Well I went on twitter and seen Mike ashley trending , had a look and it's a load of Sheffield United fans saying it's him buying the club
Oh I've just seen what looks like some trolling about making something to do with WC to flog.

Who's club?
Are they being sold or do they think it's us?

I know there are rules about dual club ownership, but can he own a club, and the ground of another club ?
He's probs been at the WC while the coptor was parked up for two weeks doing a deal.

There’s still a conflict of interest, so it will probably take all of 5 seconds for the EFL to approve it.

Can’t see owning a building affects owning a football club and officially it’s the Fraser group who own the CBS not Ashley. interesting though if true what the EFL stance on this one might be. Reckon Ashley for Sheffield is just a fan led rumour.

He doesn't own the CBS however. Frasers do, and he stepped away from the board.

Has to be one of the best quips ever on tv.
Think SU are going to court over a supposed £10M unpaid deposit, good luck with that.Just read about this proposed take over someone was in for Sheffield earlier but EFL refused to allow it because the buyers couldn’t satisfy the EFL with their business plan going forward

Pro's cons, might let the ground go for that quick profit.
Cons Always the bridesmaid, who doesn't want a loaded owner regardless of the politics.
Sell your soul for the ackers?

I think there is a sell on clause if he sells within 12 months at a profit

Though it does raise the question of how the club keeps going if the takeover is delayed, for whatever reason, especially if the delay takes us in to the transfer window.

Bar to compare us against.
Bournemouth just taken over by an American. Premier League approved it very recently. Suggestions he made the application in October and he's been approved in the last week or so. He'll take over the Chairmanship on 31 December, 2022. So approximately 2 months.
Let's see how quickly EFL can get ours done.... Though to date, I think Sheff Utd's change in ownership will probably happen quicker
