Has it stalled or has it hit the buffers, or is it the end of the road…..?

If it had hit the buffers I think the potential buyers would have released a statement confirming this .

Not worth it with this FOSL

If it hadn't hit the buffers it would of been done n dusted by now.
Ya don't have to be Einstein to come to that conclusion.

Or do you still believe in fairly tales and that Cinderella really did have 2 ugly sisters.

Get yourself to Ko Samet just off ban phe superb desert island.

According to the bloke on Twitter who is definitely in the know

"Not dead but stalled.

This is his game. It’s a very painful waiting game".

I would have thought a statement by either or more likely all parties would be forthcoming in the event of the process ending.

Telling us the discussions are still ongoing or not, would suffice.

Would have thought you’re right there. Also, there are surely financial consequences for either party pulling out, if a normal process is being followed?
It’s just really odd that it’s dragged on so long without comment, which makes no sense given the club needs to sell season tickets.

Maybe just testing the waters for maximum bids.
Of course everything is always up for sale for the "right" price.
Maybe thats this all about and a sale will go through sometime in the short/medium or long term future

What are the contingency plans if something happens to Raj? Does his son (if he has one) take over? Or does the solicitor dealing with matters sell the club to the highest bidder? And what about the (any) debt?

Shelley has posted on Facebook today that the takeover is progressing and she has financial plans for the future sustainability of the club.

Thanks for the update. Keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe it'll take another crap start to a season to finally persuade Raj to cut his losses.

that will mean three seasons on the bounce a season has been written off. know we have no god given right to get promoted or being in the play offs but how many seasons can the club sustain by doing this before average gates fall to the 1,500 ish level again. as i have said before we might need to really hit rock bottom before things change in our favour.
