ZIMBABWE international Sean Fusire could be going through a difficult period in his career.
The Sheffield Wednesday star, who was on target in their 2-1 defeat to Oxford United over the weekend, is trying to deliver his best at a time the club is in turmoil.
They were recently put on administration and points deducted as a result.
As things stand, they are favourites to be relegated while at the same time a possible takeover has not been finalised.
Sheffield Wednesday’s joint administrator says they have “four or five” serious bidders and the club could have new owners by the end of the year.
Kris Wigfield is leading the search for new ownership after Dejphon Chansiri put the Championship club into administration on Friday.
Wigfield says the Owls have to remain on the market for 28 days under EFL rules and claims they have already received concrete interest.
He told BBC 5 Live’s Wake Up to Money programme he hopes the new owners are in place to sign new players in the January transfer window.
Wigfield said: “As always, you get a lot of interested parties that probably aren’t going to meet the criteria, but within the numerous inquiries we’ve had, we certainly think that there are already four or five interested parties that look like the real deal.
“There are two criteria that new owners basically need to satisfy to then open dialogue and there to be an opportunity where they can make an offer.
“The first thing is they need to show the administrators that they could make the football club viable. So they’ve got to show that they’ve got sufficient funds to be able to fund it for the next few years.
“And secondly, we have to be satisfied that they will pass the EFL fit and proper persons test, and if they can satisfy both of those, then we’ll start talking to them seriously.”
On Saturday, First-half goals from Will Lankshear and a Cameron Brannagan free-kick allowed the U’s to record a second victory in three games to move them four points clear of the bottom three as they climb one place to 19th.
Zimbabwean Fusire halved the deficit early in the second period and Jamal Lowe missed a big chance to equalise as Wednesday remain stuck on minus six points and now 16 points from safety. — BBC Sport/ Zimapers Sports Hub
