When you think of the shady characters that have taken over clubs and passed the criteria i can over imagine EFL have raised the bar and this Aussie bid may have tried to limbo under it instead. If this info is kosher I hope Henry is correct in his car analogy about just a faulty wiper because i have a depressing thought that we may be written off and end up on the scrap heap.

I don't panic anymore, I've more or less lapsed into a stupor over the whole clusterfuck. I'm almost resigned to Roland still owning the club by the time we kick off our relegation battle in August.
I do wish we all supported a club that kept its fans up to date with things like this.
To be fair CEL I doubt there is any one at the club that has a clue what is going on. My take has always been that RD is talking to the Aussies, the Aussies are talking to RD however a firm deal has not been agreed upon, a fee has not been agreed and no hand shakes have taken place.
Whatever paperwork has been sent to the EFL is a mystery which is why I have always questioned this assumption.
Just going to post the text I got this Tuesday from a close friend who works at the EFL, though not directly involved in the fit & proper owner work. He would have got his information from someone who was directly involved in it though.
"Appendix 3 completed and returned, BUT with some qualifications over possibly two 'relevant persons' - one of which is in relationship to 'Association between Clubs'".
Nothing about failing the test, just some clarifications required.
I will pester him again next week if it's still all quiet over the weekend.
As painful as any delay is and any curtailment certainly would be, I'm glad that EFL seem to be taking it seriously. Frankly, the rules as they stand are woefully inadequate and should include demonstration of knowledge of the league, a workable business plan and commitment to support the team concerned.
It would be a terrible irony though if The Good Guys were excluded and we got stuck with the Rat. Perhaps there's a case for permitting league buyouts in such cases, on the basis that it would be a temporary measure to relieve our sport of despicable vermin.

“Don’t panic” don’t panic, don’t panic.

btw, at the end of the day whatever happens I expect to be safely tucked up with Mrs Large
It's exhausting.
Ps - I hope I’m wrong!

Cue debate on which bank holiday!
Inside the Arctic circle.
Where will you be?
