The club – with debts of £80m – had originally been given until January 19 to find a new buyer or investor to ensure they could survive until the end of the season.
That was extended for a week after the club said they could raise the £5m needed during the January transfer window.
Now the extension has been extended again – this time after the club confirmed it was in talks with a consortium wanting to take control of the club.
The club’s CEO Trevor Birch – formerly with Premiership rival Chelsea – says talks are at an advanced stage with the local businessmen. Reports suggest a bid of £20m has been tabled, but their identity is not yet known.
