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

[SUFCJK]

That seems to be the way of things unfortunately

Not like Ron & Co to cut things fine!

Heard yesterday wasn’t a great day in regards to getting this over the line but today was a much more positive day

Why the feck did they go out drinking? Kiss of death that.

If you spent 8 hours in a room with Ron you’d need a pint or 12.

Just cause they went out for a drink doesn’t mean nothing and after dealing with Ron I think we would all do the same

On Independence Day as well, bet the neighbours love that!

I think @CllrDanielCowan will be back on the beers tonight after the results for both Southend seats.

Will the change in MPs from Blue to Red help or hinder the deal. Shame on Anna Firth to lose her seat with her beng quite a vocal supporter of the club (Duddridge less than vocal in my opinion,)

So congratulations to David Burton-Sampson and Bayo Alaba. Hope to see then continuing to champion the cause of Southend United during their terms in office.

Slightly political so I do hope the mods don't remove as I would like to know if the change in party could affect the deal long term with the transfer of assets to POSU once the planning is all agreed.

In theory a change of MP shouldn't now make a difference, but I simply don't trust the rats to not try to use it to their advantage somehow.

Thanks for this information. But I am a bit puzzled.

I thought the Consortium and RM/JM had already agreed a deal and the lawyers were simply double-checking the wording to make sure it was legally watertight and consistent with what was agreed between the parties...

Without going down the politics road......Labour have said 40% of new builds should be affordable (usually meaning small one bedroom flats). So possible before ground is broken at FF they will be back towards the Cox rather than Cowan plan.

Either way there is never large development that doesn't change at some stage. The Garrison, Gas works and Seaway car park are a few recent and local examples. Thats why it was inevitable that the Ron RH for £1 and the £20m deal was always going to change.

Hopefully not long before the highly paid legal guys stop dragging out minor points, as they always do.....At your expense. Then the deal will be completed.

Another one here who will look to get a first time season ticket once the deal is done come on legal eagles get this done

They have. There will always be rumours, whether you chose to believe them or not is a 'choice' thing. In the absence of any news from the involved parties, you have to think that we are on track for an announcement today or Monday.

I don’t believe that to be true.

 

[Boreham Blue]

I don’t believe that to be true.

Which half of the statement?
