Kassam in Oxford sale talks

Kassam bought Oxford for a pound

Oxford United chairman Firoz Kassam has told the BBC he will make a statement about his future with the club in the next 10 days.

Mr Kassam said he has been in talks with "one or two people" about the possible sale of the club.

But he said they were not with television presenter Jim Rosenthal who has publicly expressed an interest.

Last month Mr Kassam said he had been frustrated by obstacles to his property development plans in Oxford, and said he wanted to sell the club for just £1.

He said he was also suffering from a lack of support and trust.

He paid £1 for the club four years ago before clearing its debts and completing the new stadium.

On Tuesday, he also said he would listen to offers for any of his Oxford businesses, not just the stadium that bears his name.

He told BBC Radio Oxford he expects to make a formal statement soon.
