I reckon it'll happen when it's ready and be what it'll be and we won't be able to do anything about either.

This feels like the closest we have gotten to a takeover. Couhig sounds like a pretty determined person so I reckon it will be done by this coming Friday.

The only person guaranteed to get anything done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe
I had to go back to the 70’s for that one

I'm just used to it not happening. Probably reports that it's basically done on Wednesday, then nothing and before we know it the season is starting.

I don't think these constant updates on the most obscure and trivial detail really help anything but fueling frustration.

The only thing that matters is has a deal gone through officially. Or has a potential buyer pulled out. Until then, nothing else is really worth a damn.

Untangling the complex web of Dai's business empire may be part of the problem. After all Dai's "China" problems haven't gone away. Been quiet in terms of activity for a while now.

Selles seemed upbeat in his post game interview with Tim Dellor that takeover is close to completion.

The fact that he hasn't walked at any point has always been the clearest sign to me that things have been moving positively if a little slower than hoped.

Well done Selles for saying more in a short post match interview than the rest of the club combined in the past 3 months.

Isn't he the only one left that's not suspended (or pending suspension) from football though?

Got my fingers crossed for you guys over the next week or two to get this over the line. It's gut wrenching how one parasite can undo all the hard work Sir John did here; but you will bounce back - brick by brick!

Interesting that a former Director of Footbal Luke Dowling was on Talk Sport this morning and said he was close to taking up a new role in a club to be purchased within the next few weeks. He was not questioned which club this would be. May be nothing, ut watch this space.

Interestingly he is an ex Reading academy player and did some consultancy work for the club just before Bowen was reappointed.

Everton aren't close to a buy-out in the next few weeks. They're latest interested party has just pulled out, so it's back to the drawing board for them.

Wasn't Dowling the football director at WBA until he had a disagreement with the owner a couple of years ago? Can't imagine he'd be cheap.
