Darlington Football Club has been placed into administration after a consortium of local businessmen were unable to reach a buyout deal with the owner.
The Blue Square Bet Premier side had been the subject of a bid by a group calling themselves the Darlington Football Club Rescue Group (DFCRG). Current owner and chairman, Raj Singh, said he had been unable to settle on a sustainable deal with the group and had called in administrators.
In a statement released on the club's website today he said it was an extremely unfortunate situation for the club, which has previously gone into administration three times in the last nine years.
"I for one certainly didn't envisage this when I took over the club back in August 2009," he said. "Over the last two months we've been trying to make necessary cutbacks to be able to ensure the future of the club, including negotiating reduced players' wages and a settlement with (former manager) Mark Cooper."
He said he admired the members of DFCRG for their intentions towards the club, but that their offer had been unviable for the short-term future of the club. Darlington will now face a points deduction in the Football Conference.
He said that interested parties would now be able to negotiate any buyout deals with the club's administrators.
