Peter Ridsdale told the Official Barnsley FC Website: “We have great news coming out of today’s meeting and have made a lot of progress. It has been confirmed by all five sets of lawyers that this deal will be completed and finalised on or before October 24th at the very latest. We are trying to do it before then. “There is nothing major that remains outstanding and only a couple of minor issues that have to be finished before completion. “We have shaken hands on the deal and everyone was happy that this deal can be completed within this timeframe”. More news regarding Peter Ridsdale’s takeover of the club will be released as soon as possible via the Official Website.
