The breaking News thread...

So if FL have approved deal, are we now officially owned by SS, so it's up to them now to convince HMRC (rather than the previous Board of Directors)??

Well all this right now is rumour. So who knows?

Imagine that is the case, but possible they aren't owners till validation order granted.

Not me, is why I was asking.

Answer: Nobody knows anything. Nothing is known. Not even what the rumour is, that's how much we don't know... we can even find out what's been made up.

Still infuriatingly unclear. LoVS tweet:

In summary I can confirm what @MarcIles has tweeted. Unable to mention earlier as info wasn't from a direct source.

The only thing Iles, who's on holiday today, has tweeted is:

#bwfc applying for extension. Sports Shield claim all funds and docs in place. FL approval also given.

Back to LoVS:

As reported FL approved takeover Sun night and club looking for an adjournment so monies can be transferred. Judge to decide at 2pm.

Make of that what you will.

I am choosing to make of that - that it's all reet...

We just need until 2pm to dot the i's and cross the t's - though, as I often suggest to people writing long documents and contracts it is MUCH easier to dot the i's and cross the t's as you go along.... some keyboards even have the dots and the crosses included with the basic letter shape!

[Worthy4England]

I think there's more to it than that. I heard rumours that we'd turned up with some few hundred whiskey bottles full of 2 and 1p pieces, with the odd pi$$ed up 10 bob thrown in...it's going to take a good two weeks for HMRC to count it...

[Gary the Enfield]

Really don't want this to be over soon.......


All we'll have left is the deep stare into the abyss of the remaining season, and our lives to be getting on with. Oh, the lonely heartbreaking despair........

OTHERWISE YOU GET AN ALPHABET LIKE THIS ONE:

AND INSTEAD OF WRITING "STILL CAN'T TELL YET" YOU GET:

Pull yourself together and grow some balls of iron. And some legs of iron, and some arms of iron, and a head of iron.

I don't get where in any of that, even if it were to be wrong, lies a libel.
Nor indeed anything that constitutes a HUGE rumour...

[thebish]

I have it on good authority - OK, LeverEnd told me - that Iles has an absolutely HUGE, throbbing rumour...

At least you've got some sauce.

Struggling to see what the hold up is here, if they have FL approval then takeover is complete and they just need to pay the bill. If they are saying that they need more time as seems to be being reported they need to come out and say why and explain to fans.

I won't hold my breath here.

Cheque got lost in the post

We got the BACS details wrong and have actually stuck £2 million in the RSPCA bank account

Eddies conditioned the £2 million on HMRC renaming their disabled bog the 'Eddie Davies throne room'.

Who knows? Past caring now.

aye - but that could easily take until 2pm - first you've got to find the cheque-book - then you have to write it - and it's a very big number and quite difficult to fit in the tiny space they give you - then you have to get all the people who need to coutersign it - and THEN - crucially - you need to find that tax freepost payments envelope that they sent with the bill - ED is looking through his drawers... it'll be in there somewhere...

Nope.
I have the dope on this. In their haste to dot the eyes and cross the tees the cheque has been made out for two point two mittion. Overzealous on the tee crossing. Causes chaos at the tellers till.
