BBC Radio Sheffield is reporting that Sheffield Wednesday are directing parties interested in buying the club to a professional team with a proven track record of selling football clubs, with the aim of completing a takeover.
It marks a change to the club's previous position, with what business insiders consider to be 'proper process' for the sale of a club now taking place.
According to sources, NDA's (non-disclosure agreements) are being signed with interested parties, proof of funds requested and a data room (a virtual secure space to share sensitive documents) has been set up. Financial and management information is being made available.
This is an apparent shift in position by owner Dejphon Chansiri who, in a statement to supporters on 12 April, said: "The word means more to me than the paper – there is no reason for an NDA or similar when that trust could easily be broken.
"I can say there was no NDA in place when I bought our club from Milan (Mandaric). The deal was done on trust from start to finish and behind the scenes, which is the correct and professional thing to do."
It is believed the lack of proper process in the past has been a stumbling block when interested parties have approached the club. One member of a consortium interested in buying Wednesday described negotiations with the Thai owner as "the most unique" he'd experienced in his business career.
We understand there is more than one interested party and sources believe a sale can be completed without the need for administration. The aim is to do so in weeks rather than months due to the cashflow issues at Hillsborough.
Non-football staff are still waiting for their wages to be paid in full for June, after experiencing the same issue in May. Communication was made to staff on Friday with the club saying they are trying to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, some Owls players have handed their notice in after delayed payment of wages for two consecutive months.
The club is currently under three separate English Football League embargoes - one for breaking regulations on unpaid players, one relating to HM Revenue & Customs reporting and the other for non-payment of transfer fees. The Owls have also been issued a three-transfer window restriction on paying fees.
Chansiri revealed in a statement recently he had rejected an offer of £40m plus "limited future Premier League promotion payments" from a consortium.
The news that 'proper process' is now taking place could increase the chances of a sale.
