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

[kentblues]

Agree - was it Kimura who completed that process at one point?

I don't think any of the itk have said we're waiting for that though - but that we are awaiting 'league ratification' whatever that means

Indeed it seems compulsory to talk in riddles so every statement raises more questions than it answers…
But if these things are already done than how can “ratification’ take so long?

It`s laughable really from what Martin has basically abandoned the club, up to his eyeballs in debt, and numerous HMRC court cases, WUP`s, the list of debtors is endless. This is where a Regulatory Authority should be monitoring Football Clubs for accountability purposes and highlight any causes for concern. I`m sure that COSU are decent people with the club at heart, and will deliver the highest of standards for all to see in the future.

My point is that one lone individual who wants to own a Football club should not be allowed to " do what he or she wants", a board of Directors should be consulted with another set of eyes on the running of the club and for voting purposes, etc..... I`m rambling on but hopefully you get the idea.

Hopefully it will be a thing of the past and boy it will be a breath of fresh air for what all Shrimpers have suffered over the many years of the `s tenure.

Onward and Upwards

Never mind just football clubs, these Directors' responsibilities are enshrined in Company Law. I guess ours weren't looking too closely.

New kit launch about to be done too. Suppose that is also a negative for many on here.

I was gona say, surely that’s a good sign? Some will turn it into deals off tho lol

 

[kentblues]

The odd thing is the NL league pre-empted their own "process" by stating that there would be no need for their bond if the club were sold to COSU. And the very point of the bond was to ensure we were financially sound and able to complete next seasons fixtures?

A paradox indeed!

I do hope there is some mega grand reveal planned once it has gone through.

A corner flag and a few words on the website wont cut it, after what we've all been through.

I want a no expense spared hollywood blockbuster reveal. COSU riding in on horses or a kangaroo, giant rats getting slayed, dramatic music, pyro, Mork wearing the new kit, Steve driving Ron out of the county.

This is your time to shine SUFC Media Dept. over to you.

I suppose you'll be wanting a documentary featuring The Rock and Ray Winstone (produced by Crate) as well?

With commentary by Steve Nash.

 

[tommy tucker]

I would guess sky sports will say some thing .Also Anglia news They was quick to put out all the bad news ie THE WINDUP court apperance And all the debt the rat run up .So it would be nice to see some good news on there for a change.

Takeover Marketing 101

When announcing a takeover, launch in the spirit of your new train company shirt sponsor by making it late and sending it out on a platform most people were not expecting.

You sound like you have experience in these things

Haha. In a weird parallel universe, that’s very true! But that’s something you know that nobody else does! ;-)

Shirt launch coupled with league ratification= East stand car park party

Do they have to check on each of the 10 members that are taking over the club .Hope not that could take weeks .

I assumed that these would have already been submitted in advance, which is why I didn’t mention them.

Of course this may have dragged on so long that they now require a more up to date utility bill and certified copy of a passport!

Not sure they will look at leasehold arrangements for the ground. That seems an EFL requirement rather the NL as shown by the Gateshead nonsense.

It’s the FA who conduct the fit and proper test on behalf of the NL- so we may be imploring the wrong incompetent organisation to get a wiggle on…

The 10 year requirement is an EFL thing but I’m assuming the NL also requires some proof that you’ll have a ground to play on for the season.

I think they’ll also be after evidence that the consortium own the club, some form of budget and proof of funds.

This would be separate from the FA’s Fit and Proper test. I think I read it was the NL that we were waiting on rather than the FA.
