I can understand the reluctance. If you pay that 100k you are basically committing to buying the club no matter what division we’re in or what state we’ll be in by the time you take over. You can’t back out at the last minute should the appeal fail or you lose the 100k. So any businessman rich or poor that are worth their salt would wait to find out for certain what league we’re in before deciding whether to commit the 100k and buy the club.
I’ve got a horrible feeling we’re going to be waiting well into August for a decision on the appeal and no one will pay the 100k until then. Which means we won’t see someone takeover the club until probably the end of September when you take into account due diligence and the FPP test, so we’d be starting the season with no manager and a skeleton side. Basically Bolton from last year all over again. Or worse, we lose the appeal, no one wants us as a struggling L1 club, and we fold once the assets run out god forbid.
