Just where is our club going?

Still no news about the paperwork that has ( :?: ) been submitted to the EFL.

I'm now of the opinion that Jason is playing mind games with our BoDs who are powerless to do anything to resolve this saga.

Did Jason ever have intentions of selling us and seems happy to let the club continue to suffer through his lack of interest.... :?: :?: :?:

Or have I got it all wrong......again :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

The EFL are usually slow with checking stuff just cause of due diligence to make sure the so-called party is fit and proper, they dont mess about

I think we need to send the EFL some ………’s and some — — — — — —‘s so they can finish dotting the i’s and crossing the T’s and then they can let everyone know one way or the other if the proposed take over (if there is one!) passes all the relevant EFL tests.

Didn't the current Wigan owner put an offer in, submit paperwork and receive approval all in the same week?

Wigan process was a can of worms too
Wigan administration a 'major scandal' - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53261368

I think the statement regarding their new owner has something to do with it :

"clear statements of personal wealth and a clear track record in business"

Enjoy yourself.... It is later than you think

As Marky has put it anyone who has been outside of the UK and does not trade in the British Isles needs to go through extra loops who has wealth and a track record, Wigan's Current owner owns the club and Wigan warriors rugby club too so there's a paper/money trail

Would this protracted EFL Checks stage of the sale be an indication it might be an overseas purchaser and extra checks are needed?

Carlisle have foreign owners who invested over £8 million since they bought the club quite recently.

Wonder if it is possible to find out via our Trust the time it took for the EFL to approve their take over... :?: :?: :?: :?:
