Milan Mandaric rules out Sheffield Wednesday takeover bid, cites ‘several other interested parties'

Former owner Milan Mandaric will not try to lead a rescue bid for crisis-stricken Championship side Sheffield Wednesday following talks with his family and UK-based advisors, the 86-year-old Serbian-American businessman has confirmed. Last week, in an interview with BBC Radio Sheffield, Mandaric suggested that he was ready to explore the 'possibility' of a takeover, as the South Yorkshire side need a 'big rescue'. Advertisement But having flown to London from his California base on Monday, the serial club-owner has issued a statement to say he is not in a position to buy the club. Mandaric sold Wednesday to Dejphon Chansiri in 2015 and had hoped to meet the Thai businessman to discuss a way out of the club's grave financial problems this week, but Chansiri declined the invitation. In truth, Mandaric was never in a position to buy the club back from Chansiri and what he was really proposing was a temporary takeover, with the Thai's consent, to stabilise the four-time English champions so they would be more attractive to new investors. But, with Chansiri refusing to engage with the idea, it was a non-starter. 'I am of course very concerned about the current situation the club finds itself in,' said Mandaric in a written statement. 'However, on reflection I feel it would not be in the best interest of finding the long-term solution we all want for me to explore further my heartfelt desire to assist at this crucial time for the club. 'I have several projects I am currently working on outside the UK and I do not believe I could devote the time it would take to return the club to the healthy condition I left it in a decade ago when Mr. Chansiri took over ownership from me.' Mandaric, who has owned or co-owned at least 10 different clubs in six different countries during a remarkable career in football, is currently involved in a hotel project in Slovenia, where he has also been looking for a new club to invest in after recent spells in charge at Olimpija Ljubljana and Vojvodina. His statement continued by saying he was aware that there are 'several interested parties' who are trying to buy Wednesday and he did not want his involvement 'to either slow down or hinder these discussions'. As previously reported by The Athletic, there are two U.S.-based groups currently in talks with Chansiri's representatives. Of those two only the one led by Sheffield-born businessman Adam Shaw and American real estate investor John Flanagan has chosen to go public. Contrary to recent reports, Lyon majority shareholder John Textor has not entered the race and is unlikely to do so while the French club try to overturn their relegation to Ligue 2 for financial issues. In the meantime, Sheffield Wednesday have recently been given a three-window transfer embargo for breaking English Football League rules on late payment of wages. And with this month's payday looming, fears are mounting that Chansiri will fail to pay players and staff on time for a third time in four months. There is also the next tax bill to settle, a new training-ground pitch to lay, stadium repairs to complete and pre-season fixtures to organise — Wednesday's problems are piling up. Advertisement If there is any good news, it appears that Chansiri's family, which owns the world's largest tuna manufacturer Thai Union Group, has taken control of the Sheffield Wednesday sale process by appointing a highly-respected London-based lawyer to engage with bidders. Mandaric, who has also owned Portsmouth and Leicester City in the past, concluded his statement by saying he would continue to follow Sheffield Wednesday's fortunes and would be happy to help Chansiri in any way he could. He also thanked the Wednesday fans who had contacted him but said he would not be making any further public comments. There is one concrete way that the former owner could help his old club and it was alluded to in his BBC radio interview. When Mandaric sold the team to Chansiri he negotiated a bonus payment of £8million if Wednesday are promoted to the Premier League and a further £2m if they can then stay up for more than one season. Unlike most such deals, this one is open-ended and would be passed on to any new owner. This is the £10m that Mandaric told the BBC he was still owed. Chansiri has previously asked him to drop this claim on the club and Mandaric has told him he would be willing to discuss it, but Chansiri has not taken him up on that offer. Sheffield Wednesday, one of England's oldest and best-supported clubs, were founder members of the Premier League but were relegated in 2000 and have spent the last 25 years yo-yoing between the second and third tiers.

Rayner refuses to repeat chancellor's pledge on tax hikes

Angela Rayner has refused to repeat Rachel Reeves' pledge that taxes will not be increased at the next budget. Standing in for Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs, the deputy prime minister was pressed on warnings to fund the chancellor's spending plans. Politics Live: The Tories want a commitment that this will not be the case in order to support the government's welfare bill, which is under threat from a Shadow chancellor Mel stride, standing in for Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, said even if the planned benefit cuts go through, "almost every respected economist now says tax rises are all but inevitable in the autumn". He said Ms Reeves promised after her last budget that this will not be the case and asked Ms Rayner to give "certainty" to businesses and repeat that pledge. Ms Rayner said the question was "a bit rich" given the Tories raised taxes to record highs before the last election, adding: "I take no lectures". Mr Stride pressed her on analysis from the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) that local authorities will have to raise council tax to the maximum level allowed to pay for local services. He said: "The IFS says that the spending review will mean the biggest council tax increases in a generation. "A £7bn tax rise and yet the chancellor and the prime minister have repeatedly claimed that the government will not raise taxes on working people. So can I ask... why doesn't she think the council tax is paid by working people?" Ms Rayner again attacked the Tories' record, saying he had "absolute nerve" as council tax "rose every single year under that government". She said Labour was "delivering money for local government, when they had austerity, put taxes up and ruined the British economy". Ms Reeves unveiled her spending review earlier this month, which outlined how much day-to-day funding government departments will get over the next three years, along with capital spending for longer-term projects. The chancellor has insisted her plans are fully funded, but Paul Johnson, director of the IFS, has said she has left herself such little headroom that "any move in the wrong direction" for the economy would "almost certainly spark more tax rises". Any tax hikes would likely spark a backlash given Ms Reeves' said last November that there would be following her decision to raise employer National Insurance in the autumn budget. The government is facing further trouble as a key part of the spending review was a package of reforms aimed at by 2030. However, an unprecedented rebellion of over 100 MPs is threatening that legislation, which is due to be voted on next Tuesday. Ms Rayner today insisted the vote will go ahead. She said: "I'll tell the right honourable member why we're pressing ahead with our reforms. "That is because we're investing £1 billion into tailored employment support, a right to try to help more people back into work and ending reassessments for the most severely disabled who will never be able to work. "We won't walk away and stand by and abandon millions of people trapped in the failing system left behind by him and his colleagues."

Brewdog IPO ‘not on radar for now, says CEO'

BrewDog is reportedly not making steps towards launching an IPO at the moment, according to its CEO. In a report from The Times, BrewDog's chief James Taylor said an Initial Public Offering (IPO) was "not on the agenda at the moment', as the company announced a return to profitability for the first time since 2021. The company, which confirmed Taylor's comments to Just Drinks, said that Taylor remained "focused on strategy and delivery". BrewDog's former boss and co-founder James Watt had reportedly been considering an IPO for years, but detailed plans on the flotation have been few and far between. In 2022, Watt announced plans to donate 20% of shares in the Scottish brewer, but noted the shares were unable to be traded, given the firm's plan to launch an IPO had been delayed due to 'market uncertainty'. For the period ended 31 December 2024, the Elvis Juice brewer booked adjusted EBITDA of £7.5m, a 400% hike on its £2.5m loss in 2023. 2024 gross revenue however was relatively flat, declining 2.4% on the year prior to £357m. Net revenue reached £280m. Speaking on the results, CEO James Taylor said: '2024 was a transformative year for BrewDog, and I am pleased to report the company has returned to profitability for the first time in several years. After a challenging 2023, we streamlined operations and improved our efficiency across our global footprint, which had a tangible impact on our bottom line. "While our topline revenue growth slowed, we remain at historic highs demonstrating the continued appeal of our brilliant beers, the power of our brand, and the strong appetite for quality craft beer – especially in the UK where we achieved our highest ever share of the beer market and in Australia, which saw revenue growth of 34%." The Times also reported that Taylor said the company would see a pre-tax loss in 2024. BrewDog did not disclose pre-tax loss figures for the year but confirmed to Just Drinks that there was no dividend for 2024. James Taylor was promoted from CFO to CEO in March, replacing James Arrow who stepped down from the company after less than a year in the position. At the time, the Black Heart brand owner said Taylor would bring 'a wealth of financial and strategic expertise' to the role, having managed its financial operations at a point 'of significant transformation, including the return of the business to profitability in 2024'. Prior to holding the CFO role at BrewDog, Taylor also held senior leadership positions at childcare company Mayborn Group. The appointment, BrewDog said represents 'a seamless transition' as it focuses on 'profitability, global bar expansion and innovation in the beer market'. "Brewdog IPO 'not on radar for now, says CEO'" was originally created and published by Just Drinks, a GlobalData owned brand.
