You've literally nothing to base that on and guessed. I know there were quite a lot HMRC there, but to call them an invasion is exaggerating the point somewhat.

China Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can anyone give me brief summary of what's been going on I've not been keeping up, there's far too much to worry about at County but always had a soft spot for Latics, so has the takeover happened and are things looking up?

bozman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 40 minutes ago, singe said: Update Alan Nixon has replied: "Been here for months" He has been here for months but has been back to Dubai at least a couple of times during that time. His family live there. I was in Dubai myself last week and was telling the story of our takeover to a couple of ex-pats. They pointed out that him resigning from the company he runs there will cause him problems with his residential status, as his visa will have been issued on the basis of him setting up a company there. Assuming that he wants his family to remain based there, there are ways around it but he'll have to spend a bit of time there sorting it out. Ive noticed that a lot of Nixon's comments on the takeover have taken on a rather negative and cynical tone. I don't think this in itself is anything at all to be concerned about.

Excellent points, I've tweeted in reply to someone that it would not be surprising if he runs it from there. Perfectly doable, albeit not quite ideal. He probably allowed a few months, and thought it would all be sorted by now anyway. Agree about the negative slant, and most things Latics if you look. Not sure it's the same for every club, so he's probably been slighted at some point like Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If the "raid' by HMRC and the SFO is a problem for the "whatever it is now", as another month rolls by, it won't just be a matter of days. It is more likely to be a matter of years but of course Mark Moisley tells us it is ongoing. As ongoing can be taken to mean - in progress, under way, going on, continuing, happening, occurring, taking place, proceeding, being done, being worked on, being performed, current, extant, existing, existent, progressing, advancing, evolving, growing, developing - can't see how there could be a problem.

tGWB Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Clocks ticking . . . . January Transfer Windows opens up in 4 weeks and we're highly likely to lose the services of both Jack Byrne and Eoin Doyle and I fear without new investment in place, highly likely to not be in a position to bring in any replacements Next two to three weeks will make or break this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add we've twice been told that 4-6 weeks it will be completed, and also the HMRC raid does not affect the takeover. Also the prospective new owner (and often guests) has been a near ever present at games for several months, and is a friend of the current owner but we have no indication of the funds available. Time will tell, but grounds for optimism, but we're wary until he holds the scarf aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ones been involved in dealing with the media in football management for the best part of 20 years the other has just been appointed into his first coaching role. Jewell could be quite an asset for us both for what he can give to the players and to the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
