A proposed takeover of Carlisle United is at an advanced stage, the club has confirmed.
Speculation has been mounting that a takeover of the club was on the cards, and in statement released today, September 8, by Carlisle United and its shareholders, it said it was negotiating with the Piatak family.
Tom Piatak is a Florida-based businessman who runs a logistics firm.
The club said: “We have entered into, and are working through, a period of exclusivity with a view to concluding that transaction.
“Any transaction is of course subject to contract, EFL approval, and the participation of CUOSC.
“CUOSC has an upcoming members’ meeting to discuss the proposals.
“As confirmed previously, we continue to be contacted by parties expressing interest in the club.
“The message to those parties is that the shareholders are unable to progress any discussions whilst they are in a period of legal exclusivity with another party.
“We ask fans to be patient and understanding during this time.
“As and when there is further information which we can share with fans, we will do so.”
