Liquidator Podcast was fairly gloomy about the takeover.

Presumably pissed off they weren't the ones to leak the news?

To me, it all comes down to when Patel was granted exclusivity. If it was as recent as last week or even the first week of January (ie shortly before John Percy reported), then I’d be surprised if anything was announced before the end of January, given the time needed for buy-side due diligence. If, however, Patel was granted exclusivity before Christmas and all sides managed to keep it under wraps until the reports last Friday, it is certainly very possible that a deal could be concluded (subject to league approvals) this month.
Either way, I’m hoping for the club to tweet an American flag before the top of the hour and we can all relax.

I like Lepko and Adrian (I know many don’t) but you wouldn’t want them working for the Samaritans.
Great post, Mullers. The exclusivity thing became a massive misnomer.

So do I in fairness, I'm just a wanker.

That's unlike Lepko, he's usually always looking on the bright side!!!

They were going on about being cautious and the fact we could lose a player or two in this window. But it appeared gloomy. They didn't seem to think anything will be announced. The loans appeared to be the point why they think we'll sell.
From what I've read elsewhere (not in the press), this does not tie up.
Perhaps they are being deliberately coy?

Arf!
RE: Takeover - CaptainFantastico - 01-15-2024
I actually get why they’ve constantly misread this situation. They are tied to the wrong preconceptions and every assumption made from there is logical but inherently flawed
RE: Takeover - Remi_Moses - 01-15-2024
I see the Chinese being a major stumbling block.
IMO they will try every trick in the book to hike the price, hide stuff and every week get paid.
Until we reach the stage where the buyer is talking about pulling out, we certainly won't be close to any deal being completed. MSD could then force a sale but we have to wait and see.
We could all be plesently surprised and it could all go through smoothly.
All we can say is they are talking.
