Phil Hodgkinson has explained why it's taken so long to complete the takeover of Huddersfield Town.

 

The lifelong fan agreed to take a 75% share of the club - with a later option to buy it outright from Dean Hoyle - back at the beginning of May.

 

So why has it taken until now to see the process through?

 

Hodgkinson explained: "In essence, when we agreed the deal, we had been relegated - so the Premier League decided they didn't want to do the whole 'fit and proper' test and all the bits and pieces.

 

"In reality, we couldn't start the process until we became an EFL club again.

 

"We provided the EFL with all they needed, but they had other things going on which meant they couldn't get onto doing the whole process until the day we became an EFL club again.

 

"After that, it was just waiting for them to confirm.

 

"They started to do the fit and proper test on the 12th (of June) and I got a confirmation email on the 12th that it was all fine."

 

So what's happened since then?

 

"What's taken time is that it is a complex club - this isn't just me buying a football club from Dean," he explained.

 

"You have the stadium that we own part of, you've got PPG Canalside which is a separate agreement, you've got the football club and there are four or five legal agreements that run to 420 pages.

 

"And you've got EFL lawyers, FA lawyers, Dean's lawyers, my lawyers all earning their living (so it's taken time to confirm)."

I stopped reading after I seen the word 'landed'

 

:lol:

 

"Performed an unplanned, high-velocity lithobraking manoeuvre" would be better.

I think the BZG statement will come today as friday is a weekend in Dubai.

 

Hoping for a positive statement!

 

I don't think that.

Christ, I hope not. The twitter conspiracy theorists will have their tinfoil hats on, spouting off about how convenient it is that a takeover update statement was released on the same day as the season ticket renewal deadline.

Almost 2pm in Dubai so not expecting to see a statement issued today

 

Currently three hours ahead, during summertime, so it’s nearly 1pm. Plenty of time yet....not that I’m expecting anything.

Had another let down this morning, walking in to reception at work and sky news is on and the yellow ticker at the bottom of the screen was scrolling, all I saw on first look was 'football club.....announced.....new'..... my heart did a jump then crushingly saw it was about lampard.  :fool:
