Starting to believe it could happen now, Dell flying over to chat to lads fans and pick up merch,..... just in time for tomorrows game....... it could just be completely coincidental but it's seeming more real now.

Not sure why you think they must have ratified everything, I imagine that stage will take quite a long time. From what I can tell it looks like it took about a month from us hearing that Donald was buying the club to it actually happening. When he came in he said he left Sartori out initially because it would have taken a lot longer if he'd been involved straight away and they needed to get started. Iirc he said the reason for that is that the checks are a lot easier if your business is in the UK, and he mentioned that the fact he's in insurance further sped things up because it's heavily regulated and thus quite easy to show them everything they wanted.

These lads are obviously abroad, will have a significant number of different business ventures which the EFL might want to look into, and there's 4 of them. If they are wanting to leave no stone unturned I'm guessing it could take a long time to fully vet that number of people with that many business interests, some no doubt in less regulated markets when the majority of these businesses are abroad. Might be wrong but I don't imagine the EFL are massively staffed tbh, and this takeover is likely to be significantly bigger than any other they've handled. If it took a few weeks for Donald and Methven I could easily see it being well over a month for these lads. I'm taking it that no news is good news, it must still be progressing and hopefully all signed off soon, no reason to panic from what I can tell

Message from the Beaulieu one. He's had a business call with his art dealer contact. He (the art dealer) is genuinely surprised there are any suggestions the deal is in any kind of trouble. As far as he knows everything is progressing.

Can tell he can’t be talking to Mackems too often then.
