    I’ve asked. I’ve been told my call is important and I’ve been placed in a queue. An operator will be with me shortly

    Bloody cheeky

    What is the record for longest ever CL thread?

    If every comment (25,300 at the moment) was printed on an A4 sheet of paper and they were laid in a line it would be 4.6 miles long...
    You'd have to stand 1,686 double decker buses on top of each other to reach up to to 4.6 miles in the sky.

    So if what @Addickted says is correct, are we at the stage where, using a house buying analogy, we are about ready to exchange contracts?

    Because I have a horrible feeling that Roland is going to change his mind and take the fridge freezer with him after all.

    Well he can't take the boiler because we ain't got one!

    Yep. If there was a way to filter this thread to only read @DOUCHER and @nth london addick 's contributions we could have all saved ourselves a hell of a lot of time from muddling through the residual tittle tattle over the past year.

    Looking forward to it and his further vindication.

    Received a message from my contact.

    I'm keeping it secret, even though it details the exact time and date of the sale, the name of the new manager, a list of the players they're signing, and details about the new online fans forum they're setting up, where promotes are given mainly for excellent fish puns. Oh, and there's also a link to a map for some reason.

    I thought for a minute you had hooked it James

    8th or 9th but come on.

    James Seed told us this nearly two weeks ago.

    Addicted told us yesterday about the EFL paperwork.

    Others have said it's done bar the EFL sign off and will be announced when Muir is in the country

    This is not new news. It's not a scoop.

    Not really lol no. They've been pretty much spot on hitherto in comparison to most even though @DOUCHER has received a lot of unnecessary and unwanted flak for not being on the approved list for this sort of thing.

    Thrillingly I am able to take the wind out of @DOUCHER 's sails.

    Yes, I've had a message from he who must not be named, and he has exclusively revealed to me (it's all about me of course), that..... you know what, I'll let him speak for himself .....

    'Hi mate. I am back in Aus tidying up my other business interests. Everything progressing well.' [Name redacted for reasons of confidentiality].

    Eat that, so called @DOUCHER !

    Let's see what you've got!

    I agree NLA has been consistent with his message all along and has turned out to be pretty much right throughout. However, anyone who can read must have worked out that Douchers story has changed a hundred times depending on what other info others have produced. Especially early on it was changing on a weekly basis. He may have got some stick but in my view it's deserved for his style of posting and confrontational approach.

    Right update on EFL.

    Appendix 3 completed and returned, BUT with some qualifications over possibly two 'relevant persons' - one of which is in relationship to 'Association between Clubs'.

    I can only assume that the EFL have gone into detailed examination of all the members of the consortium and there is an issue with a couple of them who may (or may not) have joined the party late in the day.

    A Different analogy: I assume this is like an 'advisory' on a Cars MOT?

    Needs to be sorted but can pass regardless

    So Takeover is all but complete?
