SW should not be able to buy players until next summer at the earliest.
It would be totally unacceptable for some to play them early Jan and then they strengthen, meaning those teams that play them afterwards have less chance of winning. Also they should not be afforded the opportunity to start building a team for next season and have six months of training and playing together so they have a distinct advantage next season.
Rules is rules, and they broke them. The punishment should not be lifted mid season.

Sheff Wed 'days from takeover' with Ashley leading contender

The 15 point deduction for next season would make being able to pay fees a bit moot as not many players will want to go there 

All depends on how much they will be paying them. Pay enough, or above more than enough, players will come.

Administrator announced that they are proceeding with a preferred bidder. No names given but the BBC have strongly suggested who it is (not Mike Ashley). Bloke seems to have fingers in many pies and looking like another one of these multi-club owners. Not sure how that will go down with the EFL and if I was a SW fan I wouldn't be too enamoured with the choice of owner.

Thought I'd opened the Rate my Plate' thread by accident there. 

The buy out seems complicated, never like these multi owner  consortiums as you never know who actually is the driving force. Also prone to people having falling outs and then an internal conflict.
In the case of Wednesday it will also probably mean a protracted fit and proper persons revue, as the EFL will need to know who has say over running the club, the front man does not sound to good at being involved with football clubs. 

I know somebody who used to work with this guy. Said he was a c-word who ended up stealing money from the outfit and running off, and that he’ll be a disaster for Wednesday 🤷‍♂️

so business as usual for SW
