Plymouth Administrator Brendan Guilfoyle has laid out a timetable to complete a sale of the club. He wants a preferred bidder by March 17th who would then cover the club's running costs while they completed negotiations. Guilfoyle says any bidder will need to fund at least £2million in wages to the end of the season and then reach a CVA with creditors, but he adds that no single creditor is owed more than 25% of the £13million debt so that a CVA cannot be blocked by one creditor.
