The move follows a petition by a creditor who is owed £300,000 by the League One outfit but Reid revealed County had been working desperately hard behind the scenes to put together a rescue package. Chief executive Sean Connolly said: "We were absolutely convinced that the deal could have been completed within the next 36 hours." And Reid said: "I am absolutely gutted. To have been so close and to have the rug pulled from under our feet is soul-destroying. "I can now only hope that Stockport County can rise from the ashes."
