Hong Kong businessman, Carson Yeung, is understood to be interested in buying English football club Sheffield Wednesday.

Chinese consortium in Owls talks
Sheffield Wednesday have debts of around £26m
Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed talks are continuing with a Chinese
consortium about a summer takeover.
Owls chairman Dave Allen held a meeting with a Chinese party, headed by a
multi-millionaire casino owner, before Tuesday's game with Plymouth.
A club spokesman said: "They have been talking again with the chairman.
Dialogue is ongoing.
"There are a number of other parties that have been in contact about the
possibility of investing money."
Allen, chairman at Hillsborough since 2003, first revealed he was keen to
hand over control to someone who could wipe out the club's £26m debts at
the turn of the year.
He said at the time: "We are not looking for small-time people, we are
looking for a mega-rich businessman like Roman Abramovich at Chelsea, who
want to buy a football club for a hobby.
"This man has made money from casinos overseas and has vast wealth." |
