Update on Yeovil Town's takeover plans
Chairman Stuart Robins issued a statement on their social media yesterday - ahead of the final game against Aldershot Town
Yeovil Town's chairman - Stuart Robins - has given fans an update on the takeover plans this Bank Holiday Monday.
He posted the statement on their social media yesterday - ahead of the final game against Aldershot Town.
Robins said that a 'third party' is in talks with Martin Hellier, of the Hellier Group, to complete a takeover.
Robins said: "As many of you will know, we've been trying diligently to get new ownership and new investment - and I'm really pleased to tell you that the Hellier Group and a third party have been working behind the scenes to try and make that happen.
"There's a lot of work that's still to be done, but there's an awful lot of goodwill on both sides.
"Everybody is working hard to make this happen as soon as we possible can."
Posting on the club's website at the end of March, Martin Hellier said: "It has been a privilege to serve as chairman, and I am proud of the significant changes made around the club, changes that I believe will benefit it for years to come. Helping the club regain its place in the National League was a key milestone, and while the journey has had its challenges, real progress has been made.
"However, due to the pressures placed on myself and my family, I have made the decision to step away from my role. Stuart Robins will take on the position of interim chairman while a successor is found, and I hope the club can continue building towards a strong future. In the meantime, I encourage you all to keep backing Mark and the team as we approach the final stretch of the season.
"The club will make no further comment until a new owner has been appointed."
