Ten parties show proof of funds to buy Sheff Wed

BBC Radio Sheffield understands that 10 parties have now provided proof of funds to administrators at Sheffield Wednesday, as the process of finding a buyer for the club continues.

On Monday a second party was shown around the Championship club's Hillsborough Stadium home, after an initial potential buyer was given a tour last Wednesday.

A soft deadline of Friday, 21 November - 28 days from when they were placed into administration on 24 October - has been set for offers to be given to the club.

There will then be a two-week negotiating period with a deadline of Friday, 5 December set to determine preferred bidder status.

In order for a deal to be completed, a buyer would then need to satisfy the EFL's Fit and Proper test plus complete due diligence.

Wednesday are bottom of the second tier on minus four points after being automatically deducted 12 points by the English Football League for entering administration.

They welcome Steel City rivals Sheffield United in their next match on Sunday, 23 November.
