The Reds’ board have agreed a sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures (NESV) in a £300million deal.
“It’s very positive and of course I’m delighted,” the Reds boss told the club’s official website.
“It’s been going on a long time and I know how hard the board have worked to set things up.
“I know it’s not easy for them because the owners have other ideas in terms of the sale of the club and what is achievable.
“But I was delighted to hear the news and have it confirmed that it looks like it is going to go through.”
