With the news that Rovers have several potential buyers and are currently in due dillegence, I thought it would be useful to have a thread consisting of news, links but not discussion.

Please post any links in this thread, indicating the source of the story along with the date and, preferably, a brief indication of the nature of the link.

As a reminder, this thread is not for discussion or comment: please use the Rovers Sold discussion thread for such purposes.

I had an short informal chat with Tom Finn this morning, the situation is basically that whilst everything is coming along well and the club does see it has a commitment to communicate with the fans, there really isn't much for us to report on that isn't already known. Sadly, not being a trained journo, I didn't think to make notes (so that isn't a formal quote) but the general feeling was one of positive progress, but nothing new at this time that we can report on.

(Remember, this thread is for news and links only, comment should go in the main takeover discussion thread)

Just to add to Glenn's post, this is the minute from Monday's fans Forum meeting: -

2. Possible Takeover

TF reported that there was little to report that was not already in the public domain concerning a possible takeover of the club. There were

currently a number of interested parties and the club was in a due diligence process. There were no final dates for this process.

There had been no application to the Premier league for approval of a sale and that process will take 10 days, so there was no immediate prospect of a completed sale. It was also possible that neither bidder would complete a sale and either side might still walk away if the deal was not right.
