    Allen holds a stake of almost 11% and said he will sell on condition that fans group Wednesdayite, who own 10%, also sell their stake. </p>

    BBC Radio Sheffield understands a verbal deal has been agreed with businessman Geoff Sheard. </p>

    Sheard is the front man for a London-based international consortium. </p>

    Lawyers are believed to be putting the finishing touches to the deal before making a full written offer. </p>

    Sheard and Wednesday themselves have so far declined to comment but Wednesdayite have revealed that they have already entered discussions with the group and are awaiting a formal offer for their shares, which should arrive this week. </p>

    They will then have to ballot their members and vote on a change of rules to allow their stake to be sold. </p>

    Meanwhile, the mystery investors who attended Saturday's game against Cardiff are ready to pump millions of pounds into the playing staff, wipe out the club's debt and could even appoint a new manager. </p>

    Negotiations have been taking place for several months but it is thought that it could now be a matter of days before the club is under new ownership. </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
