No panic OM but if it is FV, we know they have pulled out once already over something they didn't like, so it's clear they won't buy unless they're totally happy. Everybody seems confident it's only a minor delay, which I hope that it is but having been in business many years and negotiated many contracts, until the signature is on the document, take nothing for granted!!

In truth they pulled out because there was another 13m debt hidden under the floorboards.
I get the concerns and i share them but the process couldnt be more open. The only issue is with this 6 bids and NDA it is a bit like a silent auction and could they may have over egged the custard on the presumption that someone would outid them and really rely on other means i.e debt owed to shareholder.
Bloody hell, scaring myself now.

Jack Dearden on the podcast said there is absolutely nothing to worry about, deal will be finalised either during the weekend or early in the week. Not Anderson type talk. No bassini. Just a formality. Just consider how long buying a house takes and think about how more complex a football business is. So a few days delay is only understandable. Weve waited since Feb. Lets not panic now. Spot on my friend its just a legal matter not simple but not impossible to fix .

Still no news on the takeover completion then and it's now a week since the winner was notified. Maybe I'm being over pessimistic here but I really fear the worst. No news is rarely good news and unexpected delays usually result in failure. I just hope the other 4 bidders are still interested and maybe FV have pulled out and Rubin's are talking with one or other of them and that is the reason for the delay? Crikey, we may even end up with Bassini after all?

Crikey, we may even end up with Bassini after all? Not like you to be negative whites... oh, wait! Seriously though, it has been a while and I'm hoping owdonlad hasn't been holding his breath... can't be good fer ya, can it? (ya know me lads, always one to have a laff!) I'm sure it's no more than the sale was conditional on this that n t'other, so adjustments here there and when all said an' done everyone's happy. Could be holding out for the EFL debate on the unfulfilled game against Brentford. Is there a date set for that yet?

Im worried too, last week Jack dearden said it was just a glitch and would be done maybe at the weekend.
It seems clear that the niggle isnt just the contract needs double spacing and not single. Lawyers back in.
Obvious that FV do want the club but something is in that contract thats putting them off.
6 weeks before season starts. No squad, no pre season plans, still dont know points deduction(are FL purposely waiting so they know by the time we appeal season will have started making an overturn less likely?)
And we still have Parky.

Exactly OM, there are still so many issues unresolved, the EFL decision on any penalties being one. I find it an absolute disgrace that they still haven't decided what that should be. You would expect them to have understood this is entirely relevant to a new owner and this could be what's holding things up. Maybe the decision has been made and communicated first through the Administrator and it has caused some negotiation with FV? Whatever the reason, it's obviously more serious than just a glitch and it's time somebody explained the delay properly. We've had enough cloak and dagger and dishonesty and it's time we were told the truth.

Learned not to try that trick ages ago , the only thing I know is like most of you is that its a legal thing ,could be summit to with the Hotel ? cause one of the proposed new directors has a laon against this so maybe they are trying to buy both out of the same pot so to speak .

Certainly interesting Andyb., but if that is correct then Marc Iles is certainly wide of the mark with his reporting.
The good news is that Iles has reported that Michael James was the benefactor who donated the money so that Hotel and BWFC support staff were paid. What a breath of fresh air after Anderson stunk the place out with his greed.
James is one of the hotel's secured creditors and part of the Football Ventures consortium.
IMO, it's people such as James that we need to lead the club forward. Obviously a supporter, as well as a business man. Yes, I know, so was Eddie Davies.

Agreed regarding James, always nice to have another diversion to keep the forum ticking over though and get people talking!😉

This might seem a silly question but how do you get a pod cast and how do they work ?. Me personally I will be glad when it's all sorted out and we can start talking about football and going to Wycombe as I have never been there before. Just hope Parky has gone hahaha COYWM

Chip go to play store and search podcast. Just choose the best rated free one and install and the open it and it will all be in categories. So can just browse for sport or comedy(same thing for Bolton) You can follow a podcast, which means you get automatic downloads when they do a new one or can just view and download as and when with itemised list. Takes a few minutes if that.
I picked up the wanderers podcast late last year and ive enjoyed it. Its like a problem shared is a problem halved.
Worth listening to the David Lee special though.

Lets hope FV Dubai the club.
(Sorry)
Searched for the Kuyt/Dutch bid and cannot see any real truth in that at all but do wonder if there were 5 genuine bids how long until we set a deadline and go down the pecking order and how long before courts are back involved.
