This has to be the most boring saga of all time.
And we all know it's going to end in a massive anti-climax

I reckon they'll all be doing overtime to get this done Paolo! |

I think you are right but I just can't see the FL rushing up the decision in time for this. |

And in fairness why should they? We (as a club) know what the procedure is (or if we didn't, it's another aspect of this we failed to prepare properly for), it was always going to take a few weeks, it's not the League's fault that the timing of this suits Black's accountants better than it suits us. |

I would be more upset if the FL agreed to everything and then in a few months it all went tits up, they are trying to ensure the new owners are the right ones for the club rather than just the old owners saying they are.

It always takes this long. longer in many instances. Much of it will be getting proof of funds, business plans etc. That still doesn't really protect the business, anymore than you or I buying something from someone, but I presume it's supposed to put off real chancers. Reaility is, most dodgy geezers find a way of proving anything anyway - see Notts County. It's all a bit of a charade, but ours is taking no longer than usual.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the process tbh, it's still largely a process of self-certification, but at least there is some form of process and some kind of check that they (for example) actually have a business plan, which is better than it was a few years back. EDIT: And what Rob T said. |

I think we should get Lionel Blair to host the takeover process at the FL.
