ANDREW Fitton insists "positive talks" are still ongoing into the night as the Town takeover inches closer to completion.
Just when it looked as though talks were to set to stall again, the Wiltshire businessman has revealed he is confident the deal will now go through on Monday morning.
He said both parties' lawyers are now just checking the wording of the contract and, if acceptable, the deal will go ahead on Monday.
Fitton jets off on a family holiday tomorrow morning but revealed as long as the latest contract is agreed, his consortium's purchase will be completed at the start of next week.
The news comes at the end of a stressful day for all Town fans with Fitton not attending today's defeat to Brighton after three late amendments to the contract.
Fitton seems convinced these issues have now been dealt with, with him hoping to be announced chairman on Monday.
He said: "Providing the lawyers agree the documentation, which they should do, the deal will go ahead.
"Monday morning is now the critical time."
