Southend United have until 4 October to find new owners after being given a final 42-day deadline by the High Court.
Southend United have been granted a final 42-day adjournment of their winding-up petition by the High Court to complete the sale of the club.
Owner Ron Martin told the court a sale to an unnamed Australian buyer should be finalised by the end of September.The takeover must now be finalised by their return to court on 4 October."If this was not a football club, with the attachment of its fans, I would be winding it up today," Judge Prentis said.
The Shrimpers, who have debts of £2.5m, owe £275,000 to HMRC in unpaid taxes and were warned by the National League that failure to clear that by Wednesday would result in a 10-point penalty. They were also told their licence to play would depend on paying any new debts "on time to the satisfaction of the league" during the season.the Shrimpers have begun their campaign with two wins and two defeats and are ninth in the table on six points.
But a 10-point penalty would leave them bottom on minus four points, five points adrift of current bottom club Dagenham & Redbridge.
