An insider at Sheffield Wednesday has revealed that the squad has a clear preference in the ongoing takeover saga. According to sources, the players are overwhelmingly in favor of Gina Rinehart assuming ownership of the club.
The reasoning, insiders say, is twofold. First, the players believe Rinehart brings a genuine passion for football and a long-term vision that aligns with the club’s ambitions. Second, they see her financial capability as a crucial factor in revitalizing the squad, improving infrastructure, and returning Wednesday to a position of prominence in English football.
This internal alignment mirrors recent fan sentiment, where a majority of supporters approximately 60% in recent polls have expressed a preference for the Australian billionaire over rival bidder Mike Ashley, citing concerns over Ashley’s prior tenure at Newcastle United.
The revelation underscores the growing consensus both on and off the pitch: fans and players alike are hoping for a new era of investment, stability, and ambition under Rinehart’s potential ownership.
Club officials have yet to comment publicly on the players’ views, but the disclosure adds another layer to the already intense discussions surrounding the future leadership of Sheffield Wednesday.
