Surely the Football League should give there answer soon,as Doncaster's takeover bid was around the same time or am I missing something out? If Massimo Cellino can take over Leeds then Hafiz Mammadov shouldn't have a problem.

Looking at explanation as why John ryan was rejected, it was becausethey had not given enough details of their future income. Apparently this is being applied to L1 teams going forwardand has been used by Championship teams for last 4. I can see why this takes time if you are a businessman with money in different continents. It would seem daft if a person has just stumped up £40 million to ask what type of income do you receive on a regular basis, Think some common sense needs to be applied, if a person wants to walkaway from an investment they can this type of test proves nothing just acts as a barrier. More I read about FA and FL the more I realise they have no idea on what they are doing. To ask for a business plan is understandable but again difficult to hve detailed one before you know ins nd outs of club.

I also feel that Milan is sticking his neck on the line saying takeover will be complete, he could lose he credibility to the fans if this falls through.

Cellino deal was going on for a long time before it was announced. As other posts have said, MM and HM had there hand forced over announcing the takeover as the press got wind of it and they made an offical announcement rather than letting the press leak it. All the signs like the new sponsorship, new signings (all be it frees for now) and current players signing new deals point towards the takeover going through but that they are just finalising all the paperwork and confirming everything is correct. Another thought i've just had is that annoyingly Cellino might have had an effect on the takeover as the FL might be going through things a little more carefully to make sure they don't let another crook like him in.

SWFC13 you have made a very intresting point about Cellino and the FL. With all that has been said by Milan about selling the club to the right man, if this takeover goes south, then surely he going to feel like a right plonker.

I don't think there will be any problem with the takeover I think Mammadov has the funds and can prove that just that the FL has been stung by the Cellino affair and they are being extra careful with takeovers at the moment. As I mentioned in another post the bureaucracy involved in this takeover is not helping the speed with which it can be completed. I have complete faith that the takeover will be finalised soon (and by soon I mean within the month not next couple of days), there have been enough positive signs to say everything is heading in the right direction.
