morning ED
How far down the line is the takeover? .
Can they pull out?
Can they put pressure on mosh to remove dyche?
{Ed001's Note - it is impossible to put a timeline on something like this, they are extremely complicated and take months. People assume that they happen quickly because they think Abu Dhabi United Group bought Manchester City in just a few days. In fact, what really happened was that they agreed the deal, bought Robinho as a good faith down payment on it, but the actual takeover was still not completed in time for the January transfer window and only just in time for the following summer - nearly a full year later.
Yes, either party can still pull out.
It is possible they could make do so, but why bother when you will be able to just do it yourself when you complete the deal?}

thanks for that, on the last point, wouldn't it be cheaper to pay him till the end of contract rather than relegation?
{Ed001's Note - that would have to be something the current regime do.}

I think really if they were in a position where they couldn’t pull out they wouldn’t have any leverage to ask Moshiri to sack him.
And if they were applying pressure that would indicate to me that they were a long way off completing otherwise they would do the process themselves and have complete control over the outcome.
As much as I want Dyche replaced I would prefer we get the takeover right first.
I’m just praying it is sufficiently down the line to offer us some hope that our premier league status can be maintained
The shame there would be starting next season in one of the finest stadiums in world football in the second tier of the English league.
{Ed001's Note - I don't see you getting relegated under Dyche, the three promoted sides are far worse.}

Have you not seen us play recently Ed1? I think the fact you are on for your second title (barring a massive downturn in form) is affecting your judgement….
{Ed001's Note - I have, but I have also seen the others too and they are in a worse mess than you.}

We can only hope Ed1, we can only hope….
{Ed001's Note - I am confident you will be fine.}
