At the time that was announced, there was still 1 NDL match to be raced, but the Tigers season was finished. I think that Steelers match is why it refers to last top flight meeting had been run, rather than hinting at Tigers going CL.
In my interpretation of the 'for sale' announcement it is assumed that a buyer would be found and no mention of what happens if not. Although (at the risk of annoying Ipswich fans again) it would devalue the club if the current promotion publicly stated that they would not run in 2026 if not sold.
Anyway, let's hope that whilst there is nothing public, that something good is coming together both for Sheffield and the Premiership
