Well he can't take the boiler because we ain't got one!Macronate said:So if what @Addickted says is correct, are we at the stage where, using a house buying analogy, we are about ready to exchange contracts?
Because I have a horrible feeling that Roland is going to change his mind and take the fridge freezer with him after all.2 -

April 2017, original post. 14 months on, could the OP have got the scoop right?Doucher said:1 -
Received a message from my contact.
I'm keeping it secret, even though it details the exact time and date of the sale, the name of the new manager, a list of the players they're signing, and details about the new online fans forum they're setting up, where promotes are given mainly for excellent fish puns. Oh, and there's also a link to a map for some reason.24 - Sponsored links:

Yep. If there was a way to filter this thread to only read @DOUCHER and @nth london addick 's contributions we could have all saved ourselves a hell of a lot of time from muddling through the residual tittle tattle over the past year.Taxi_Lad said:

James Seed told us this nearly two weeks ago.
Addicted told us yesterday about the EFL paperwork.
Others have said it's done bar the EFL sign off and will be announced when Muir is in the country
This is not new news. It's not a scoop.

Not really lol no. They've been pretty much spot on hitherto in comparison to most even though @DOUCHER has received a lot of unnecessary and unwanted flak for not being on the approved list for this sort of thing.JamesSeed said:

Thrillingly I am able to take the wind out of @DOUCHER 's sails.
Yes, I've had a message from he who must not be named, and he has exclusively revealed to me (it's all about me of course), that..... you know what, I'll let him speak for himself .....
'Hi mate. I am back in Aus tidying up my other business interests. Everything progressing well.' [Name redacted for reasons of confidentiality].
Eat that, so called @DOUCHER !
Let's see what you've got!18 -

I agree NLA has been consistent with his message all along and has turned out to be pretty much right throughout. However, anyone who can read must have worked out that Douchers story has changed a hundred times depending on what other info others have produced. Especially early on it was changing on a weekly basis. He may have got some stick but in my view it's deserved for his style of posting and confrontational approach.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

A Different analogy: I assume this is like an 'advisory' on a Cars MOT?Addickted said:Right update on EFL.
Appendix 3 completed and returned, BUT with some qualifications over possibly two 'relevant persons' - one of which is in relationship to 'Association between Clubs'.
I can only assume that the EFL have gone into detailed examination of all the members of the consortium and there is an issue with a couple of them who may (or may not) have joined the party late in the day.
Needs to be sorted but can pass regardless
So Takeover is all but complete?1
