Re: Administration and recovery
Which brings us back to the point that the only reason the EFL were convinced that the takeover would occur was because of a loan that isn't a loan because it hasn't been lent...BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 1:54 pmLost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 1:45 pmSo, we are a minimum of three weeks away from the hotel completing.

The EFL were told the takeover would happen in time for Saturday's game and that assurance was what they required. The administration team will not take us into the season and you cannot play unregistered youths as I've pointed out.
The takeover has to happen before Saturday and on Monday the EFL were suitably convinced it will.

Re: Administration and recovery
End of a month would probably make sense to me, to start on 1 August (Think there's a payment due in from EFL on 1 Aug too), which would make it tonight to sign, tomorrow in the chair. I agree with Spotty, that I don't understand at this stage of a protracted negotiation what is still materially outstanding that would take it right up to the wire - if it was that material you'd question whether Saturday was likely at all, too. If it's that time sensitive that two days additional grace will make some sort of material difference, it doesn't augur well.

Re: Administration and recovery
I don't think it'll be done either. They might muddle a team together like the Chester friendly but this is properly fecked up.

Re: Administration and recovery
I think the general rule though is that there are unlimited changes to that registration until the transfer window shuts. So we could put them in for Sat and then take them out when we make senior signings up to the end of the window.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 1:33 pm
If we do they will be in our squad of 23/4 and take up those spaces. And I do not know this but suspect the EFL will say "No" to that.
The assurance the EFL wanted was that the takeover would be done and a squad of "suitable" players registered. I will make an assumption that means the odd youngster is ok, but half a squad full is not.
Not sure how embargo affects that other than needing EFL sign-off but if the options are: we can register enough kids to get a team out Sat pending registration of the queue of others and then take them out; or, Saturday gets postponed, I cannot see them going for the latter.
My feel it in my waters reckon is it'll all go through and announced to start from 1st of the month tomorrow, triggering PFA loan, EFL sign off and then mad rush to sign and register people for Sat.

So in light of the above when d'y'all think the announcement the DEAL IS DONE will occur?
We could do a sweepstake - 10 internet £ per prediction. Prediction must occur prior to announcement (anywhere ontinternet).
My £10 internet pounds are on no announcement of takeover prior to Saturday 15:00 hours.

Re: Administration and recovery
Yep. Would be daft of the EFL to say "you can't play loads of kids" then "now you've played them you can't play anybody else". A middle ground should easily be reached, and as you say, it should be fine to change that first "squad" as long as we can prove we can afford it. It tends to be called a soft embargo.Prufrock wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 2:36 pmI think the general rule though is that there are unlimited changes to that registration until the transfer window shuts.

Also you'd imagine the offers will be ready for at least three and maybe five mature players - say Wheater, O'Neil, Hobbs, Buckley, Conway/Pringle - as soon as the hammer comes down, even if they're only six-month suck-it-and-see contracts. Plus financially savvy offers to Brockbank, Politic etc to increase their asset value and resale value as much as their instant first-team availability.

Re: Administration and recovery
The embargo restricts you to a squad of 23 or 24 depending on the mood of EFL. They are termed "established players". If an 17 year old is registered as an academy player they are unable to play for first team - if they are then registered for 1st team and appear in a match day squad they become established and count in the 23 and 24. Under embargo you have that as a maximum you cannot "deselect" players because the point of said embargo is financial monitoring. Making sure you aren't spending too much.Prufrock wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 2:36 pmI think the general rule though is that there are unlimited changes to that registration until the transfer window shuts.

We know the EFL can change the rules as they see fit but KA seemingly had a relationship with Shaun Harvey that we can't assume exists between FV and new EFL board.
