The group, which also involves a number of businessmen, has made what they consider to be a fair and reasonable offer to administrators Portland Business Support and Advice.   However, there is reported to be another possible bidder.   

Moroccan businessman Outail Touzar bought the club, but failed to invest any money and it was eventually placed into administration owing creditors over £800,000.
