More Bidders

Last updated : 01 August 2007 By Editor
The man behind handling the bids for control of Mansfield Town, Mike Howarth, has spoke publically for the first time this week, confirming that there are other groups considering making a move, besides the annoucement this week, that current chairman James Derry was about to launch into a proposed bid.

Mr Howarth told the Mansfield CHAD this week "There are two other very interested parties, apart from Mr Derry's consortium.

"That does not include the Australian bid. I have had no direct contact with them, but obviously we would listen to any serious offer.

"It would appear to make sense that a new owner should take control at the beginning of the season, if this is possible. Mr Haslam is quite prepared to sell the football club."

Meanwhile the two people behind the Aussie bid, that was eventually told it had been 'Outbid' have slammed James Derry's conduct for what they call "being morally and ethically wrong", following news that Derry himself would be in the running for any bid on the Stags.
