Former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper, David Stockdale, and his family have agreed a deal to take over Farsley Celtic.
Celtic are in the midst of a difficult period, one that has seen them relegated, demoted, and blighted with financial issues over the last 12 months, with owner, Paul Barthorpe, coming under increasing scrutiny throughout.
Now, though, a change looks to be on the cards, with the club confirming that Stockdale’s family are close to completing a takeover deal ‘subject to final legal technicalities’.
