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

Can I get a price on the council completing due diligence on the new housing deal before COSU own the club?

I must say, this whole narrative that the NL is out to get us is farcical.

Whilst a lot of stuff that’s happened since we dropped down to this level has appeared to have beeb made up on the spot, it’s because they haven’t had to deal with such serial offenders like us.

We’ve been an absolute basket case for ages, and obviously that includes the whole time in this division.

Last summer, we were minutes away from being booted out. I don’t think some people realise how much they’ve bent over to accommodate us. I’d argue, that if we were a small club, we’d have been dealt with a lot sterner and may not even be competing at this level.

It hasn’t got that close this summer, but we’ve had stipulations in place to allow us to compete.

Whilst some of the decisions from the outside looking in appear to be harsh, and that they are out to get us, they’ve had to deal with RM and rightly have got fed up with his **** and lies.

We won’t be a cause for concern when COSU are in place, which is very soon, and we can just concentrate on supporting a football team and focusing on the things that normal fans just get to concentrate on.

Doubt it given SCC have stated they will not begin their DD until COSU do own the club..

I’m certain it works both ways- and we see only half of it. Maybe they didn’t know how to cope with the issues we brought. There again there is how they implemented the embargo with a complete disregard for player safety. Probably it’s fair to say over the last couple of years the club and the league have deserved each other…let’s hope we can move on very very soon- if not to say very imminently.

Very much doubt that.

Didn’t I see a post that says all NL clubs have to provide detailed financial information including proof of funds on a regular basis regardless?

If the NL are being fair, then even if this rule only applies to those they have concerns about, then I’d expect them to ask for this info very, very quickly, otherwise it has to be implied that Woking won’t be able to fulfill their fixtures.

I get, and agree with, all that. In fact I've argued the same. But why is a fit and proper persons test taking so long? I'm sure if they really wanted they could do it quicker.

Woking: National League team facing administration, admits owner Drew Volpe

Woking's owner says the National League club will go into administration if a buyer cannot be found in the next few weeks - and he is willing to sell for £1.

bbc.co.uk

They spend money they haven’t got on players, which got them a 3rd place two years ago.

The current owner can’t fund the season as he has clearly stated that without a new buyer in weeks the club will go into administration. That speaks for itself. The gymnastics the league go through regarding when to apply their tests or not, or when to request bonds, or not is entirely unclear.

However, it is likely there will be a buyer either pre or post an administration event. The latter will result in a 10 point penalty. But the club will continue to exist and quite possibly in our league. A good thing?

The reality is most clubs are running unsustainably and are at the whim of their owner or owners, and their ability or willingness to keep funding. Accounts and losses indicate a club much smaller than ours losing £1m plus a year. So presumably the league accepted very recently the owner could keep underwriting such losses- turns out he can’t even with the help of the Bank of Mum and Dad…

Does anyone know what the actual delay is with the NL? I presume fit and proper owner tests were done a while back?

How do you spell INCOMPETENCY ?
