Starforth claimed that this week is a vital one for the club on the pitch with an FA Cup quarter-final tie on Sunday. However, there is still alert over the deal after weeks of setbacks. Although he does further claim that a decision is due soon. The UK announced at the weekend that they would be clamping down on the issue of piracy in the country, which is thought to have handed the £300m takeover a major boost.
