    Because the EFL must have had long enough. There cant be a 100% reliable test and there must be a system of checks that can be completed within a reasonable timescale.
  • Friday the 13th, would you?

    I see your point but I am not convinced the finances have been checked out as much as others think. Just because the interviews took place this week does not all the other box's have been investigated and ticked. Personally I think there is still a long way to go with this deal. 
  • Each day is doing damage to our chances of being in the championship next season.
    Fickle fans aren't helping when we are losing games in the first or last minutes of matches.
    It needs to be today

    Not really... Gallen will no doubt have a list of targets to go over once the Transfer Window opens so we cant do anything till then

    If the takeover drags into January then I'll agree as we need bodies in

    Hopefully Bowyer and Gallen went to meet Southall yesterday in advance of any Press Conference happening (maybe next week?)

    They then dont get shocked at something he may come out with

    Dont know if was the day of the press conference but Powell had a similar meeting with Duchatalet as remember him saying that he told Roland not to mess up what had already been built prior to the Press Conference yet had to then sit there (watching Powell's body language sititng there it obvious) listening to Roland prattle on, knowing that he fully intended to ignore Powell's advice and screw things up

    So players are not talked to and 'agreements' not made before 1st January ?

    How? We can’t sign anyone for three weeks.

    the club has been sold subject to efl approval. The new owners have been to matches, have been speaking to bowyer and planning for life after confirmation. It makes little difference if approval is given today or next friday

    Thats what I basically said in the first line... Gallen will have his list of targets and will be talking to clubs / players / agents at the moment

  • This thread is unreal. It's just like a chinwag down the pub. 

    Your round, Golfie!

    The EFL have a target of 4 weeks to ratify ownership and confirm or reject potential new owners.  That is their Service Level.  What we don't really know is when they were first approached.

    All we need is @ElfsborgAddick slyly walking past peoples tables and swiping drinks when people aren’t looking - he did that at Gillingham a few seasons ago, and had the cheek to come back to where we were sitting and said he had bought a round. Funny as I never asked for a pint of Guinness, Gin, Stella and peanuts. 
    Pork scratchings anyone?

    Well it was said they was 2 weeks into the process before the deal was announced

  • Today could be the day folks, interviews done and checks completed fingers crossed I have a feeling in my water 😉
    Probably cystitis
  • this is dragging on 😩
  • I've got  a feeling the next two weeks could be critical.

    Absolutely crucial 
  • Was hoping it would be done today so that Matt Southall could have a moment at half time on the pitch (And the Sky cameras) where the new regime could be announced but time is running out! 
  • Perhaps it has been ratified today and the announcement will be made just before kick-off. (Fingers crossed anyway).
