Who's club?
Are they being sold or do they think it's us?

The prince who owns Sheffield United has apparently accepted a bid for the club no names yet but the sale has gone or is going to the EFL for approval, let’s see how long that takes.

Would it be allowed? I know you can’t own two clubs but can you own the ground one club plays at and the club and a ground of another team (if sheff utd own their ground).

There’s still a conflict of interest, so it will probably take all of 5 seconds for the EFL to approve it.

Can’t see owning a building affects owning a football club and officially it’s the Fraser group who own the CBS not Ashley. interesting though if true what the EFL stance on this one might be. Reckon Ashley for Sheffield is just a fan led rumour.

He doesn't own the CBS however. Frasers do, and he stepped away from the board.

A transfer embargo isnt the end of the world as presumably it prevents us selling players too.

No it doesn't, you can sell players but can't buy players.

It’s literally just Sheff Utd fans praying it isn’t Ashley that’s made it trend.

Just read about this proposed take over someone was in for Sheffield earlier but EFL refused to allow it because the buyers couldn’t satisfy the EFL with their business plan going forward

Think SU are going to court over a supposed £10M unpaid deposit, good luck with that.

Pro's cons, might let the ground go for that quick profit.
Cons Always the bridesmaid, who doesn't want a loaded owner regardless of the politics.
Sell your soul for the ackers?

I think there is a sell on clause if he sells within 12 months at a profit

That would be selling off assets that King has agreed a price for. So I would doubt it.

Though it does raise the question of how the club keeps going if the takeover is delayed, for whatever reason, especially if the delay takes us in to the transfer window.

Bar to compare us against.

Bournemouth just taken over by an American. Premier League approved it very recently. Suggestions he made the application in October and he's been approved in the last week or so. He'll take over the Chairmanship on 31 December, 2022. So approximately 2 months.

Let's see how quickly EFL can get ours done.... Though to date, I think Sheff Utd's change in ownership will probably happen quicker
