Notts County boss Luke Williams has opened up about his relationship with the club's owners as they bid to take the Magpies back into the Football League.
Alexander and Christoffer Reedtz completed their purchase of the Magpies back in the summer of 2019 from Alan Hardy, and have since completely transformed the club from top to bottom with the aspirations of finally returning to the EFL this year.
Their time at Meadow Lane has seen the club remain financially stable, while also further improving the facilities surrounding the club and producing record attendance numbers for fixtures in the National League.

It is a testament to the Danish Brothers and their desire to get the world's first professional football club back where it belongs, with this season growing ever closer to achieving that first landmark moment on this hopefully long and entertaining journey.
But one key factor to Notts' success has been through their recruitment during the entirety of this season, with several summer signings hitting the ground running and aiding their climb to the summit of the standings.
Before yesterday, a total of 11 players have walked through the Meadow Lane doors this campaign, with each playing their part in this remarkable season. Whether it is Macaulay Langstaff and his 32 league goals, John Bostock with his worldwide experience, or Sam Austin providing that endless energy and desire sought after by Notts' brilliant manager - it is a great time to be a Magpies fan.
Despite Williams' side continuing to lead the way for that one automatic place, another statement of intent was made on Thursday afternoon as they bolstered their attacking options, welcoming the talented Connor Lemonheigh-Evans on loan for the remainder of the season from Stockport County.
The management style of the Notts boss and the vision of the ambitious owners go hand in hand and are evident in the results achieved this season, with Williams on hand to detail the relationship with the Reedtz brothers and how the decisions surrounding transfers are much clearer from what he has seen during his short time in management.
"First of all and the most important thing to understand is that this is not about backing me and giving me what I want," explained Williams.
"This is about what they want as well and this is a very new concept and I understand that for a lot of people, but believe me, I am not having to go to people in recruitment or to the owners and ask them that I want this and I want that, far from it.
"They are so ambitious that they are telling me that we have a player that we think is perfect for what we need - they watch every minute of every game and see how the players are performing.
"They know after my morning meeting who is struggling with fatigue and other issues, they can also watch training because they have a live stream to that because we have no secrets with each other so they can watch my staff and players at work all the time which I think is amazing.
"You can look at this in a big brother way, which is wrong, or you can look at it like these people are really invested and want to see everything, they are desperate for us to win.
"It ranks at the very top from what I have seen, right at the very top.
"Many times you have the staff and the managers asking that we need this or need that and meeting a wall of resistance sometimes - I have also seen a scenario where one wants to sign a certain player and the manager doesn't agree with that one and then you have an uncomfortable situation, all of these things I have seen which are really common, conflict and different agendas, but we have none of that.
"We are desperate to win across the board and a keen eye on what we have in the building and a keen eye on what we can potentially bring in to strengthen what we have, for me it is the best possible environment."
