Yeah but how can the selling side have doubts about price being agreed if it has got to this stage, surely it’s impossible to get to this stage without it.

It’s been playing out for over 3 weeks now.

Let’s be honest it’s always had the feel that something isn’t quite right.

Was Wednesday specifically mentioned? Yeah by Caulkin Fair enough. Missed that. I remember him saying it "will" be done but didn't see Wednesday mentioned specifically. Yeah he said it last night when referring to his original comment.

Was Wednesday specifically mentioned? Yeah by Caulkin Yes but money has to be in MA's bank before Saudi's will allow it to be announced. We've know this for ages. Premier league won't comment on it. No but Caulkin has been told every step of the way regarding what stage it is at, and he said if he knew the checks had been passed he would have told us.

Do we know they are still ongoing? Think it’s a safe bet considering no one has been informed otherwise.

Was Wednesday specifically mentioned? Yeah by Caulkin

Bearing in mind caulkin said Staveley was told last weekend the checks could be done by Wednesday, are we to assume that since they are still ongoing that some sort of issue has come up.

I still think if/once prem checks are completed we would hear something before the transfer of funds, can’t see something like that not being leaked

If it’s not done in a week it probably isn’t going to happen.

Yeah, longer it goes the more worried I get, basically we have a week left for this to get done, after that there is clearly an issue with it

They haven’t passed the test, the money transfer hasn’t even begun

If as caulkin said that they where told the checks may have been completed yesterday, then surely unless new information has come to light, it should be done no later than tomorrow

It can’t take that long it has to be done next week it’s a 4 week maximum from when the documents where submitted. See that 4 weeks, is it normal circumstances 4 week max or covid 19 4 week max? Or both? Just wondering if we're all operating to an erroneous timeline. I don’t think it has been effected by covid 19 (the timeframe I mean), basically the 4 week deadline has been stated since the beginning. Hopefully it will be irrelevant and confirmed before then anyways.

Most people will be done with the club if this doesn’t go through

They don’t seem convinced

I did think that, but I wonder if the lockdown affects that? The only people who have been told will potentially be Ashley as seller and Staveley. Leaks tend to happen when people interact, and the more people that know something, the more chance of a leak. For example, the chances of Ashley being pissed up in the West End and telling someone over a pint must be reduced. Also, it has kind of leaked, depending on how you look at the comments from people like Caulkin (who, based upon everything I know, doesn't seem to be the sort of journalist who would pretend to be certain on something to grab attention). I thought from the caulkin comment the other day that it was done, but I just think we would have heard more by now if that was the case. Just need an announcement because this is so frustrating and boring waiting for it.

I can’t see there being no leaks of the prem checks being done though which is why I still don’t think they have passed them.

Quite funny how their wealth is being overlooked but these alone would be the 2nd richest owners behind city.

Burnsie I guess Who is that ?

And if he isn’t he says we will know by 6pm ?

People are suggesting in the comments on Twitter that he is a known Mackem wum.
