- Fans and insolvency advisers have combined fundraising and outreach, with Begbies Traynor appealing for support, as supporters spent more than 500,000 and raised 10,000 in an hour.
- The club now sit on-10 points and rock bottom of the Championship, with that total leaving Sheffield Wednesday FC 27 points from safety and effectively all but doomed for relegation.
- Administrators say the takeover process is progressing toward naming a preferred bidder, with several bidders showing interest, while last week The Star reported the club's listed EFL breaches were reduced as standard procedure.
