Took 6-8 weeks for the EFL to be happy.
So it will take some time to go through that but as long as this bloke has his money through legitimate sources then it shouldn't be an issue.
EFL now don't only check that people have the money but where the money has come from.

To see that their are NO Monies owed to anyone else and searches etc etc
Plus remember Tan has had so many court cases and managers etc etc being paid off all this will have to be looked at etc.
If they are happy to agree terms ,then, if the Club has given them the “true” financial information , then there can be no reason for it to fail .

So it could take a while, I'd guess months rather than weeks.
All very positive at the moment though

Bit of a difference trying to buy utd to city...but expect 2months to completing sale but we are long way down line so used up time already!.....but once get to due diligence stages testing it's usually a formality

Agreed, but ask Sam and Ridsdale, Tan is not easy to deal with, I'd imagine it will take six months, if it's done by Christmas, that would be rapid.
It's complicated with Dalmans' interest and all the court cases.
It's still great news and it does seem like it will get done.

Not sure theres comparison with Sam risdale as dalman issue sorted already...... all need is bid accepted and that looks likely this week! unless tan moves goalposts that can happen .... oy delay really is efl checks but if Gary otto is involved already part owner of efl club so he'll know the score b couple months will see things done to completion if not sooner ....
