Beal says Salisbury are an attractive proposition with few debts

Salisbury chairman Neville Beal says there are two groups seriously interested in buying the club.

The Whites were put up for sale for a pound last month, because the board said they could not afford to keep bankrolling the club.

Beal told BBC Wiltshire the initial flood of applicants have now been whittled down to just two.

"We've got two parties who have our financial information, they'll decide whether they want to take the club on."

Salisbury have just four players under contract at the moment, and manager Nick Holmes is unable to sign new deals until the ownership of the club is decided.

"We would like it done as quickly as possible but nobody is going to jump into something that's going to cost them a considerable amount of money, it's a big commitment," Beale added.

"You can't push people into making a decision of that magnitude, you'd just push them away, but we do need a decision fairly quickly because Nick [Holmes] is waiting to see what he can do."
