Back in the room!! It’s happening!!!JamesSeed said:
Thanks. I don't personally think the delays have been anything to do with the World Cup, although you can see why they would want it done and dusted by then.Sage said:Said for the past 2-3 weeks at least, I was told they believe it would be announced before the World Cup begins. Of course they would’ve hoped sooner, but ultimately, I have repeatedly said Thursday 14th June.
We shall see. Fingers crossed.
And thank you, @JamesSeed it is always appreciated and what can’t be stressed enough is the key words Henry highlighted. People, please don’t jump on his back. This is solid information.
The end is nigh.

This is a direct message from one of the consortium. Yes we're all fed up with false dawns, but it's only a message saying the EFL haven't blocked the bid, and that they HOPE to be able to make an announcement later in the week.
No one's guessing dates here. Nothing's definitive. It's merely a message, which expresses some positivity.
You don't have to read the thread if you don't want to. Certainly wouldn't blame you for staying away.
Please don't shoot the messenger. None of this is my opinion, or my prediction.5 -

@JamesSeed I wasn’t insinuating that the delay was anything to do with the World Cup. I was merely saying that I was told around 2-3 weeks ago that it was believed to be announced prior to it beginning, hence why I’ve said Thursday 14th June since around 24th May.JamesSeed said:

I genuinely think no one knows anything for sure, including the Aussies, hence Henry's WIOTOS.
Would be nice to move on to talk about transfer targets or signings, rather than this takeover saga that is getting so boring now.2 -

It has become tedious, a long time ago, but it shows how complicated and how much of a mess things are/were. The sooner it’s announced the better and we can begin the real hard work and assembling a squad good enough for promotion.4 -

I understand that, and with the situation we are in at the moment, that is a very real possibility due to the colossal job between now and the beginning of the season. Especially even bigger with someone as inexperienced at these things as Bowyer if he were to be in charge.Arsenetatters said:

However, on the flip side, as much as people will understand that building back again is going to be a process, there will be many, many others who demand instant success post Roland. That will be because of what we have gone through, they could begin to see whoever comes in as a disaster if things don’t improve quickly enough for their liking.
Which can only emphasise even more how important it will be for the Aussie’s to come in and make the connection with the supporters one of their biggest priorities moving forward.5 -

If the owners are serious about getting to the prem in 5 years then they need to get over the first hurdle quickly by doing what Kevin Cash did the season we went up...i.e. buying 5 or 6 £400k quality players that effectively bought us out of the division in our first full season under Jimenez & Slater.17 -
