THE financial experts set to steer closure-threatened Wrexham FC through the tricky waters of administration last night vowed to rescue the club.

The pledge came as Tony Blair yesterday sent his best wishes to fans as the cash-strapped club was granted breathing space to find a buyer.

And an Inland Revenue tax debt winding-up order was put on ice for a month by the High Court.

Today Wrexham MP Ian Lucas meets Welsh sports minister Alun Pugh to seek assembly funding to preserve the Racecourse ground as a top sports venue.

Proposed joint administrators David Acland and Steven Williams, of Preston-based Begbies Traynor's specialist football finance unit, said last night: "Wrexham AFC has a viable future."

They want to pull together a rescue package before the High Court formally puts the club into administration next month.

On Tuesday the Dragons petitioned the High Court for the voluntary administration order.

David Acland added: "We are familiar with the club's heritage and past successes and understand its importance to the people of Wrexham.

"It is our hope sufficient investment can be secured in order for a rescue plan to be formulated to ensure the long-term survival and future success of this famous club."
