Shrewsbury Town's prolonged takeover saga is nearing completion after an American consortium received approval from the English Football League (EFL) and the Independent Football Regulator (IFR). The League Two club confirmed on Monday that written confirmation had been received, clearing the way for the unidentified group to assume control. A club statement indicated the new owner and principal investors will be announced once final documentation is concluded.

Chairman Roland Wycherley placed the club up for sale in 2024, but previous deals collapsed, prompting frustrated supporter groups to send an open letter on September 6 demanding answers. The club pledged to respond after due consideration and thanked fans for their patience.
