    Just heard it's gone to the EFL today for the Appendix 3 approval.

    We could be there........

    Thanks...but a few questions:

    What is appendix 3?
    How long does EFL normally take, assuming there are no major issues?
    Any idea who the potentional buyers are - Aussies/Saudis?

    Thanks.
    Owners and Directors Assessment: Take a look here.
    Thanks @cafc-west

    Confident enough for us to post “it’s happening” gifs?

    No idea who the new owner is though, but it would appear they're not the British group.

    Isn’t this the last bit that needs to be done?
  • Whenever I see 92 new comments...I always struggle to know what that could possibly be about.

    Unless the club has been sold....why are there 92 new comments in a short space of time?

    "Speculating ....false dawn's.... squabbles"

    is the thread rolled into one

    Strange post given the news.

    well Fanny did say it was being announced next Monday at the POTY

    ...even though at time of posting that it was rather tongue in cheek .

    I would have thought so.

    However, if it has got to this stage, it might be nice to see an announcement today, unless the new owner is Ned Kelly.

    What is the news? I genuimely don't know. I quick checked the unread posts looking for key words
  • Airman - RedHenry - Can you comment?

    Thanks Addickted.

    I would expect it to be announced as this bit (should) be a formality.
  • Here we go again.

    I would love the boycotters to be able to return for the playoffs.

    The ones I feel sorry for are the ones who have seen a sudden jump in the number of posts, open the thread and can't find what everyone is excited about. So they painstakingly read through posts - like this one - and don't find anything that helps. Apart from a cryptic comment like "Appendix 3? Wow - that must mean we're close".

    That must be SO frustrating...

    Nah, makes about as much sense as the rest of the bullshit we regularly post on here so not much difference to any other thread :wink:

    Para 3 is the Fit and proper test, and the claim is that this has applied for.
  • Fit and proper tests.

    The only times of the year that the EFL manage to organise a piss up in a brewery.

    Surely EFL approval is the last piece of the jigsaw put in place before the deal is finalised. If true, I think it's pretty clear evidence there is nothing left to negotiate and the deal is done. Will approval be received before the end of the season though? Are there two contracts prepared - one for League 1 and one for Championship? Regardless, don't see any reason why it cant be announced subject to EFL approval.

    Would be a massive boost all round for players an fans if announced prior to Saturday with LB named manager.

    It is probably like the episode of ‘Yes Prime Minister’ when they are appointing a new manager of the Bank of England. “Seems like a good chap “.
