American investor John Textor wants to buy Sheffield Wednesday: details of a potential deal

According to The Sun: John Textor is trying to attract investors to save the club 'Sheffield Wednesday', which has found itself in a difficult situation.

The American is looking for partners to quickly finalize a deal with the club's owner, Dejphon Chansiri.

Chansiri is currently abroad but is ready to meet with Textor.

However, the likelihood of a meeting in London this week seems unlikely.

Textor sold his shares in 'Crystal Palace', but now represents the interests of wealthy investors.

The Championship club risks receiving penalty points from the EFL and could face sanctions if it does not pay the next salary installment.

The Owls are having a hard time finding a buyer.

One American group backed out of the deal due to the risk of the club's relegation.

Protests from Fans

Fans of 'Sheffield Wednesday' have protested against Chansiri throughout the season, including the first weekend of the campaign in an away match against Leicester.

The fans did not occupy their seats at the King Power Stadium until the fifth minute, which drew applause from the opposition.

Due to the delay, many of them missed a goal scored in the 26th minute.

At this moment, 'Sheffield Wednesday' is in 23rd place in the Championship table with only one point from four matches.

This result came after a 2-2 draw with 'Wrexham'.

On Saturday, the team suffered defeat again, losing 2-0 at home to 'Swansea'.

Despite the negative attitude towards Chansiri at Hillsborough, Textor has also become unpopular at 'Selhurst Park'.

Textor sold his 43% stake in the 'Eagles' to Woody Johnson at the beginning of the summer.

His involvement in the club, despite strained relations with Steve Parish, prevented 'Palace' from competing in the Europa League due to his ownership of 'Lyon'.

The 'Owls' fans continue to protest against the current management.

The situation at the club remains tense, and the lack of clarity with investors may only worsen the situation. As the team continues to lose, the fans are expressing their discontent, adding further pressure on the management. Textor's next moves could be crucial for the future of 'Sheffield Wednesday'.
