Silverwood: 'We are looking for potential investors'

James Silverwood from the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust says they are looking for potential investors to purchase the club outright from Dejphon Chansiri or invest some funds into the club.

He also said that they have looked at a subscription service in case of the club going into administration and want to give the fans a chance to invest.

"In the scenario of administration there has to be a fan investment opportunity on the table and a fan takeover on the table to stop another bad owner coming in," Silverwood told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"The reality in Championship football is that fan owned clubs are not a realistic proposition.

"What we're trying to do now is raise a sum of capital to allow us to help a consortium, the right consortium take charge of the club."
