Im sure the club have been told the takeover has gone through, by the way Robins is talking, just waiting for it to be announced now
Would think EFL will want assurances regarding ground and this is holding things up. Saying we are ok till may 23 won't cut it.
The EFL have already approved the License stuff haven't they?
They’ve said they’ll be assisting a longer term (10 year) deal according to the Telegraph.

It is normal for a manager of a club to pay tribute to the fans for their support.
But few supporters in the country have been through more than those of Coventry City in recent years. Robins feels it, and he means it.
"The players deserve an enormous amount of credit, but we have an unbelievable support as well," says Robins. "They are the biggest constant and have been magnificent.
"They enable you to do your job properly. That cannot be underestimated. They're so much behind everything that gets done, and all the difficulties.
"They've been here and lived through all the issues of the last 15 years or so. I've been here nearly six years, it's been tough but the players, the staff, the supporters, they all make it worthwhile."

The Wembley win against Oxford was the catalyst for everything, IMO. Going away to the grounds in League 2 was something else with support we had; without that win attendances would have been poor and it got have quickly got toxic.
He's just trying to stretch it out until the Sheff United game on Boxing day (Feast of Stephen) so he can legitimately be referred to as Doug King Wenceslas
Something about putting your left leg in and your right leg out?
Bored now.
How frickin long does it take to approve this supposed take over?
What are they checking, his inside leg measurement and whether he had a Post Office savings account when he was 6?
Ffs, just get on with it.
