The fit and proper persons test at Wigan last season set precedent for this and took an absolute age. Seems to be when the takeover is from outside the UK it adds quite a chunk to the timeframe, think our favourite friend Nixon mentioned that a few weeks back.

Whether Clem gets control of the club,today, tomorrow or next week is immaterial.
We are not going g to be able to compete this season. The best we can hope for is to be a viable company/football club by the start of next season.
Then, aim to get back into the league.
Who knows, in five years time we could be a third division side again.
I'm not trying to troll anybody, just add a bit of perspective to this thread. Days don't matter, weeks don't matter. Start looking long term

I think we’d all have some sympathy with the EFL we’re it not for the fact they seem to let people take over clubs who clearly should not be allowed to, and then go slow at precisely the moment that you need a decision.
No sympathy with them at all, lazy fuckers, just need to get off their asses and press a few buttons. If questions need answering just ask them, Surely it can't be that difficult ??. |

I don't see how they can be accused of being lazy when we don't know exactly what the process is and what is left to be done. It might even be out of their hands by now.

I was looking at the Wigan takeover this morning. The new owner is from Bahrain and as you say an outside UK takeover takes longer than inside. |

...and if Clem turns out to be another Power and we are in the same situation in a few years we’ll be crying bloody murder as to why the EFL approved it in the first place and how they didn’t do enough research / due diligence |

There's a running theme with your posts, DV... I can understand the hesitancy but given the lack of any real evidence to base the doom and gloom on, there's an equal chance he's the best fucking thing to happen to this club and within five years we'll be in the Premier League sticking six past Arsenal. Keep the faith. |

I might be totally wrong, but I believe Hartlepool aren't in that much of a better situation than us player wise. Yes they have staff and a management team but on the pitch I don't think they have that many more senior players than we have. |

Which running theme is that? I get what you’ve said ...but...my point was regardless of what Clem is or is not or may or may not be - the EFL approval will take time. As we’ve experienced ourselves (and are right now with Power) a quick sale to get rid of an owner we don’t want is likely to not work out. If the EFL has been this thorough when Power took over - he might have been refused and none of this would ever have happened! I’d rather the EFL take their time so we and everyone knows Clem is legit rather than the EFL rush it through and we get stung again. |

From the trust on twitter:
We've heard no official news as of yet, we will posted as soon as we hear. Morfuni definitely WON'T be at the Supermarine game tonigh, as isn't in the country and won't be able travel outside of Australia until 2022

...obviously above I’ve made the assumption that the EFL delay is due to them actually doing *things* rather than just playing Angry Birds instead of working.

Indeed, human beings are nothing it not fickle, see also the penalty against Denmark and Hamilton v. Verstappen over the weekend. |
