The takeover of Sheffield Wednesday by Hafiz Mammadov has given new hope to Owls fans, although the owner’s ambition of a return to the Premier League may take a while to achieve.
Mammadov also ownes Baku of Azerbajan and French club Lens. The deal is worth about £35 and is subject to ratification by the Football League. His company specialises in oil, gas, construction and transporation in Azerbajan.
