When will the takeover go through? The Waiting Game...

[Boreham Blue]

The solicitors are working hard to get this deal signed sealed delivered.

In an ideal world it will be done in the next 24 hours and season cards go on sale Monday. I think we will shift the most for years. I hope the ticket office staff are prepared.

I’m assuming that the council have no role in this bit of the process and it’s just the sale between Citizen and COSU as officers are likely to be tied up preventing signing.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

I'm getting one despite not being able to make all of them

I imagine alot more fans like me will be in a similar vain

Once the takeover is done, we really are in a exciting era

That's plain selfish!

If you're going to miss all of them let someone else have the seat!

My dad's banking on me missing them all so he can go

Not citizen but the martins as they own the club and land etc

This deal is like downloading music off the net in the late 90s - you'd get to 95% and then it would grind to a halt and no matter how hard you look the screen it doesn't seem to budge to the elusive 100% ...

[Harry Bullocks]

Maybe I’m being a bit (****ed), presumptiouous , but I intend putting my money where my mouth is and supporting COSU by buying a season ticket and advising the club to resale my seat ooooo eh misses if I can’t make it.
Double bubble and helping out the best supported club in the NL home and away

Where are we with regards to contracts being with solicitors?

Are we waiting for them to be drawn up, or have been drawn up and awaiting review/sign off?

Grantley Adams is one of those airports you do not want to be stuck in long . I wish you all the best in getting home soon.

Two more flights cancelled for me to St Lucia today so I am here yet another night as my 2 seats on my flight home from St Lucia depart without me. Attempting to go to Antigua tomorrow and then home from there.

Delay the takeover announcement til Friday for me please.

 

[leeblue]

Friday announcement would be preferable as I am working tomorrow. And I really do wanna celebrate with a beer in the east car park and the blue boar.

They should already have been drawn up. They will however need to be amended to reflect whatever was agreed Tuesday. The other side will then need to check the amendments. There will probably be some back and forth over the language for the amendments but in theory most of it should have been already decided.

I suspect Ron will need to gain other party’s consent (CBRE, Citizen and maybe some more lenders?). This should have been lined up.

If security is involved the Consortium’s lawyers will need to review this as well.

I'm sure there will be a touch of back and forth - just trying to understand how long it will be before we are raising a glass

I definitely feel like touching back and forth if and when this goes through. Cum on you Blues?

This thread has become a really smutty place of late with it's (not very subtle) double entendres. I'm find it very hard to swallow to be frank, and I've really given it a go at accepting. Maybe I'm just anal. Can it please stop. I'm off now to clean my apartment's internal shaft, and when I get back, I expect to see evidence of you all pulling back.

Glad to see decorum restored.
