    I thought it was said on here that it was at EFL weeks a go

    I would of presumed it was true back then and awaiting ratification once all the ticks were in the boxes our end

    It may well have been the EFL that wanted the proof and it was them waiting who knows

    Might be wrong but don’t think it was confirmed it was with EFL no more than ten days ago and that it would only be completed once the Sunderland takeover had gone through, believe that went through last week so they’ve only spent a few days looking at our takeover so far
    The ‘EFL can only look at one takeover at a time’ theory is absolute nonsense !
  • Wouldnt be a good start to get rid of a fan favourite but based on whats been said about the prospective new owners, it sounds like they want the fans onboard from the off so cant see that happening.

    Hopefully Jacko ends up fulfilling his dream at some point though!

    I'm not defending rd in any way but lets not kid ourselves that it is easy to become a billionaire and an idiot certainly cannot.If any one of us could become a billionaire then we would b able to buy the club and run it in the best way possible and wouldn't b waiting on snippets of information from others or hoping that those who are able to control their destiny and that of the things they own, will do the best for our club. Money aint important until a lack of it stops you from getting what you want.

    But everybody can go mad. We clearly haven't had the best of him. And that's an understatement.
  • I have often wondered, since our days with Jimenez and Slater, whether perhaps we might of been better off going into administration, instead of being brought by Roland, Hind sight is a wonderful thing, and going into administration is a dangerous thing, but where we are now under Roland, would Adminisration have hurt us more?, after all we have ended up in league 1 anyway - what do others think???

    There is certainly an argument to be had there. It's all unknown but there is the possibility that admin could have united the fans the players SCP and the club. We could have all fought together for the good of the club. Would that be preferable to the current divisions and in fighting. Relegation/ a points deduction - well we were relegated anyway. Admin would have allowed us to have started again after writing off debt - a fresh start in league 1 with no debt certainly appears, on the face of it at least, better than trying to find someone to cough up 40m to buy the club probably loaded with debt and then invest to get us out. Make no mistake though. Admin would have been painful.

    We’ve established from credible sources that their is only one panel who can look at each case at a time

    One panel who look at making the final decision.

    Plenty of people running around in the background carrying out DD, financial and legal checks on not only proposed new owners, but current and existing owners.

    @Henry Irving no news from my EFL contact and he's off to sunnier climes with his family this week.
  • I am still in the camp that there are no papers lodged at the EFL. If this is the case they have nothing to look at.

    Wrong camp @eaststandmike they are with the EFL and this is from more than one credible source

  • If you believe the Aussies they're with the EFL and have been for some time. I believe them. Why would they make that up?
  • That's good news, I imagine minor signings might even be possible even without a new manager (e.g. someone like a Fosu, who only cost a nominal fee and wouldn't have been on high wages or a big signings on fee)
  • why wouldn't they be, they are still under contract

    If you filled in on a secondment to the role above yours and the management at your place deemed it fit to replace the official holder of that role, thus pushing you back into your original role, you'd generally go back to your normal role.

    Lee and Johnny have likely continued until they're given the perm role or the seconded roles are filled permanently.

    As I have said all along JS I hope I am wrong and all of you are right as I want RD gone. But if the papers have been with the EFL for "some time" (your words) then I would expect an announcement one way or the other very soon.

    they were 'upgraded' until the end of the season, the season has now ended so surely revert to previous roles

    Personally, I believe many billionaires are idiots. The fact that we believe such people are clever and give them so much power causes so many of the world's problems.
    A bit like many politicians, perhaps?
