owls takeover bid - have your say
- Published
The consortium that was looking to complete a takeover of Sheffield Wednesday has withdrawn from the process, meaning administrators need to find another buyer.
Former professional poker player and Dunfermline co-owner James Bord was named as the preferred bidder alongside Felix Romer and Alsharif Faisal Bin Jamil two months ago.
Romer is a German-born entrepreneur best known for his achievements in the online consumer sector, including finance technology, gambling and software.
Bin Jamil is said to be a member of the Jordanian royal family who is a board member at Dunfermline and Spanish second division club Cordoba.
The trio are all involved in Bord's sports analytics business Short Circuit Science.
Another consortium led by American businessman David Storch said on Tuesday it was still interested in buying the club, which has been in administration since October following 10 years under the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri.
Are you pleased or disappointed that the consortium led by Bord has pulled out?
Which direction would you like the club ownership to take?
