  • This seems to have gone a bit quiet, is this where they withdraw having stoked up some publicity & move on to a lower division club ?

    I imagine it’s being looked at by The Premier League.
  • BBC north west did a piece on their proposed takeover a night or two ago and introduced as the Egyptian and controversial lawyer Farnell. However the actual story showed them as all sweetness and light

    Apparently it's with the Premier league and they're waiting to see if they pass their OADT

    Lets hope they ain't kept waiting too long to be told NO ;)
  • EFL probably only passed Farnell, so they could pass the problem onto the Premier League and hope he never tries it again with an EFL club

    Nope he asked for pounds though
    I thought the modern way forward was to be paid in Range Rovers anyway, so pennies probably went under the radar.

    Don't forget the Bitches.
    Or the nice breads
    I'll never forget the nice breads...

    Boden certainly doesn't fit into the category of "investigative" journalist...

    If he only forgot to tick a box why didn't he simply resubmit the said form with the correct box ticked? 
    Precisely. Do the EFL immediately fail you passing the fit & proper test because of this & therefore you have to go to appeal, or could you not just say...." silly me - ticked the wrong box. Here's the amended form". Seems rather a convoluted process if so.

    Big hope that is by the EFL, as he will certainly be back again and again
    should ( as we expect) the EPL tell them all to sod off ;)
  • You might want to be a touch more careful of the wording in places, as while Farnell is clearly shit at crafting the wording of injunctions, he may not be so inept at slapping in libel suits.

    I was worried by that but its been through a few editors whom I've asked the same questions to. Its hopefully comes across that the alleged incidents are alleged, the stuff he's done is done and my opinion is my opinion. But any libel case would like blow the matter up to more people for little damage due to it being a voluntary role on a student start-up

    Had to delete due to them being threatened with defamation which they understandably don't want to deal with.

    And apologise officially. Had to bite my tongue
  • Wonder what the hold up is... 

    I thought it was on the verge of completion?

    No, it was reported that the majority shareholder at Burnley had accepted their offer. At the very least it has to go through the Premier Leagues fit & proper test so I would imagine it could take a good few weeks - more like a month or so. I also doubt whether it is a bone fide bid & more likely to be a ruse to smoke out another buyer who is waiting in the wings. 


    If anyone seriously thinks that a 2 bob solicitor who was interested in buying a 3rd tier club for £1 a month ago has now got the funds to buy a Premier League club must be more crazy than Donald Trump.
