Paul Wildes has pulled out of the deal to save the Quakers - but administrator Harvey Madden continues to explore other options.
Minutes after Mr Wildes announced he had withdrawn his bid, administrator Harvey Madden announced that he was exploring alternatives.
He said he was holding further meetings on Wednesday to “explore other options as a matter of urgency”.
A statement issued by Mr Madden’s company, Taylor Rowlands, said: “Two further parties have shown interest and if the club is to survive he (Mr Madden) quickly needs to find a willing purchaser.”
Mr Madden said he would release a further statement when any progress was made.

Football fans have raised more than £45,000 in only three weeks to help save Darlington Football Club from liquidation.
Thousands of well-wishers from the North-East and beyond have donated money to help keep the club alive.
Bucket collections at Darlington and Middlesbrough games, which were organised by Darlington Football Club Supporters’ Club, brought in more than £20,000.
The Darlo Uncovered fans’ website has collected more than £17,000 after initially hoping just to buy the players – who were not being paid – “a few sandwiches”.
Schools and colleges have also pulled together to help.
The amounts raised during non-uniform days are still coming in, but the latest total stands at more than £8,500.
The fundraising drive was organised by Paul Bielby, a member of Darlington FC Rescue Group.
He said: “The Darlington schools and colleges and their children and parents who have participated in the Save Darlo mufti day have come together to show a wonderful spirit and pride in maintaining Darlington Football Club’s history.”
Cheques and cash gifts received by The Northern Echo total nearly £1,100, while a dress down day at the Echo’s headquarters in Darlington raised a further £117.
A race night featuring former Darlington FC player Kevan Smith raised £1,500.
The race night was held on Saturday night at the Cleveland Bridge Social Club, in Neasham Road.
Fundraising efforts are continuing, with a signed shirt and gloves from Fulham and former Darlington goalkeeper David Stockdale due to be auctioned on eBay.
