One Direction star Louis Tomlinson says his dream of owning Doncaster Rovers is over.
Tomlinson, a lifelong fan of the Sky Bet League One club, said he was "absolutely gutted" that the deal appears not to be going ahead, but said he still aims to help the club succeed.
In a series of posts online, Tomlinson wrote: "I'm absolutely gutted the Doncaster Rovers deal is not going ahead. I am desperate for the club to be given the recognition it deserves.
"I was explicitly told that the deal to buy the club was not dependent on the money raised by Crowdfunding. Unfortunately I was misled.
"My passion for Doncaster Rovers remains as strong as ever, and I hope that I can still be involved with the club moving forward.
"And to all the Doncaster Rovers fans , I will do all in my power to help the club succeed. I really do love the club."
