SUPERTOON

The Southampton owner managed to fail and then pass the test in the time it’s taken for us to get to this stage ?

I don’t see why there would be since the league has had it for a couple of weeks. That’s the key thing, either the journalists who wrote it got further info saying it could block the takeover yesterday, or he say on it for 2 weeks to create a story out of nothing. Thats my impression as well. No journalist seems to be even picking up on the fact they league have had it for 2 weeks either.

But they have had the report for 2 weeks and as recent as Friday they said no red flags.

Realistically how much longer can this go on for ? There surely has to be a cut off point.

None of the journalists seem to be making any comment on the fact they have had these documents since may 11th, this seems pretty important surely.

Both

That hasn’t copied properly but that is his response to Burts tweet.

The guy who wrote the article...

Hard to understand how something they have had for 2 weeks is now only going to delay it and possible cause it to be rejected.

That's two responses from him and Richardson who both said this and have backtracked a bit. Caulkin to complete the Hat-trick?

He literally said checks where complete on Friday.

That was recorded before this broke True, but surely if they’ve had these documents for 2 weeks AS and co will be well aware and therefore GC will be too. You would certainly hope so Yeah they will be I just mean he won’t have commented on these new articles from tonight

Nope pretty much done with football full stop.

Well if that's the case then the sources indicating it's either been signed off or no 'red flags' are talking absolute s*** then. There is some respected reporters in that company also mind, who do you believe is the question? I only trust George Caulkin 100% in this and if he says 'no red flags', well then I believe him. He's been saying all along that it's still with the PL. We don’t know if this is classed as new information since Caulkin seemed to indicate it was close last week. I may have read it wrong (probably have) but did Hopes article not say they've had this information since May 11th I think so, I’m unsure if what the premier league has and the one to be submitted in June is the same thing It will be I would think. You can't keep accepting stuff to digest without a 'cut off' date otherwise it could be going on for months if not even years otherwise. That is promising then, as I’ve said Caulkin as of Friday said no red flags.

Maybe a stupid question, but is the document the premier league received on the 11th may the same one due to be published in mid June ? If so this would surely be an irrelevant story if we are believing Caulkin and Jason Burt.

Same, I’m almost out and if we haven’t heard by Monday will be completely out. Would you be back in if it was Tuesday? Tuesday is new evidence day so no.

Same, I’m almost out and if we haven’t heard by Monday will be completely out.

It’s already closed down isn’t it ?

If it's not sorted by this week (Monday at latest) then even I will say there is an issue mind and I have been mega positive. That final WTO report is not due until mid-June so maybe that's what the Premier League are waiting for if that's the case. That would go against Jason Burt and to a degree Caulkin as well from last week. And John Richardson (respected reporter), Neil Custis and a few others and that's what I'm clinging my hope to. However if it has been 'signed off' then it does not take two weeks after that to finalise that's for sure. Nope, I agree, I think a week maximum otherwise there are issues.
