Is one of the trust bods able to put a rough timescale on things if all ran smoothly? Is there any way in hell he could be involved before the January transfer window?
If not, are welooking at the end of the season??
IMHO I think that is a bit optimistic, judgeing by the noises that have come out of SN1 the last couple of weeks and I think we have got some hard work to do before it actually "happens".
Dont forget, we still need to get agreement from SSW that he is prepared to start negotiations yet.
Once those are underway then a period of due dilligence will be entered into. Now this is an intricate process even with the most simplest of buyouts/purchases, but judgeing by the legacy issues that could well be left for the consortium to deal with, coupled with the historic trading of the business, this process would need to go down to macro level (all of which will not happen over night).
This is even before Heads of Agreement are negotiated, drawn up and signed.
Of course I for one would love it to happen before January for the obvious reasons, but realistically I cant see it.
Sorry to piss on the bonfire so to speak
