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

[Che's Left Foot]

There is effectively no deadline now as the NL are off our back, so there is no real urgency other than for our sakes. JR and the lads want to do right by the fans, so I think they will announce sooner rather than later. If I hear anything concrete, will let you know. But I am not even vaguely worried that this will collapse now.

Printing and framing this.

F*****g glorious.

That would be a terrible time for an announcement. Tomorrow morning would be ok, as long as they had ducks lined up. Maybe the Shrimpers bar opened for England game, etc. They will know the fans will want to celebrate this. Announcing it at 10pm, aside from the fact that the club's hard working staff might want a weekend, is not ideal.

IF things have gone well (and with respect to the ITKs we have no concrete sources saying they have) then Monday would seem ideal.

Would it not just be a case of sending a tweet - would think they don't need to call anyone in to do that?

False alarm as the Fish House puts water in the chip fat again

Its done just not announced yet

yes i missed that bit. The same principle tho. If the announcement isnt by Sunday evening i will be dissapointed

 

[Harry_Constable]

I think Justin telling me is confirmation enough! You could always walk on it to provide the evidence ...

my mistake then. I was uninformed.

Being at Kiddie in December celebrating... who would've thought it would've taken this long

No it isn't

Been an absolute roller coater since then. Still remember singing 'we've got our club back' bit premature on that one

No it isn't

Why would the embargo be lifted if it ain’t done and we haven’t paid the 1 million it’s done

 

[Medway Blue]

Why would the embargo be lifted if it ain’t done and we haven’t paid the 1 million it’s done

Because the two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

I'm not saying it's going to ****, or it's miles and miles away, but it isn't "done". Not quite.

Absolutely not wanting to **** on any fires, but also don't want people hanging and refreshing as if it's super imminent.

Cause it’s very close to being done and we must have shown that too the NL who are satisfied with that

Is the bond 100% related to the embargo? Cause imo the embargo was lifted due to the WUP. Could it still be possible that the embargo is lifted but the bond is still required (in case the takeover isnt officially completed)

The Embargo would have been removed before today if it wasn’t related to the bond… I think the NL are happy that the deal will be done so have removed the embargo. I’m guessing it’s the very last few bits to go and then it’s done… so hopefully early next week at the latest for an announcement

In your opinion when do you think it will be completed and announced?

Yes, the bond was related to the embargo. It is no longer required. Medway is correct that there are still some legal formalities, but to all intents and purposes, the deal is done. You think the NL would give us the benefit of any doubt?

No - but equally you're saying they have. Deal is 99% done not 100% is what I'm reading from yourself and Medway.

Makes sense, hard to believe that something is going our way..

 

[AlfaShrimper]

Far to many different versions of "it is done" the only time it is "done" is when officially announced by the club
