Mansfield will lease Field Mill from former chairman Keith Haslam
|
Mansfield Town chairman James Derry has explained why his consortium's purchase of the club from managing director Keith Haslam has been delayed.
Derry told Mansfield's website: "There are stringent Football League rules in forming a new company following the problems at Leeds and other clubs.
"Things need to be done in greater detail to assess the liabilities when you are taking on a football club.
"I expect (the contract) to be sorted out sooner rather than later."
Derry announced just over a week ago that he had agreed to buy the Stags from Haslam, who has retained ownership of their Field Mill ground and will lease it to the club.
