The Middle Eastern consortium bidding to buy Notts County believes Championship football within five years is a realistic target.

Munto Finance is in advanced discussions with the Magpies board over a takeover at the League Two club.

"Over the next few years Munto will invest in the underlying fabric and infrastructure of the club, as well as making funds available to improve the playing and coaching staff and for nurturing home grown talent," read a statement on the club's official website.

"Investment in an improved youth programme and further integration within the community are just as important to Munto as success on the park.

"To achieve this, Munto intend to invest in Notts County in a structured and staged way, to achieve their initial objective of making the club an established Championship side within four to five years.

"They have an overall commitment to the community and fans alike - ensuring a solid and long future to enable the club to steadily rise through the tables, eventually depending upon their own resources."
