  • Come on we really need this takeover asap.
  • Got my reply from the EFL

    You should just reply that our resident nutter loves to rant...sorry update us, but his version is usually unreadable nonsense.
  • EFL working on a Saturday

    I thought I saw they had been working on it for 4 months.
    Probably answered by now but yes I saw that they have been working on it for 4 months
  • Quite cute that the EFL work in EFL House.

  • That haven't finished the racist incident with the leeds GK yet? What 3 months ago??
  • Was hoping that somebody might have gleaned a bit of info today but seems not. 
  • My dear departed parents used to play The Sheikh of Araby as a duet on the old Joanna.  Mum on the high notes, Dad thumping out the bass, must be 25 years since that happened last.  Here's hoping my little bit of self indulgence gets lost amid the other 70 thousand comments.

    I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.

    Don’t think there’s info to be had. The EFL are asking questions and hopefully they are being sufficiently answered. 

    Fully expect it to go through, just probably early January now.

    SHG turn up to a game, you may hear something

    it’s either going all fine and Southall is doing a great thing seeing the Upbeats, or it’s cynical PR he’s rocking up there. Delete as required to suit your mood 
    Even if it's cynical PR, at least it's effective cynical PR, which makes a nice change. Don't think we've had that since the {...} statement caused Mel Baroni to do a runner.
  • My Fulham mate who used to work at the EFL in the Finance Department phoned me today to say he'd been contacted by them to see if he was free to assist over Christmas and the New Year with some financial due diligence for them.

    As they pay about 60% of what Ann Summers is currently paying him he politely refused.

    The bloke has no sense of the dramatic.
  • I’m available to do some finance DD over the Christmas period of it relates to Charlton. Family will be gutted but sometimes that happens. 

    Only partially joking

  • Chunakah starts tomorrow (Chag Urim Sameach BTW) and lasts for eight nights.

    Deal will be done by then.

    Either way it'll be a great buzz for him.

  • Dildos over deadlines !
    Vibrator over calculator......Your mate needs to get his priorities sorted out.
     
  • In the event of the deal doesn't get done till March will this issue of VOTV be republished. Glad I have worked in publishing for 30 years. Always wait till the ink is dry.

    You moaned they hadn't responded within ten days but they had.

    You moaned they hadn't responded  to Duchatelet's rant only hours after  the event but they responded the same afternoon.

    You moaned the statement is waffle as it gives no indication why there is a delay but ESI are saying there is no delay.

    What more can the EFL say about a confidential process? ESI are crooks? Duchatelet lied? The numbers don't add up?

    They can't comment in any detail and nor should they.

    I don't have 100% faith in the EFL, I've met with them, but I have zero faith in the person trying to pin all the blame on them; Roland Duchatelet.
    They responded quickly to Duchatalet's statement, not the application for new ownership by ESI.  Therefore waffle.  Although their 10 day rule is ambiguous, any delay seems not to have been explained according to the RD report.

    Did I say they had not responded to the RD rant? No.

    ESI have given no statement on the procedure.

    EFL can say "we have asked for further clarification" They have not done so publicly.

Roland Out Forever!
