Isle of Man-based businessman Trevor Hemmings' bid for Preston North End is reaching the fans.
Supporters with shares have been contacted by the football club's board urging them to accept the multi-millionaire's offer of five pence per share.
Supporters own 11% of the club and could allow Mr Hemmings' stake to rise to his target of 75%, which would give him full ownership and the opportunity to de-list from the AIM stock exchange.
Last Friday, the 74-year-old reached the 51.4% mark, and talks are continuing.
However, Mr Hemmings says unless he achieves the buyout figure, he will no longer finance Preston.
He has already pumped £13m into the club, which has the threat of administration and liquidation hanging over it.
