... BUT he is not about to switch clubs again, as reported in the newspapers today.

Although the ex-Newcastle chairman is looking to sell his shares in the Toon, Sheffield Wednesday have denied Sir John Hall is one of the mystery parties interested in a possible summer takeover at Hillsborough.

Owls chairman Dave Allen has confirmed talks are on-going with several other interested parties.

Sheffield Wednesday chief executive Kevin Walker: "We have had no contact from Sir John Hall with regard to investment in Sheffield Wednesday.

"Talks are ongoing with a number of different parties who are interested in backing the club and we will work towards the best possible outcome for Sheffield Wednesday through these negotiations."

Hall has held a couple of meetings with Freddy Shepherd this season looking to cash in on his shares, but so far Shepherd has resisted all offers.
