Sheffield Wednesday have been in administration since 24 October Three members of the consortium selected as the preferred bidder to buy Sheffield Wednesday have been revealed. The consortium describe themselves as a privately-funded group of investors led by James Bord and Felix Romer, while Alsharif Faisal Bin Jamil is described as the consortium's chief executive. Bord founded Short Circuit Science, a sports analytics business which provides advanced modelling and decision support for multiple professional football clubs. He completed a takeover of Scottish Championship side Dunfermline last year and is said to have been involved in football ownership across several European clubs. Romer is described as a German-born entrepreneur best known for his achievements in the online consumer sector - including finance technology, gambling and software. He is a shareholder in Short Circuit Science alongside Bord. Bin Jamil is said to be a member of the Jordanian royal family. His Linked In account shows he is a board member at Dunfermline and at Spanish second division club Cordoba. He is also the group CEO of Short Circuit Science. Wednesday have been in administration since late October, which effectively ended the reign of previous owner Dejphon Chansiri.
