"According to Alan Nixon, via his Patreon, former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is once again attempting to aggressively negotiate a cut-price to deal to buy Sheffield Wednesday. However, with Ashley having now made an offer for the South Yorkshire giants, Nixon has reported that insiders at the club have described it as 'very low'."
"Ashley was left regretting his decision to not upweight his offers for Derby County during their administration troubles, and instead his low ball offer for the Rams was also rejected. Ashley was laughed off by the administrators at Hillsborough when Bord came in with a deal that Nixon describes as 'stupidly high'."
Sheffield Wednesday has been mathematically relegated to League One following a difficult season both on and off the pitch. The club remains in administration after owner Dejphon Chansiri departed, with no completed takeover despite multiple attempts. Manager Henrik Pedersen replaced Danny Rohl but could not sustain early season momentum. James Bord, a former Sheffield United analyst and professional poker player, saw his takeover fall through. Now Mike Ashley, the former Newcastle United owner, is attempting to negotiate a significantly reduced purchase price. Ashley reportedly made an offer described as 'very low' by club insiders, learning from his previous experience with Derby County's administration.
