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?
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.
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???
It didn't do Southampton or Palace any harm, although it's horrible to see the other smaller business get shafted though.
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.
they were 'upgraded' until the end of the season, the season has now ended so surely revert to previous roles
It seems I forgot to add the line where I agreed with you.
Although Lee and JJ are still employed by the club, I cannot see much regarding new players happening as Lee is, or was on holiday and JJ is now on holiday.

There's something wrong where Administration can seem the best option for a football club.
As you say...it's disgraceful how it's the small local businesses that suffer.
I don't know what the right punishment is......but a points deduction is clearly nowhere near penal enough given the examples that you have stated.
You didn't mention Leicester.....possibly the biggest example of Administration punishment being too lenient.

So where is the actual quote that states this clearly James ? it might well be hidden between pages of fish jokes but most things I have read have been a bit on the vague side. Fingers and toes crossed that it will all go through fine and soon but a clear statement from the Aussies or from anyone not CL related would make me feel much more positive.

all this hand wringing and conspiracy theory BS cos it's all gone quiet for a day or 2 - anyone given any thought to maybe the cancerous old scumbag is insisting on levels of confidentiality until everything is signed, sealed, settled and EFL'ed, belts, braces, i's crossed and t's dotted? Not cos there's any real need but just cos he's an egomaniac fucktard with a grudge or seven? Plus, knowing his erratic bilious history, if I was the would be buyer, I'd keep my head down until I was dead sure roly's scrawny arse was right out of the picture cos he can't be trusted an inch. He's just as likely to move the goalposts or pull out all together, just cos he can and he's an egomaniac fucktard. And I'm not even a resentful former employee pissing vinegar. Gerard M or any of your colleagues, if you're reading this - get all the locks changed at the Valley and Sparrows Lane and everywhere cos roly's a grudgeful, egomaniac fucktard worthy of absolutely zero trust.

Fingers and toes crossed that it will all go through fine and soon but a clear statement from the Aussies or from anyone not CL related would make me feel much more positive.
He said ‘we’ve done our bit, it’s with the EFL’.
As you say fingers crossed. Hopefully we’ll hear everything when Muir gets back, or something might leak before.

If it's announced before we could then organise a welcoming party at Terminal Five or wherever. A bit like this...only bigger.

I will be back in the UK on 13th June and will be very upset if, after all this buggering about, they conclude everything while both Mr Muir and I are both out of the country. Have a meeting with a solictor in Gravesend on 13th at 3pm so could be at the Valley for the formal announcement and VIP champagne reception about 5pm, if that helps with the event planning at all.

Does Muir have to be here for the announcement? For all we know, whilst he was over here, he may have already staged the scarfy photos in different parts of the ground/on the pitch etc, shaking hands with all and sundry required for the press/news release. If as suspected, Murphy is to be Chairman/CEO, he would remain here for day to day business

All this talk of travel and staged photos is so dated.
He could simply link up live to do any interviews or to make the announcement. He could even have a lovely picture of the Valley behind him and be wearing his new scarf. Catch up chaps.
PS. How do you load a boarding pass onto your phone if it has been emailed to you?

(Not that keen on vol-au-vents, by the way).
As if there’d be any vol-au-vents! Someone would have hoovered them up long before you get the chance
Tony Jiminez was technically the owner of CAFC when they took over, but it was slater who was doing the photos and the tv interviews on the day they took over, iirc.
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 !
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.
He's going to Australia to complete the checks? There's dedication for you. Thanks for the inside info @Addickted
More like he's gone walkabout & he is propping up the bar.

Don't think Jiminez actually owned that much of the club either. Didn't the recent court case struggle to show that?

The court ruled that neither Jiminez nor Cash owned the club, although they had obtained a loan by (falsely) saying they controlled it. It also found that Slater did have substantial shareholding, although few people believe that to be the full truth and Jiminez referred to Slater in an an email as being “a method actor” playing a part. In reality it appears they had set out to obscure the ownership through BVI trusts and then couldn’t satisfy the judge that they had ownership when it suited them to do so.
The court ruling effectively meant the club broke league rules by publishing bogus and/or incomplete ownership information in its official declaration, in turn making nonsense of the fit and proper persons test.

Has the EFL ever explained how that lot were deemed 'fit and proper?'

As you say...it's disgraceful how it's the small local businesses that suffer.
I don't know what the right punishment is......but a points deduction is clearly nowhere near penal enough given the examples that you have stated.
You didn't mention Leicester.....possibly the biggest example of Administration punishment being too lenient.
