A DEAL to save Saints could be completed within the next 24 hours, the Daily Echo can reveal.
Administrator Mark Fry is today due to hold talks with one of the frontrunners – believed to be the Matt Le Tissier-backed Pinnacle group – in what could be a decisive meeting.
Fry last night told the Echo that he hopes to align himself with a potential purchaser by the end of Wednesday.
That is, however, dependent on any late hitches to a prospective deal, with talks reaching a very sensitive stage.
Fry, left, revealed at the end of last week that he was in contact with two serious groups and added yesterday that he had received some late interest in the club.
He said: “We are talking to a couple of seriously interested parties and there are some late expressions of interest, but we are hoping to align ourselves with a potential bidder within the next 48 hours.”
Talks are described as being at a “seriously late stage” and it is thought an announcement on a preferred bidder could be imminent.
