Michael Vaughan believes that ‘someone like Mike Ashley’ would be ideal for Sheffield Wednesday.

Having supported the Owls since being a kid, the former England Cricket Captain hoping for a new owner that can revive the club after the damage done by Dejphon Chansiri.

The truth is of course that whilst Chansiri might be the very worst that Sheffield Wednesday fans have experienced, the club has been mismanaged for a long time.

We have of course been here a number of times previously, when clubs such as Derby County, Coventry City and others have been on their knees, those in the media and indeed many fans of these clubs, wanting to believe that Mike Ashley is the answer to their hopes, rather than the stuff of nightmares.

Mike Ashley hasn’t carried through and bought any of these ailing clubs since he left Newcastle United on 7 October 2021, but like he does so often with ailing retail brands/companies that are on their knees and can be picked up as a potential bargain, it does appear clear that Ashley has shown interest in at least a couple of these desperate lower league clubs in recent years.
