Administration and recovery

[nicholaldo]

Note the interim head of the EFL said the takeover is ‘very close’ and just a matter of ‘paperwork being completed’ on the radio this evening.....

That sounds positive, needs to be done in the next 24 hours though.

Yep. Though that’s what admins have said since yesterday. Though in fairness it is very very complicated with lots of paperwork.

That's undoubtedly good news but I'm led to believe she also confirmed that if the takeover hasn't been completed by Saturday we won't be playing. I hope that's just a precautionary clarification and not that they feel there's a danger it won't be done in time.

I might be (probably am) completely wrong in thinkin that a few people want to be last man standing. Not thinking of anyone in particular, it's all Toblerone to me.

I thought her most interesting remark came when she was asked what would happen if the takeover wasn't completed ahead of Saturday's game? To which she answered "You can't apply a deadline to these things".

I loved this one:

Bolton: Ched Evans wants to sign for Bolton and won’t take no for an answer...allegedly

I thought the interview was quite reassuring, she sounded very positive & unless I misheard her I'm sure that she said that they had been talking until 3am yesterday, before the interview this evening & that the dialogue would continue this evening following the GMR interview - she sounded confident that the deal would be signed before the weekend.

I’m pretty sure fixture will be suspended if takeover not done. And I guess deadline is done in time to register players for Saturday.

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.

I'd like to announce the DEAL IS DONE (which I believe was the critria set out above...).

I'm off for a bit now. I've received a lot of paperwork I need to get through... I've handed it over to a minion who is charging a mere fraction of my fees, but the sheer amount is weighing heavily on my schedule.

[DJBlu]

12.01pm tomorrow.

Sorry Bertie.

Wheater will be the 1st to sign.

[HMX]

Hey Jimbo, get off my 9am hour slot! I wuz 'ere first

[Worthy4England]

3 minutes until HMX is in the hot-seat. All I can say is I did announce it at 20:00 last night, so I should win under the rules. Slack bastards.
