Chicago-based group swoop for Owls

Sheffield Wednesday may have been relegated to League 1, but a Chicago-based investment group is ready to swoop for the Owls.   Contacts with Chicago links have never heard of Club-9 sports, but they could be a bespoke outfit forned for the Wednesday takeover.

Sheffield Wednesday may have been relegated to League 1, but a Chicago-based investment group is ready to swoop for the Owls.   Contacts with Chicago links have never heard of Club-9 sports, but they could be a bespoke outfit forned for the Wednesday takeover.


They reckon that given some investment Wednesday have all the ingredients to become a Premier League outfit.   They certainly have a proud history and a fine if somewhat old fashioned stadium.  They are, however, one of two clubs in a not particularly large or prosperous city which is best known in sporting terms for its annual hosting of the snooker championships.   Nevertheless, perhaps the surge in support for Sheffield MP Nick Clegg may be a good omen for the city’s clubs.
