Owls' woes significant - regulator

UNSUITABLE owners could be forced to sell football clubs, the chairman of the new independent regulator has said.

David Kogan, who was appointed on Monday, also labelled Sheffield Wednesday's perilous situation a “significant problem” and said the regulator is seeking powers to investigate clubs in such predicaments.

Wednesday - who host Boro in the league following a game at The Riverside against Ipswich after the international break - have been placed under various embargoes amid tax debts and after failing to pay players and staff on time on five separate occasions this year, including last month.

Kogan this week met four supporter groups associated with the beleaguered Owls.
