West Bromwich Albion's shareholders want owner Jeremy Peace to sell his stake.
Peace is currently negotiating the sale of his 88 per cent stake with potential buyers from China and it's believed a takeover is edging closer.
Neil Reynolds, chairman of Shareholders for Albion, told the Express & Star: "I believe the majority are tired of speculation. This is the third year on the trot, they want to see an end to it.
“From that perspective we would be pleased for a new owner. There's also a worry that some new owners haven't got a good track record.
“Leicester have done brilliantly, but those at Coventry and Bolton have been terrible.
“There's the Glazers at Man United, I wouldn't want Albion to be run by anybody like that.
“So there is fear of the unknown but if it's somebody who is prepared to invest in the club get us playing attacking football and going for trophies, then the vast majority would be happy."
