Chesterfield director Ashley Carson says the club understands a bid may be received from a potential new owner by the end of the month. Addressing rumours of a potential takeover that surfaced over the weekend, the company secretary revealed that a meeting has taken place with an interested party. While the identity of the potential buyer remains confidential, Carson told the Derbyshire Times it’s foreign investment behind the interest. “It’s obvious we need new money coming into the club and in the new year it will be my priority to start to look for that again,” he said. “There has been someone contact the club and we are to expect a bid.“A meeting has taken place and we understand a bid is to come in before the end of the month, they’re very interested.”Club owner Dave Allen took the club off the market in July when enquiries from an interested party fizzled out.But Carson says bids are welcome again. “If anyone is serious I would encourage them to get in touch with me, I’m open to people talking to me with a sensible offer,” he said.Carson also revealed that being bottom of League Two has, perhaps predictably, had an adverse affect on the club’s financial position - along with the managerial upheaval due to a poor start to the season.“The cost of the position at the bottom of the league is costing us in terms of fans coming through the door, which heavily impacts the revenue cash wise,” he said.“The cost to replace the management has been around £200,000.”

What a Christmas present that would be...

Looks like DA has realised he needs to lower his selling price :-

Joe Rawson‏Verified account @joerawson
There is takeover interest at #Chesterfieldfc Ashley Carson confirms its from overseas. Dave Allen has lowered the asking price and wants a sale. The need to keep throwing money in to the club the reason given. #spireites

Graham Smyth‏ @GrahamSmyth
Fairly obvious but worth stating that £15m won't be the asking price, not anymore.. Long way to go, believe it when you see it, but this appears to be concrete interest. Interesting weeks ahead.

Depending on the new owners' integrity, quality of business acumen and the understanding of our club's 'brand'. First casuality may just be Jack - ousted for some unknown European/Russian/'Big Name' ..take your pick.

[Andy Spireite]

Come on, someone must have some inside knowledge of the potential bidder. Let's hear it!

[Trigger]

I know the council have been discussing investment in the town from china so maybe there is a link there somewhere

If not that's what slightly concerns me, is it genuine investement interest or a convenience sale..fingers crossed!

Wouldnt that go down well! I doubt even replacing him with pep gaudialo would placate fans!

You little tinker you!
Still happy with Dennis though!

[calvin plummers socks]

Stockholm?

[bucko]

I'm happy whilst he is here and will support him as always.

Jack will bring in the right replacements trust me

[Toddhopper.]

Fingers crossed they are not asset stripping shysters. I would be outraged if Jack was ousted. Not only because he's a CFC legend but also because I firmly believe he is the real deal in the mould of Dyche & Howe.

That's a definite down side to this. Hopefully it'll be someone who isn't going to use it to experiment. Jack's the man atm and is taking the team gradually in the right direction.

Do not get too excited as it will all be part of David's and Ashley's little game.
