Boston have entered a 'due dilligence' phase with an unnamed backer, who is currently examining the club accounts. Manager Steve Evans told the press: "I understand the talks will be concluded 10 to 14 days into the new year. I don't know anything about the person involved, but I've been told by the chairman that if this person takes over he can make the club stable - and quickly."
