Probably the latterOriginally Posted by countygump
. Don't think the FA would be allowed to assume we would cease to exist ahead of it happening. Suggests they believe a deal is imminent. Only spanner in the works is who is the source of info from Ilkeston? Not our beloved owner by any chance?
For the Notts Barrister to be so clear in court the deal has to be close. Contempt of court is a very serious offence, so presenting evidence in court has to have a basis in fact - not just wishful thinking from NCFC. We had the assurance about the fit and proper person test. This is what the Post reported of the proceedings:
"Miss Stonefrost told the court that, although the petition has already been adjourned twice before, the club needed more time.
She said two groups had been interested in buying the club. Unfortunately, one prospective purchaser had had a heart attack and withdrew, and in the other consortium an investor had dropped out.
But she told the court that now a Danish consortium, with funds, had entered the picture so a further adjournment was being requested for the league to approve the directors and the share transfer.
The next session of the league is scheduled for July 17, so approval of the share transfer could be given then, she said.
She added: “This morning a letter from the Football Association has been received approving the directors as fit and proper, so that is one step forward.""
A Danish consortium with funds, who ave already passed the FA fit and proper person test, and the possibility of the transfer of shares being approved on 17th July. That all looks very positive.
