Another Hold-Up For 2015 Group

Mightily frustrating for all concerned, but the Football League will not be able to sign off the Transfer this week, purely due to the fact that key personnel are out of the UK until late next week.

It isn’t just a case of signing a piece of paper by Fax/e-mail/Courier, we wish it was.

It is the actual Share Transfer, in effect; the group takes part ownership (1/72th) of The Football League and receives its allocated share of its Commercial benefits/activities.

As such, the Football League Executive must sign original papers, in person etc and let’s face it; so it should.

With this in mind, The 2015 Group simply cannot hold the Open Day planned for this coming Sunday.

Without everything in place the group would be acting without the proper mandate in place, and if last summer has taught us anything, you will all appreciate; we are not going down that route!

I know this is incredibly difficult, after the past 14 months it feels like another kick in the teeth, and it is, but it is only a delay, nothing more.

And please, however disappointed you are reading this, also spare a thought for the people who have been working tirelessly for the past 10 weeks to try and get it over the line.

There is nothing at all to be worried about, it is just a (another) delay; hopefully this will be the last!

If anything changes, we’ll let you know, but for now, we’ve just got to wait.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-sus.
