"I've spoken to a few of the lads and their reaction has been very positive," he said. "The overall reaction seems to be that they are not keen on moving anywhere else if there is a future for them here at this club.
"They are an honest bunch of lads and I have to believe them, but until they have put pen to paper on contracts, we can never be sure.
"What I've said to them is that it is practically impossible for anything to go wrong now in terms of the takeover because Mr Hamilton has gone and the deal is being done.
"As for the other players I can't get hold of yet, I don't know why they have mobile phones because they never seem to answer them, but we'll persevere and speak to everyone at some stage."
