New takeover twist?
The new consortium contacted Doyle on Friday following a failed attempt to buy a "very big club", and they are closely monitoring the Ridsdale situation.
Doyle said: "As far as I'm concerned the deal with Ridsdale is done.
"But there are other people interested and I can't hang around forever.
"I spoke to Peter (Ridsdale) this morning and we're trying to get it done within the next 24 hours.
"But I took a big consortium round the ground on Saturday and they wanted to get it (a deal) done quickly.
"I gather they liked what they've seen and will be getting something together within the next 48 hours.
"It would be far, far better for me to do business with them, but I don't want that. I want what's best for Barnsley."
