    I'd presume the paperwork is good to go, so it's just a case of filing it and then it can be checked and confirmed? 5-6 days I presume is the time given by the EFL to submit it.

    Can someone explain how it can all be approved by the EFL and FA, but not be done yet. 

    Looking for a pen to sign the contracts with. Very tricky business, pens.
    If each investor requires their own pen we might end up with a worldwide stationary shortage!

    Surely using the house buying analogy we are in the period between exchange and completion

    I'm just wondering beyond Companies House formalities what on earth is left to file? Would have thought everything else would have been done.

    The way they talk to you like you've never experienced a takeover before. No, this is only the 4th time in nine years

    A shortage of things standing still? 

    That would be chaos!

    They need to get a professional filing clerk, who knows how to operate a hole punch;  what length treasury tags to allocate and how to fill in the 6" x 4" cross-reference cards.

    It’s done, clearly just a formality, actually looking forward to the season now.  

    However, me this time last season: “I’m actually looking forward to the season now”.

    We already had 4 days since the agreement was given of course the cock up by FA and the Womens team that was solved yesterday could be the paperwork there talking about??

    Yes, that's pretty much what Cawley said 30 minutes ago - you're getting quicker.

    I imagine if it’s the EFL then it’s a capacity issue. We won’t be the only job for them and probably not a priority either. If you think that’s slow, try working in or with local government.

    Fans - be transparent 
    club - ok
    fans - not this transparent 
    You're comparing apples and oranges here mate.

    Sure it's good them being transparent, but it dont mean to say all the news shared is gonna be good news and met with positive responses

    The EFL and FA have approved the takeovers but who would have signed the contracts and had them witnessed before this happened?

    This can nowadays be done electronically but it needs time.

    Patience is a virtue.

    Methven’s mate is the ideal burger boy replacement:

    ‘Davison is, of course, a lifelong Sunderland supporter and famously once portrayed club mascot Samson the Cat on match days, rising up through the club to become a marketing and sponsorship executive before his departure in 2005 to take up a role at Wembley Stadium.’

    Didn’t know Gerry Adams was a Charlton fan. Is he the celeb we were trying to guess? 
    Thats Rodwell who will be replacing Storrie and running the club on a day to day basis 
    & seeing that Methven was nothing to do with the takeover what is he doing there & will he be playing any part in the running of the club when the people who are taking it over, actually take it over ?
    Simple answer no.. He only getting a thank you small percentage of shares around 5%, said many times he not been leading this takeover and will not have any say in the day to day running of the club that will be down to Rodwell in the UK and JF and Brener in the USA .


    He can’t help himself. Methven will be more involved than you’re making out. 
    Of course he will. Ronnie Moore has openly admitted ( as Bexley Boy on ITTV) that he only posts on CL to wind people up & yet people who respond on here are criticised for being bullies.

    Two wrongs don’t make a right mate. If he winds you up, just ignore him, same for any other posters that wind you up.

    Lets keep this thread on the takeover now though please, thanks

    He won’t change, Bob. If he’s wrong then respectfully challenge his quote
