He owns a football club in South Africa - Stellenbosch FC Club. Likes to promote South African sports, which is why he bought a stake in Saracens which influenced the recruitment of several South African players. This resulted in a period where Saracens was nicknamed "Saffacens" due to the strong South African presence, including players like Francois Pienaar.

Any promising South African footballers out there?

So in original post, they want to get deal done before August... they can get it provisional done but dont the proper person checks by fa (or whoever does it) take ages? Surely wont be all done dusted within 2 weeks?

In this video (from 42 minutes into it) Gary Neville talks about when he and Salford restructured their ownership. He said it's unbelievably rigorous and it took them 6-8 weeks to get everything approved.

So unlikely that anything will be all cleared before September.

Fair point, that's possible. Would expect an announcement though with a line of "subject to EFL approval" in there.

I think if they’re meeting the main bits have all been sorted. That’s not to say it could go wrong though.

I don't know any more than my original post but the fact that the plane headed towards Monaco is interesting. We know Dalman lives in Monaco so he could be the middle man for the sale.

That said, a lot of rich people live in Monaco so could have just been his destination after the meeting anyway.
