I ask this because it appears the Swansea deal is done. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/05/swansea-city-takeover-premier-league Or is this just in the same way that ours is "complete", ie. they've agreed the price and now the fit & proper tests are to be completed? Because to me, this Swansea deal seems like it's in the bag and ours continues to drag on. Says in the article been negotiating since April 2015 Takeover is subject to owners and directors test.. so I think ours is within normal timescales......I have to say though I wouldn't totally surprised if ours did hit a snag....

omariqy Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The DD and test normally takes 2 to 4 weeks based on other takeovers. I saw that the Dr responded to a Villa fan on Weibo and said he expects everything to go through by 15th June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 A guy on Twitter has shown a screenshot that he messaged Dr Xia on Weibo (Chinese Twitter) asking when the takeover could be completed, and Xia replied 'expect June 15'. So if Xia is right, it looks like there's another week left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense as my client is a partner of a law firm himself. Never heard of Bird & Bird if honest, but the name stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
