The Club have yet to make an official announcement but is expected early next week.
Having reportedly passed the test set by the EFL for ‘Owners and Directors test’ to confirm sufficient funds to run the club it is now just the anxious wait for fans to have the deal signed and delivered. Understandably fans will not be convinced until they see it for themselves.
The following restructure of the board could mean John Fenty stepping away from the club in an official, but would still be expected to continue his relationship as a fan.
Let us know your thoughts.
