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

[Medway Blue]

Still very much expecting good news in the next few days, by the way.

Nothing has negatively changed since I said this.

still no clear timeline of NL actually signing it off? Just feels a bit unfair on their part to just say "in some time"

Times ticking away regarding season tickets, car park passes etc.

At this rate it'll be another mad rush

How do we know they haven't done so yet? Things could be in a position now where an announcement is being prepared.

I'm not saying that is necessarily the case, but it's a possibility.

Perhaps this is all being taken into account ahead of an announcement, and lots of ducks are being lined up before that story appears on the website.

They're getting temps in to man the phones in preparation for;
1; An announcement
2; Season ticket sales
3; Car park passes

I would imagine that COSU are working on a full statement, and are getting the prep done so that when the red lights go out it is "Go Go Go" - to channel the late, great Murray Walker!

There is an advert for turnstile operators on the website

I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong!) that Woking are the longest-serving club in the division by quite some way - so arguably they've had that. After 20 of so years at the same level, it's hard to argue against "rolling the dice" - especially looking at the likes of Sutton, Bromley, Harrogate, Salford etc who've made the leap as traditionally smaller clubs.

Woking were promoted from Conference South in 2018/19. There are a few other clubs that have been there longer. We have only been 2 seasons less than them in this division

NL should crack on, as we are itching to buy our season tickets.

I'm sure they know how this is negatively impacting our preparations. And I'm sure they don't give a rat's arse. (Wording deliberately chosen.)

Let's face it. The NL are probably hyper vigilant with any transaction involving RM because of their experience of dealing with him in recent years.

They aren't looking at the transaction are they? They're just conducting a fit and proper persons check. (Or am I mistaken?)

When you said it earlier this week, last week or the week before that?

In all seriousness thank you for your updates and your work behind the scenes. I appreciate that they’ve been so many soons that your sources will now be reluctant to put times on things.

Fingers crossed we’re over the line soon.

It all boils down to a very simple fact that football clubs need to be accountable as businesses. EFL and NL should give the clubs x seasons to conform. No limited liabilities no offshore havens, if clubs need to inject cash then automatic points deduction. None of this Premier League FFP nonsense, that was and is utter bs. I wish the PL would adopt proper rules but that could still mean that clubs relegating from PL have a season to conform to EFL rules. Let the rich megaclubs bugger off to a Super League. After a few seasons the fans will get bored. No fans, no advertising revenue, reduced media deals. It was different years ago. The sums involved were manageable (just).

The FA conduct the Fit and Proper Persons check not the NL.

This is apparently with the NL.

I don't think we know. Someone said fit and proper were carried out by the FA not NL. Plus should be carried out earlier in the process - for example I seem to recall the Kimura guys doing the fit and proper stuff

And so it goes on with endless speculation and little factual information as to the exact state of play. Rather disappointing that the consortium have not issued a clear and unambiguous statement setting out exactly how things stand which would put a stop to all the guesswork and rumours..

The only way those ducks are in a row is if they are arguing.

Ron tapped just about everyone in south Essex up for money surely he wouldn't have left out his dear old folks.

From one of the 'nicer' names he's been referred to on here, i didn't think he had any!.
