The ironic thing is there is now a phoenix Bury in the lower leagues and the national League is contemplating allowing Dale and Bury FC back in strange insolvency there.I think that a lot of dodgy dealings go on somewhere especially when it concerns large amounts of money. Administration team at Wigan now saying Paul Cook is an asset and trying to block his resignation.

Don’t get me going about Bury.
My Firm represented a potential buyer who put a bid in.
Due diligence was horrific.
Offer withdrawn.

Charlton have 47 days left to provide proof of funds to satisfy EFL or face expulsion from the league, they have had months to do this not looking good.

Just been reading about vandalism at the Accrington Stanley Hub in the LT, very anti-Stanley comments. Does anyone know more?

Well people need to make their mind up.
Demands for scrupulous fit and proper persons tests demanded and that's what's done for this deal.
How can you have a club owner involved in the illegal streaming of football across the globe ?

Not how I read between the lines the Saudis were fed up of the delay and the Covid scenario changed their mind they pulled out no one knows whether they would have passed the EFL test as they hadn't reached a decision.

Having lived there, the concept of a Saudi being fed up of a delay is the best joke I’ve read today.

Come on Andy !
It's in the public domain that they were streaming illegally.
Delays caused by their unscrupulous tv antics - directly removing revenue from the sponsors of football in the UK !
I'm sure Sky and BT would have been delighted to have them on board.

Well if it's that obvious which it was from day one my point again is why hasn't the EFL reacted straight away and blocked them then waste of space that's why.

Agree with you andyd but the EFL must make money out of all the talks and meetings, when you look back at the Bury fiasco it was obvious from the start that they weren't going to be allowed to carry on, but there had to be exploratory talks, consultations with people who had to fill out forms and produce evidence of funds etc, etc, etc. which even if they were obvious non runners the forms were handed over the the legal department and at the end of the day a press conference is held to say that it isn't going to happen.

Mike Ashley still 100% behind the Saudi deal and hasn't ruled out them coming back.
