I think the only thing you can assume with any certainty about this takeover is that every deadline or estimated completion date that gets mentioned will be missed.
Barnes saying 'In exclusivity with a buyer, done by September', the Guardian - 'KLD is the bidder, deal complete within a few weeks', ''Done by Xmas". The club then saying "deal agreed, ELF sign off mid-Jan' and even 'by the Plymouth game' from the Times.
It's so frustrating as it feels like we've only had one transfer window since being in L1 that hasn't been hamstrung by takeover talk or some other such nonsense, and in that one we ended up spunking the family silver on Will Grigg.
Summer 2018 - 6 players at the club, Rodwell/Djilibodji/N'dong carry on.
Jan 2019 - Maja fiasco, Donald having an aneurysm on the phone to Wigan in front of the cameras in some Oxford portakabin.
Summer 2019 - Mark Campbell/FPP takeover - Ross being given two lists of players etc, Shankland being approached on behalf of Park/Campbell for example.
Jan 2020 - 'Significant investment' if you hadn't told me to piss off - SD
Summer 2020 - Covid/Salary Cap/Takeover
Jan 2021 - Takeover/Salary Cap/BS Covid rules like 9 on the bench massively limiting the market.
