Cape Town - West Bromwich Albion have set 31 May as the deadline for potential buyers to put in their bids to buy the Premier League club.
Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace has set a price tag of £150m, and interested parties from as far afield as the US and the Far East have already tabled bids.
"Due diligence on West Brom could take as little as three weeks, so the chairman's deadline could be met," says BBC Radio 5's Pat Murphy.
