Doubt the EFL has the expertise to fully investigate ESI finances (global trust) so why the delay? This is now starting to impinge on our ability to compete in the transfer window.
Still think Nimer's wealth there is a deliberate red herring... Says he is "understood to have handed over evidence which effectively rules out any "dual ownership" issues with the Premier League champions". Saeed and Mansour are family, but both have billions in the bank of their own accord. The only spin we have is that Nimer is investing his own money... I believe he probably is, a bit, but I think the main money man is the Sheikh, and at no point has this been denied.
Sheikh pays Nimer his wages, Nimer funds the club. Of course, the Sheikh may decide to pay Nimer a lot more money and Nimer may then decide to put a lot more money into us, but that would be purely coincidental I'm sure
This sounds ridiculous but if TN is worth 200 million then he’s nowhere near rich enough in todays crazy football finances. Plus on that basis he would be investing a massive proportion of his personal wealth.

Would also question if Southall or Heller have anywhere near enough 60m to buy the club
Means that those funds have come from Nimer which is effectively a quarter of his wealth - Yeaaa okay!!

"Several hundred million" could mean more than £200m.

And several hundred million in cash? investments? property? Or combined ? we have no idea what his true means clear are.

Double it and it’s still not enough unless he wants to spend a lot of his money on football with no guarantee of success.
if the sheikh is involved financially, why would the efl be concerned. He is second or third cousins to the man city owner. is that still considered all in the same ownership. I barely even know my second cousins

Guess it depends how the Bodies see the Sheikhs involvement @ Man City
Do they see them like the Glazer Family @ Man Utd where it would surely be a conflict if one went and purchased Welling for example
Can see why there would be concern as doesnt even need to be a family ran club, just take a look @ Red Bull
Something stinks, no sniff of anyone doing DD. Then boom take over announced pending EFL approval....
Now the ship starts leeking like a "number 10 source". Usual back door channels. Have we ever been "briefed" about a Roland rant before?
Southall is a sales man, who's main commodity is himself. To be fair he has sold himself very well so far, to the fan base as well as His Excellency.
Something doesn't add up to me, it's not Roland or the efl. Maybe I just think it's to good to be true, so it probably isn't. Maybe I just don't trust Southall because he is "too perfect".
As ever the proof will be in the pudding and the devil in the detail.
As it's star wars day I'll finish by saying "I have a bad feeling about this".
Just to clarify - The bloke who our bloke works for, is not the bloke who owns Citeh and is barely related to him, although they belong to the same ruling dynasty. The proof the EFL needed, weren't necessarily regarding financial relationships, but physical family relationships. The good news is, if all that is correct (ha) there's no reason why the bloke who our bloke works for, can't invest himself if he so wishes
So we're still gonna potentially have access to £150 billion+

I thought Star Wars Day was May 4th ??? makes about as much sense as the rest of your post
If the EFL have said the process is still within the expected time frame, why do people think it's weird and looking for an ulterior motive? Or have I missed something?
Sounds like the end game here is City will be sold on at some point (started last month with the US investment) and we'll eventually become Sheikh Mansours number one club who go on to dominate European football for decades
Oh my gawd how terrible, all those trophies, what would we moan about?

So according to the Telegraph report the EFL have been scrutinising the deal for over a month now. Surely that must mean we are close to an announcement?

Valley Express leaving Larkfield 3 weeks before the game. The suggested train routes thread for that one would spark orgasms.

ESI: No
