When can we expect this takeover to be done? Has Fenty got us till the seasons end or can it happen before then. I know it’s impossible to say just hoping someone might know something.

About yay long.

Takes a few weeks to turn ‘heads of terms’ into a signed contract and go through the regulatory process.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they get cold feet and back out. The product has been greatly devalued over the last two weeks

Doubt it Realist. They’ve been at it for nearly two years, they’re not going to give up that easily.

We've been a league team for 2 years, but the omens don't look good. Would a conference team look just as attractive to them?

I would say that the football club is only one part of their long term plan, and I would think it wouldn’t bother them if we were a league team or otherwise.

A league team in a higher league than 2 would have gates of around 7,000; whereas in the conference about 3,000 if your lucky. 4,000 people @ say £20 a time x 23 games = a lot of cash.

Suspect the vision is longer term.

The consortium has signed the heads of terms agreement. The agreement includes a significant financial penalty to either side if they back out of completion. Similar to buying a house. You pay the deposit and if you back out you lose it.
