no, no it won't.

They have just spent big on Maupay who also scored goals at this level and has then had a couple of years PL experience.

Everton were nver anywhere never making a bit before either, his name appeared on a large long list of potential strikers they could look at

Good

Interesting.

on iPad, the sticky header works, on iPhone, it doesn’t.

I must have eaten some magic mushrooms for lunch.
The layout of the site just changed completely, now it's reverted back to normal, has anyone else experienced this?

Mines still different

Clear your cache (or ask your grandson how )

And mine

Fixed it now

 

[SonofErnie]

We're nearly a week on and just wondered when we anticipate formal confirmation from the EFL and both parties on completion of the deal?

 

[wingy]

Longer than a week I think.
Birmingham is nearly four months and still not complete

Blimey, forgot about theirs. Hopefully ours is much quicker!

Theirs is more complex as the new owners are only buying a minority stake initially with the current owner retaining a majority.

King may not be in control before the January window then. Meaning he can't stick to his "not selling players" stance. Convienent caveat?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Must say im really shocked hes not in charge.................

 

[edgy]

Would be good to know if the EFL have actually recieved the proposal yet!

I've messaged them to ask (FOI ? ) , but doubt they'll respond.

 

[edgy]

A reply!!



So from that I'd say the ball is in King and the Club's court.

Did you make this as a FOI request? If so this is a very strange reply. It's not a question of policy whether they provide the information. They have a legal requirement to supply it unless an exemption applies. To be honest I suspect there is an exemption but it has nothing to do with any policy.

Looks like a generic reply from customer services type person?

the EFL are a private organisation so FOI doesn’t apply.

 

[CDK]

The blues prospective owner is a foreign national,so it's going to take longer.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Reading the rules on this Doug King should be pretty straight forward.

It would be if it was a real takeover

How real do you want it ? You not saying he’s a bit of a fraud are you ?

 

[Saddlebrains]

None of it adds up

-No one had ever heard of him
-Another hedge fund with links to SISU
-'Debt Free' Remember when Fisher said that? Moneys just been moved about
- All conveniently announced 16 hours before the court hearing
- Suddenly had 25 Million to outbid Ashley
- Constantly saying 'Subject to approval' as if that's already the get out card lined up
- Conveniently willing to pay £25 Million for a stadium he openly admits hed never been too and hadn't done any due diligence
- Fuck all mentioned about the playing side etc

All quiet on the western front at the minute aswell. The EFL literally have nothing to do while the WC is on and weve heard shit all else.

I just see it as a last minute attempt at hijacking Ashley that was never going to happen but can be ''Look we tried but its everyone else fault' scenario again

 

[matesx]

cant argue with any of that...all feels a massive con

 

[shmmeee]

It does. But equally IF (big if) he’s above board, I think I’d rather a slow and steady Robins+ approach than a sweep in and spend eleventy billion approach.

Talk of a new contract for Vik is promising, trust but verify is my stance so far.

Would be astonished if Gyo signs a new deal. Delighted too mind

They're not even subject to the Freedom of Information Act, the EFL is a private entity owned by its member clubs.

Yes Schmmeee had already pointed that out

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I mean, in their defence, they do to be fair. It's only the Championship not playing for a month. League 1 and League 2 are still going on.

And I'm sure their activities don't solely revolve around specific fixtures.

Kind of agree with the rest of your post though - it all does seem a bit strange.

 

[shmmeee]

It’ll be like buying a house won’t it, having to wait for the police to return a search or whatever?

 

[Mcbean]

Well it would be in his interest as in reality he could go in the summer having made one jump in salary and then get a higher figure - selling in January will only be to a failing Prem team or a team we are competing with - in the summer hes likely to go for much higher money

 

[SkyblueDad]

At the moment Doug King is no difference to any other would be buyer case of us waiting for this EFL verdict. Can’t see it taking that long.
