Former councilor Andy Smith’s bid for struggling League One club Wrexham has still not gone through after as reports come out that he has failed to secure a deal.
The property developer who has revealed future plans for the club and their Racecourse Ground site and surrounds maintains he is fully committed to buying the club, still in administration despite his exclusivity deal expiring on Monday.
Controversial owner Alex Hamilton has now revealed he is open to offers from anyone interested in buying his 78% stake in Wrexham and the club's assets – which includes the freehold of the Racecourse.
At one point Hamilton boasted that some four separate parties were in negotiations with him, however, only Smith was making moves to secure the buy-out, leading to an exclusivity deal being struck.
