A CONSORTIUM of Australian and overseas investors is set to buy a minority stake in Brisbane Roar next month.

The Courier-Mail revealed last month that Roar owners, Indonesian conglomerate the Bakrie Group, were ready to “share their vision’’ by selling a share of the three-time A-League champions.

After discussions with a interested parties, it is understood the Bakrie Group have all-but secured new investors for the Roar.

Under the terms of the agreement, the consortium cannot yet be named. It does not include any Queenslanders, but does involve interstate businesspeople as well as overseas buyers.

Among the key factors of the deal was an agreement between the Bakrie Group and the consortium about the value of the Roar.

Each party made independent evaluations and it was eventually agreed that the club was worth slightly more than $20 million.

The Bakrie Group first bought 70 per cent of the Roar in September 2011 before buying the remaining shares off Football Federation Australia in February 2012 to gain total control of the club.

Since the Bakrie Group’s takeover, the Roar have won two of their three A-League championships.

Brisbane’s bid for another title has gone astray this season, with the Roar seventh going into their clash with Wellington Phoenix on Monday night at Suncorp Stadium.

However, with the top six teams qualifying for the A-League finals series, a Brisbane side that has been boosted the recent signings of Jerome Polenz, Luke DeVere and Andrija Kaluderovic still has plenty to play for this season.

“The beauty of the Australian system is that all you need to achieve during the regular season to make the (six-team) finals and then you’re still a chance of becoming champions,” marquee man Thomas Broich said.

“I’m a firm believer that nothing is impossible. We were chasing games in three grand finals and we won all of them. What are the odds of that?

“I don’t know how far we can take it this season but we will give it a serious go.’’

The return of decorated Roar goalkeeper Michael Theo from his wrist injury has ended Matt Acton’s injury-replacement deal.

Acton has wasted little time in his search for a new club, having on Friday started a trial with the crisis-torn Newcastle Jets.

The Jets have a goalkeeping vacancy in their squad after Mark Birighitti’s loan move to Italian second division club Varese.
