I know nothing about business but looking online it says the process takes 45-180 days. Do we know when the process began.
Funnily enough I was just about to say that, based on length of exclusivity and the fact it was likely done a few days at least before the club announced it
It will be at the bottom end if that scale, it's not ICI, they just have to check there's no skeletons in the closet, the numbers themselves should be fairly straight forward.
There's not going to be any surprises there, they haven't got this far down the line without knowing the situation with the SMC.
Will the fit and proper person test with the EFL be already done or is that happening during the due diligence period?
