Notts County Set For Another Cash Boost

Post by AndyPark » Tue Dec 29, 2009 6:41 pm

Notts County owner Peter Trembling has revealed that he and director of football Sven-Goran Eriksson are close to securing new investors in the club.

Trembling told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We are making immense strides, a lot quicker than I thought we would do and dared hope.

"Hopefully we will be in a position to announce some news in seven days on that and on the management side.

"Sven met with them three weeks ago and it's looking really good," he added.

"We get an investor with significant amounts of cash who can put the money in straight away, and we can still look for the Premier League in five years.

"If we are going to the Premier League it's got to be £25m as a starting point.

"At Notts County we virtually have no debt. We're actually in a very good position.

"That is advantageous from a selling perspective and the fact that Sven's on board and has committed himself to the club is a huge bonus too."

Magpies executive chairman Trembling took over from Munto Finance at Meadow Lane earlier this month.

The club are currently without a manager, Hans Backe having quit on 15 December after just seven weeks in charge.

But County won 4-1 away Burton on Monday in their first game since caretaker boss Dave Kevan resumed control again (as he also did after Ian McParland's sacking in October). And they hope to make a quick decision on who will take over as full-time manager.

"We will go through all the applications and move pretty quickly on that one as well," added Trembling.

"I am keeping everything crossed at the moment but the signs are incredibly good."
