TWTD understands that as things stand the proposed US-backed takeover of the Blues is off.
As previously reported, a consortium led by former West Brom chief executive officer and Oxford board member Mike O’Leary and co-owners of USL club Phoenix Rising including Brett Johnson was looking to buy the Blues from current owner Marcus Evans in a £30 million deal.
However, we understand the move, which had made significant progress with the EFL involved and Land Registry priority searches in place regarding the training ground, has now stalled and while not yet dead appears much less likely to go through that it did than when the news first broke in late February.
Owner Marcus Evans, who recently appointed Paul Cook as manager, has played down the prospect of a deal being done saying earlier this month that he has received no offer which is "currently acceptable to me or the club”.
Town's position has improved significantly over the last month, the Blues having climbed from mid-table to sixth in League One.
