MANSFIELD Town chief executive Stephen Booth says that it is too early to make firm decisions ahead of the Stags' first season in non league football.
But Booth, still insisting that he is trying to broker a sale for owner Keith Haslam, added that now is the time for any would-be buyers to come forward.
On Tuesday night the Stags were relegated to non league football after 77 years in the Football League - a decision which Booth said a few weeks ago would then signal the resumption of takeover talks with any interested parties.
He told Chad: "It is very clear to any bidders now where the club is. It is time for them to put their thinking caps
"Everything is final now and I am working on a revised business plan for Conference football.
"Obviously I am devastated . . . but we have now got to plan for life in the Conference. There are many things to think about, such as ticket pricing and so forth.
"But any major decisions, on players etc, are best left until things settle down and we can look at them in the cold light of day.
"Obviously we have got to prepare for life in the Conference and hopefully any takeover talks can run parallel to that.
"We have got to have plans in place come what may, but I am hopeful that our plans will provide the basis for potential bidders."
The chief executive added that he ultimately believed that just six home wins told its own story - and tha 'people with leisure pounds in their pockets want to pay to watch a winning team'.
He added: "Last Saturday and over 4,000 home supporters showed that there is a latent support out there for the club. But over the season we were 2,000 short of that. Thast support has got to be galvanised."
