At some stage, probably later this week, Hereford United chairman David Keyte has said that he should be able to give supporters more details about at least one of the two possible investments in the club.
Last Friday Keyte told the OS that 'we are hopeful that sometime next week we'll be in a position to report some much needed positive news'.
Supporters are wary.
On the one hand, they don't want any deal to damage the long term future of the club.
On the other hand, they want the club to compete in the Conference Premier next season with a realistic budget.
They realise that Keyte and others have put a substantial amount of money into the club in the last couple of years.
But many appear to feel that some of that money has had to be put in to cover some poor decisions by the board.
And the revelation that Keyte could stay on the board after any investment - 'there will be some sort of structure with the current board still performing their roles' - hasn't gone down too well with some supporters.
As Keyte has correctly said in the past, Hereford United needs to obtain around half of its income from other sources than gate money.
To a degree that's always been the case. Former chairman Graham Turner used to try and sell on a player every so often to help balance the books.
But it's more important today than in Turner's time to have additional sources of income especially with lower gates.
And additional income is what Hereford United could have for years to come if any deals to redevelop either, or both, ends of the ground are fair to the club.
However, currently, the club has a problem that it didn't have when Turner was in charge. Directors have put money in and could want some, if not all, of it back. In Turner's time it was the Richardsons to whom the club owed money to but they never pushed for their money to be returned.
To be fair to Keyte, buying the leases from and paying off the debt to the Richardsons for £452,000 was good business. The debt was cleared and the leases back with the club.
As he said at the time with the leases back with the club there was the prospect of deals to redevelop the ends on the club's terms. But that was before the losses piled up.
Now the board is talking to investors from a position of weakness. They have to do a deal with someone to keep the club afloat. Without the £220K coming in by the Conference AGM, the club could be relegated down the Leagues and after the 'Great Escape' at Aldershot just two weeks ago, supporters would not be happy.
At this stage we do not know the details of any deal. And even when news of any deal is released it will probably take some sifting through the finer points to see how good or bad a deal it is for Hereford United Football Club. The devil will be in the detail.
The worry in many supporter's minds is that the board may look after their own position more so than that of the club. And anyone coming in could be there just for the development potential not the football.
Speculation that the board will receive £500K, to cover a good percentage of their loans, and the club £220K, just enough to get out of any immediate cash problems, is hopefully far from being correct.
But the fact that the board has rejected the offer from HUST, the supporters trust, even to look at the books gives the impression that the board are looking to get something back from their loans to the club probably at the expense of the club. HUST's offer was to cover the immediate debt and, in essence, buy Keyte out for £1. If this had been agreed then HUST would have been in a stronger position to deal with potential investors/developers.
It has to be hoped that any deal will enable the club to flourish whilst those putting up the money see a return. To balance that will be difficult, to pay off a fair part of directors loans as well may be one step too far.
After all there's only so much value in the two ends of the ground. And the club needs two new stands out of that value.
Whatever is offered, Keyte has said that shareholders will have the chance to discuss the terms. That meeting may well happen after the Conference AGM by when the £220K will need to have been paid.
In theory shareholders, should they so decide, could try and reject any deal but whether they could muster enough votes to do so looks unlikely.
Supporters can only hope and pray that any deal is for the long term good of the club.
