This is interesting as @Gillythedilf posted last night they'd been told that there would be "no announcement on Friday" - which I though was really odd as it suggested something was happening on Friday, but no announcements made.

@Smug in Boots ; @Magnus ; @Prehab26 - were you expecting something to happen this Friday?
I was told to expect some sort of announcement on Friday or sat am.Thats now not going to be the case I’m told as of last night.

that news hasn’t filtered down to Barnes as of yet it would seem.
 
I don't know anyone who's said anything of the sort.

Some people keep latching onto things and repeating them as facts.

As far as I'm concerned 'serious talks are ongoing' and the EFL are, or soon will be, involved.

At this stage not even the buyer or seller could give dates, end of story ...

... and Storey <laugh>
This 100% seems like some people either need to get out a bit more or stop winding, talks are ongoing allegedly, and I’ve no reason not to believe that cos lots of different people seem to have confirmed that, and I’ve no reason to doubt them, they’ve been around a bit and never posted **** before, so I choose to believe it. Whether we like it or not we, as fans, aren’t a related party to any talks, this is his club that he can do with as he pleases, including sell it at his price and his pace, and as long as he holds all the cards we’ll hear when we hear, we’ve just got to be patient.

Shame. It would be nice to get something on the eve of the new season
Would be a real boost for everyone.
But I'm taking silence as a good thing
To be honest I've had enough of SD's gobshite announcements over the last couple of years.
Happy for him to slink away without a peep and the new setup come in quietly and professionally and start a proper rebuild.
For me the takeover is just the start. We've seen from SD that talk is cheap.
What matters is what they actually do

Donald or the buyer couldn't put a date on it.


The EFL is like the solicitor when you're buying a house ...

... if you're buying a house warming cake don't ask for fresh cream.

I might be wrong but I don't recall Barnes as said anything about an announcement this Friday...He did say he might have some further news during the week.regarding the takeover.

We've just gone through this (first time buyers) - they don't half take their time. Possibly the worst communication from a business I have ever had as well - they'll be getting both barrels on the customer service questionnaire!

Wonder if this has anything to do with yesterday's Coronavirus announcement of only 6 people meeting up and concern about how this might impact the football attendance, club finances and hence a possible adjustment to the sale price or terms?

Think it's been intimated that if its off to the EFL then price has probably been agreed

SD will not sell if it looks like we will go up as he will lose potential millions - so if team do well he stays, for now. I'd rather he stayed and we go up that we play crap and he goes right now
