Takeover

Whilst the club/MSD will surely be pushing for Patel, isn't it up to Lai who he sells his 88% to?  I get the EFL approval stuff but I don't hold out much hope for that process saving us if the worst comes to the worst.  Say Patel comes along as says I'll give you £30M plus the loans being paid off but these chancers come along and say we'll give you £25M and we'll write off the £7M you owe on the Warmfront loan.  Or is that perhaps mitigated by MSD having to agree to the sale?

I think or hope that the Hearn thing is pretty much a separate sideshow.

There seemed to be some genuine concern a while back that Patel may have either pulled out or be about to do so but that’s seems to have been unequivocally quashed and he would seem very much the likely new owner. It’s no wonder it’s taken a fair while to sort all things considered.

As China says, there seems to be confidence we aren’t far away at all, but in reality as long as it’s done by April/May (I’m sure it will be a lot sooner) I think the function of the club in terms of the pitch will be largely unaffected
