According to Alan Biggs on social media all paper work is signed and take over completed!!!

Yes, all except for the football league ratification. That's why he says Mammadov is "technically" the owner of SWFC.

Would be nice UTO OvO

Yes, the paperwork has been signed, but ratification of the take-over must be received from the Football Authorities. It is only this that is holding up an official announcement from the club.
Sit tight, all will work out - we hope!

I wish you would all calm down! Yes we would like it sorted. Yes we would like some new signings. However the transfer window doesn't shut for over 3 months yet! There will also be some loans. In case you hadn't noticed loans are how football works now. 10% of the players in the premier are on loan from other prem clubs and that percentage gets higher in the champ and the pub leagues. If they didn't loan players out the top clubs in the prem would have squads of about 80. Players you have hardly heard of would rather be loaned out from Chelsea to here there and everywhere but earn £15k a week for 3 years, than actually go and play for the likes of us for £5k

According to sheff star some money that needs paying to lens hasn't been paid takeover not happened yet all hold our breath

Basically, the takeover HAS happened. Papers have been signed, etc. It's just waiting for the football league and if Cellino can be the owner of Leeds then Mammadov is going to have no problem. It's just a matter of time.

Some good points made on this thread.
Our fans should appreciate that all that's happened is a simple admin error between two countries.
These sort of things happen in big business on a daily basis.
If you were paying the £10m from your bank account you too would leave it while the last minute to payout, simply because its earning you a fortune every day in interest, so why pay earlier than you have to. Somebody simply forgot that there was a bank holiday which came in to play.
Finally, this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what is happening at S6. Just relax and enjoy the new era which is just about to start!

I agree there are a lot of good points on here. It's only normal to be a bit worried when you hear things like this after the disastrous 15 years we have had. I have high hopes for this takeover and am optimistic about Mammadov. From what I have read he seems exactly what we need. I just want it ratified so the new signings can come, and when they do we will be able to see what his intent is. Very exciting times. I'm not panicking but until the first few quality signings arrive I am trying to play down my enthusiasm just in case.

Its all go on transfer's Monday.

I for one cannot understand why we havnt made signings by now as mm said we could make them before takeover and yet sg said he hadnt talk to new owner yet over signings what is the true? its getting very worrying Mr C

Chill out and have faith. Everything will be revealed and you will be happy with the out come!! Trust me mate

Just had a conversation with my mate and he's read somewhere that mammadov is going bankrupt I told him I can't see it but apparently he's seen a couple of similar reports any one here heard anything

I asked a straight forward question looking for intelligent input and that's your reply get a life mate can any one else other than the donkey above shed anymore light on this subject, I'm a true owl by the way and so is my mate its just something he read somewhere and thought I'd ask you guys if you heard anything similar

No one other than MM and HM knows what is going on. Perhaps the confusion is arising from MM's saying that we can go ahead and buy the players now. Permission to buy is one thing, persuading players to sign before they know the outcome of the takeover is another. I hope all is well but I do share Mr C's concern.

Lens promotion to Ligue 1 suspended after failing to meet financial criteria. Just been on SSN.

The Star is running an article that FC Lens are not being allowed to get promoted due to a budget discrepancy as Mammadov has not transferred €10m into their account or something. Probably because he's just transferred £40m into Mandaric's

I believe in miracles, where you from, you sexy thing

Mammadov is notgoing bankrupt, The artile they mst be refering to is one on Baghlan grouphaving edit rating downrated. This is more to do with urrent finanialissues around Europe than Mammadov going bankrupt.
Star article explains issue re Lens clearly.
Do not worrry world of finance is an interesting one.

Thanx for making some sense of it all for me, I've not seen none of articles jus heard from my mate and he is a half empty type of guy so we shouldn't worry to much then UTO WAWAW

Hafiz Mammadov comes from Scotland right?

Ye that's right and you must be from the Isle of scilly

Do any of you believe in miracles?

Well the story appears to be true and I am sure that it will provide a whole load of cannon fodder for our rival fans and our own negs.
However, it will hopefully be cleared up soon and then be put down as a false alarm for us Owls fans.

Its called cash flow problems. That's the timing of money coming in and going out.
Every one has this problem from time to time, some have problems meeting their full commitments on time, others never had sufficient funds in the first place. Others say the late payment regarding Lens FC was due to a public holiday getting I the way of the funds being transferred.
Its take your pick time. If the money arrives at Lens OK game on if not. It might turn out to be another Wednesday Wonderland.

Its not even a false alarm, it is apparently factual that a payment was missed but its not really a story.
From the reports I've seen a payment from Lens was not received on the due date - because it was a public holiday - and because of that the French system swung in to action and things kicked off.
The press got hold of it and the scandal started - unusual that?
Having lived and worked in France they are VERY keen on financial matters and this sort of thing is not unusual at all.
But to suggest from a missed contribution that Mamma is somehow in financial difficulties is absolutely ludicrous!
Facts are facts - they just don't appeal to the headline writers of the world!
