Takeover

[MrFizz]

As there's been nothing today, tomorrow seems like the most obvious day for a completion announcement if indeed it is going to be finalised this week. I wouldn't have thought they'll want to announce it too close to the Hull game, so as not to be a distraction to what's a very important match. I can't imagine it being left until Sunday either.

Therefore, assuming everything is still properly on track, fingers crossed for tomorrow!

With that in mind I'd be inclined to leave the official announcement until Monday. There's seven days in a calendar week and all I'm bothered about is that it goes through without further complication. They can leave it until next Thursday for all I care, it's not like we're at home to Coventry on Friday or anything   .

As it was said with certainty last week that the takeover would be completed this week, I think lots of people will get rather twitchy if nothing is announced this week!

It's got so bad that WBA13 has learned what his F5 button is for.

Leave me out of this I’m not well, 

Would be the bored meltdown to end all bored meltdowns if he ay cummin.

Athletic are now suggesting that Patel is paying just £2.5m up front with an extra £2.5m in August and £5.5m in August 2025.
Lai only gets the full £28m should we go up this season - which means Patel would pay the extra £18m

If we don't go up this year but go up in the following years, payment amount decreases as the years go on (£10m if we go up next season, £5m if it's the season after etc etc)

Sounds like the debts pretty much matched the value left in the club

As long as the debts are repaid, otherwise we have a guy buying the club for £2.5M up front. What could possibly go wrong?

[CaptainFantastico]

I think you can safely assume he has settled with MSD

He's got no money and a charlatan... We've already had one of them, so we are pretty wise to what to expect.

[Ted Maul]

He's bought us on Klarna.

Agreed. 

And of the £10m being paid over 18 months, Lai has to repay Warmfront

[CaptainFantastico]

Also add into that probably a 15m cash flow injection that was needed just to get to next season
