It is 4 weeks now since the last club statement which basically said everything was agreed buyers due diligence completed and the only outstanding matter was the EFL approval of buyers financial plan which it was hoped would be received ‘shortly’..The new owners added a similar statement.’Shortly” to me has passed.Meanwhile we sink ever nearer the drop.We may not quite be in the last chance saloon but the doors are swinging  open. In the current circumstances the delay matters. Fans are in despair. New manager appointment hasn’t produced a new manager bounce. I express no opinion on whether we have reached the point where the last throw of the device is another change of manager or we have to see this through but it would be nice to know if someone is in charge and making decisions in such a bleak time in the clubs history. To go out the league with a whimper would be unbearable. We need an update and something from the club that provides hope.

The trust should be all over this.

I agree it is time for a statement to give clarity and lay out the schedule for the take over. We need to have an understanding of what is happening.

Fenty and his Cohorts have gone to ground...  can't think why... rudderless

You would need some substance/back bone as a board to make a statement.. so don't hold your breath..

The takeover panel has told all parties that they must make no public comment whilst the takeover is proceeding.

Be patient, it will not be much longer

Thinking about this you have to ask the question what have the EFL got to do with all this. Day said it's a private matter between the consortium and Fenty and nothing to do with the club.

I have to admit he is right.

So what's it to do with the EFL or anybody else. The consortium are not buying a controlling share in the club, as it is owned by the majority of shareholders who have not been bought out by the consortium. The consortium are a minority shareholder.

So what is the problem?

Thank you gutless for your X in less than minute of this post. Obviously you are highly intelligent of company matters so could you provide us with reason why I am wrong. On the other hand you could be a mindless troll who has nothing better to do try to wind people up. Certainly you have no compassion for Town or you would have the guts to speak up.

However been benevolent to you let me help up XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
