New Notts County manager John Sheridan has described Jon Stead as "one of my best players" and has vowed to do all he can to keep him at Meadow Lane.
The former Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers striker has been linked with a move to Scotland despite being under contract with the Magpies for next season.
Sheridan, however, said of the forward: "He's a good player. He'll be heavily involved while I'm manager. I wouldn't want him to go. He's one of my best players."
The former Newport and Oldham boss also outlined his plans for next season, including the purchase of more players and the recruitment of a new chief scout.
He continued: "I've been assured (the embargo) will be done by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. That's not a problem to me.
"I've been told it will all be sorted in the next few days. I've not spoken to them about the takeover. I try not to let it bother me.
"If it worried me I'd have been worried about coming here. It will take care of itself. I'll just try to bring a few players in and then you can see where we want to go.
"Ray Trew has given a deadline for the sale. I concentrate on bringing players in... I'll bring a chief scout in.
"I know these leagues and I know the types of players I need. A lot of it will be down to me more or less.
"I will be bringing my own people in. I don't think you need more than a chief scout and a couple of scouts."
