A great week for the Warriors is about to get a whole lot better with an American millionaire set to buy the club.

Hawaiian businessman Richard Fale has agreed to take control of the club in principle and could take charge as early as next week.

Current Warriors owner Eric Watson has been trying to sell the club for months without any luck - until now.

"We're really close," Fale told Auckland’s Trackside Radio.

"We're here with boots on the ground to do a verification of all the numbers and verify everything we've been communicating about.

"We've brought our mergers and acquisition specialist over from New York City and he's going to take a blow torch and sledge hammer to everything, to make sure everything's panning out the way we think it is and then we'll take it forward from there.”

The Warriors ended a nine-match losing streak in round one last weekend with a fine upset win over Souths.
