WHITE knight businessman Alan Young has moved to the brink of an historic agreement that would secure Adelaide United's future and restore the club licence to South Australian control.
Young's Adelaide United Business Consortium last night outlined their ownership blueprint to Football Federation Australia boss Ben Buckley and operations manager Archie Fraser in Sydney.
Young hailed the two-hour meeting "a stunning success" despite both parties driving tough negotiations over the mechanics of turning United from financial basket case to profitable football operation.
"We are very close to agreement," said Young, who was flanked in the Harbour City by key members of his 20-strong consortium.
"We have had a round of talks that were extremely positive.
"I feel as though we both know where the other is coming from."
