The seemingly never-ending Bolton Wanderers takeover saga could be 48 hours from completion, according to our source who informed us about this.
Our source tells us that the Sports Shield consortium are in talks to complete the Share Purchase Agreement - a definitive agreement that finalises all terms and conditions related to the purchase and sale of the shares of a company.
They expect to complete a deal for the club over the weekend.
However, our source tells us that their proposed bid is being challenged by a rival bid from Dennis Rogers and Jonathan Disley, who they claim do not have the club's best interests at heart and hope to "gazump" the SS deal.
Updates as and when we get them.
