Great, hopefully no fallout from EFL and now hopefully we get more communication and clarity on what's going on and maybe even what went on!

Why would there be a fallout from the EFL?

Because the announcement by the club contravened EFL rules.

What announcement - the one today or the one about an owners update in early June?

Cline-Thomas added, "With my family hailing from Leeds, it's an honour to be able to uplift this incredible community. This is more than just an opportunity, it's a personal mission. The chance to reinvigorate the cherished Leeds culture, to create a platform that attracts the world's finest players, and build a truly global brand that celebrates diversity, is a prospect that thrills me.”

Did not know he was from Leeds stock. Nice.

I thought something must be happening when all these signings were being mentioned. Great news and they are saying the right things

…..the announcement by EFL 4 days ago about no takeovers are to be announced prior to elf approval.

But there’s zero chance of any ‘fallout from EFL’, because the rules were only approved after the 49ers announcement.

But the announcement of the takeover was today - after EFL approved. There has never been such an announcement before.

The only other announcement about owners I can find is the one in early June and that did not announce a takeover but stated that agreement had been reached and clearly stated details needed to be worked out still - this is a normal statement in M&A.

Leeds announced in June that Aser Ventures and 49ers Enterprises had reached an agreement to purchase the Whites following their relegation from the Premier League. However, the change of ownership had still to be finalised, with the takeover pending league approval.
The new takeover rules make it against the rules in future to announce takeovers prior to EFL approval

That's how I read it also.

Michael Phelps is one of the minority owners. Gold.

News is sinking in: buzzing. Absolutely buzzing.

Excellent news and a couple of days earlier than was expected so one big hurdle seemingly cleared and hopefully the next couple of weeks will be a hive of activity with exciting new signings arriving and dead wood shifted and fingers crossed we don't have to get rid of all our crown jewels.

This is not correct.

The rules were approved at EFL AGM in June, before the 49ers announcement.

I see someones absolutely dying for us to get charged by the EFL

I mean the agenda's already started but that would really get the ball rolling for a season of doom-mongering

So, if Radrizzani had tweeted some nonsense about white smoke over ER back in May or June, whenever the agreement was made between Aser and Marathe's investment group, and then we experienced the same deafening silence from the club for weeks and weeks while EFL did their thing, would anyone have felt any better? Or would we all still be struggling to understand what's going on and what the future holds for "our" great football club?

In any case, that's thankfully a moot point now. We can at last get on with the real business of rebuilding. TFFT!

I think you’re looking for a potential negative despite the minimal likelihood of an occurrence.

But you said that the rule was only created because of the way we announced it.

So which version of your imagination are you sticking to?

I think you’re misunderstanding what “hopefully no fallout” means.

It means one doesn’t want it to happen.

Yeah fine….there’s lot in life that one doesn’t want to happen….. but most people don’t go around saying “hopefully I don’t get hit by a bus today”, and said it yesterday, and the day before… 🤷‍♂️
