It seems from what I am hearing coming out from a source is that they failed due to the fact they did not own or set up a UK business until two weeks ago which is not deemed proper in the FA eyes. You apparently need a UK business and filed accounts before you can pass the test and they didn't. Only what i am told here I am not an expert.
If that's true then surely that's easily fixable. I'd find that odd though, I'm sure other foreign owners have bought clubs without having had English companies.
I don't think British/Chinese relations are great at the moment over the Hinckley point bollox. Makes you wonder if the Chinese threat to stop investing in the UK might have legs.
If the sale deal is off, it certainly will put Phelan in an advantageous bargaining position in negotiating terms of his contract methinks.
It seems even people like Cellini had a business here previously which was nothing more than a shell company as many people do, the company I work for have shell companies in most European countries. Like I said I am no expert just from a source internally, they also said the deal had been done and would be announced mid Sept which it would have been so maybe trusted source
I'd be curious if Xia did, he was in a similar boat to our owners. Thanks for the info though if accurate.
No it wouldnt. Somebody saying something unsubstantiated on social media is not reporting. FACT a ****ing MUNDO. And I dont think I've ever started an argument with Syd.
And to rub salt into the wound... http://www.skysports.com/football/n...-remain-far-apart-in-talks-over-managers-job?
I don't know if you've had arguments with 'Syd' (whoever he is) but I'd be willing to put a lot of money on it because you're 'The Queen of Arguments'.
Well this is **** news for you lot. Sorry to hear it but, in my opinion, I think you'll appreciate it in the long run. I don't think that having non-football people in charge of football clubs is good at all.
I know what you mean. Not606 turns into Monty Pyton's argument clinic quite regularly (admittedly a small portion of the blame is mine )
It cant be salary, there's no way someone who has only ever been an assistant or an interim would demand more than Bruce, so it can only be responsibilities and available funds.
the fappt process is not going to take anywhere near the amount of time starting again with new possible buyers would take.
