Have peoples opinions changed on Power? He has failed to meet his obligations to the club while he is still the owner and has willingly run it into the ground - accelerating that in recent weeks. I don't know of any business where you stop paying your staff because someone else will take over at some point. Would he have done the same if he could sell to Able?

Also why the hell does Power care about Morfuni passing the fit and proper persons test? seems odd.

I can think of at least 250,000 reasons?

Because if Clem fails the fit and proper, it scuppers any deal, probably allowing Power to sell to who whoever he likes and/or placing the club into admin.

Power says it's hard to explain to supporters what is going on in the background when he doesn't do social media.. He is the current custodian of a Football club which had a media team and is capable of doing press conferences and posting to social media - I am sorry, but I do not beieve a word of what Power said in that interview - and given the past 18 months, why would I? He has lied to the fans over and over again and treated them with utter contempt - that is enough for me.
Is Clem any better, who knows, but will we exist with Power owning the club? It plainly obvious that the answer to that question is no..
Just get the fuck on with it EFL..

Its actually surprising, that they didnt try and do this owner test much earlier.
Do we actually know when the process was kicked off, with the pace the EFL move at it could have been submitted months back.

I don’t think anyone has changed their opinion on Power. First time we’ve heard him since March and he does it on national media. He’s a serial liar.
I still thinks he wants to sell to able in my personal opinion, he brought it up a couple of times in the interview. He’s probably hoping if he frustrates things and makes it as difficult as possible Clem will pull out and he’ll get his Able deal. Blokes a crook.

There was nothing said to suggest that anything has changed since the last update.
Bit of an overreaction by moi. Built up some hope that we'd hear something more positive, need to listen to it

It's fairly easy to sow doubt and confusion with half truths, Power, and just as easy to sow adulation and hope with the same, Morfuni.
Power's comments about the transfer of Shares is likely entirely true. On the 24th of June, when compelled by Court Order he likely offered to transfer them once he received 250k in his bank account. I think we can take that as the truth. Why? Because, via the Trust, Morfuni confirmed as much.
The Trust advised that Clem essentially had two things necessary to complete before he'd sign over the cash - the first being written commitments to the financial position of the business. Don't forget that the accounts are only to May 2020, an entire year has completed since then, through a Pandemic with no income. Even the published accounts were Opaque, imagine the mess the yet to be signed off ones are/were. It is entirely reasonable to get such commitments before giving over the cash and taking on the mess. The second was EFL approval - not going to submit that until everything kicks off in motion.
Both parties are releasing snippets, all true, but lacking in context. Given the nature of the business and that context, and knowing Power has nothing to gain with the fans, Morfuni should be penning a full throated and long winded official statement about the current situation and expectations for the coming days and weeks. Not the Trust.

Lee Power speaks on radio - great yet fails to communicate to the Supporters for years. Tit for tat after yesterday’s talkshite disaster. Just wish this would get left to the lawyers as it just delays the conclusion of the final deal and ultimately the announcement we are all waiting on.

A very pragmatic view Roberto.
I do wonder what it is (legally) that prevents Morfuni from talking directly. I gues you do want to avoid a war of words but even so..
Hey ho, another weekend in limbo beckons.

As ever RobT to the rescue. The ball is in Clem's court now, as it very much will be if & when he takes over, in terms of convincing an anxious & to a degree a somewhat world weary & cynical fan base.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

There's a podcast and a couple of interviews for you to watch.
