    I said that when I met Addickted at Rochdale I didn’t think he had been correct about the papers being with the EFL, but that was only the position at that time. The denials (plural) from within the EFL are now dated and have not been repeated since.

    I am a bit thick. Have the papers been filed with the EFL, yes or no? It is all a bit cryptic for me.

    Seeing as how we call a thread 'takeover' and it will never ever happen, should we start a thread called 'Roland stays forever' in the hope that won't happen either?

    Why would anyone pay £40M+ for a business worth only half of that? Why? Even if it was Paid in instalments & they stick 50% on top, £30M max.
    I don't think its even that close. The Aussies turning up just to put a bit of pressure on I reckon. We've already had one consortium in the Royal box that have run away, why not another.

    Documents have been sent to the EFL.

    That doesn’t happen unless a deal is done. A deal is not done if the buyer doesn’t show proof of funds to the seller and also to the EFL.

    I’m still convinced this is close.

    I don't know, I'm asking. But is that correct? Is it possible that to avoid wasting everyone's time you can get "pre-approval" from the EFL? A sort of football equivalent of Capital One's credit card "100% Free Eligibility Checker".

    If you put a house on the market at an inflated price some people will still come and take a look. But it would be pretty unusual for them to be still looking at it a year later.

    Not if it's come down from £77M to £60M and now down to £40M

    Unless you really want that house and you know no one else will offer close to that valuation so you hang around waiting for the seller to drop their price.

    On another forum there is further conflicting news, one is saying Aussies are really pushing for the deal as it is good for them but may not hold out much longer, however the deal is not as good for RD. Also states a group whose interest went cold a few weeks ago have been back in contact this week.

    Another is saying that the above is wrong.

    God knows whats happening, but all the time this non-conclusion of the deal continues, CAFC are not in any position to build for next season, and will, I guess, ultimately be the losers come August. I fear the end game is still some way off, and whilst I thought everything was positive, over the last few days I've changed my opinion and think we may be stuck with RD for another season.....god help us!!

    Difficult to not be a nuisance with my EFL contact - he'd tell me if there were any updates on what I posted a couple of weeks ago, so I don't like to push it too much.

    Last contact was on Monday ("Good to hear from you. You're about the only person whose contacting me NOT wanting Wembley tickets) and said he'd heard nothing more about the Article 3 documentation, though there were rumbles going round that another 'fit and proper' test has hit some snags over definitions.

    I can only think that is Sunderland.

    I have a very good source who reckons that the sale is currently held up because Roly is too busy elsewhere to do the necessary paperwork. Apparently, he's been working hard to improve the team next season. He's already lined up a striker from last-year's successful Dog and Duck XI.

    Bexley is just saying Angel is incorrect, others now saying Angel is right and Bexley is wrong.....all seems a load of old bull to me and my best guess is no-one really knows diddlysquat currently.

    @Addickted said, IIRC, that the EFL had been put on standby by CAFC to expect an Fit and proper application, not that the papers had been sent.

    Don't know if that has changed subsequently @Airman Brown

    What if, when you're trying to sell your house there's loads of Belgians in there, a weird kid who sits in the corner playing Football Manager all day, an elderly woman scoffing vol-au-vents and a bald fat bloke handing out sandwiches to everyone?
