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

[Holy Joe]

A waiting for who game though?

Or what?

On the face of it the continuous day after day delay is odd and disconcerting. It's all very well getting, day after day, reassurance from clearly well connected posters to relax but why can't we have the reassurance from a more official channel ? On the one hand we have a seeming 100% confidence in the sale/purchase going through and on the other there are no season tickets on sale and the expenditure needed to get the training pitches in order is on hold. I can only assume that there is an agreement to silence from all parties until the deal is signed, sealed and locked in the safe. That would mean it isn't yet which doesn't make me feel relaxed.

To not hear from COSU on the current state of play makes me wonder was it really all down to Tony Cox why we hardly heard anything under his time as the head of the negotiations

This is boring now.

Always seems to be so close and then we wait weeks and months on end being told constantly its basically done and its soon to be announced and more and more time passes.

As painful as watching England this.

Would be nice if they said something.! They must have an update if it will be this week??

When the club released the statement regarding the embargo being lifted last week, I found it strange there wasn't a mention of the takeover. That tells me it's not done as some posters may suggest. The takeover is becoming a bit of farce now. Just get it done!

I’m as frustrated as anyone about the delay but none of us are on the hook for millions based on a deal with the Martins and so maybe we have to wait until they get the details right to protect their personal wealth.

Plenty of kite flying on here but until official word from the club or consortium best ignored. Speculation in the guise of informed facts only whips up anticipation and concern and is no help at all.

You can hardly blame people for being concerned

I'm not sure what people are expecting to hear on top of what's already been said tbh. I follow SUFC on Twitter, sorry X .. and have new post notifications switched on. I know the only time news is 100% confirmed it'll come from the club direct.

I think it’s natural to be nervous. 2 weeks ago it was hoped to be done in 2/3 days. We didn’t pay for the round the clock lawyers, but logic then says to double or triple that. Given nothing after 4 times that, and the history, people will be nervous.

If we knew the number of things to do and could see they were getting done, as I suspect the COSU are then we would be less nervous perhaps. But we don’t.

For everybody who wants the deal to complete?

And there might lie the problem

Quite.

The ITKs post in good faith, and we're grateful for that. However, when we're told "maybe this week", "possibly the weekend", "by Monday", "by Friday", "soon", "we're close"... you soon see why the skepticism starts to set in.

It is very frustrating but there's little benefit to an update at this point. After all, COSU are, I gather, waiting on others to ratify and check things over so it's not in their control either.

They wouldn't want to commit to a date to avoid getting any hopes up etc. So I'm not really sure what people want them to say. It's difficult but we just have to wait.
