I've heard so. Don't think it's a secret and I'm sure others are aware, especially Eastmoor based fans.

Leaves one feeling a bit uneasy when that name is mentioned

Do you honestly think for one second that Matt Ellis needs any advice on which legal firm to use. The man heads up a hugely profitable multi million pound company.

I would think Ellis would have his own legal advisors and I am sure the one thing he will be use to is business negotiations.

If you know you know if you don't you don't if people are speculating clearly they don't and that's .y assumption after ME pulled out of the meeting last we clearly he doesn't know either.

You're assuming Matt Ellis had the choice and wasn't told to not attend.

He also said, that once the takeover was finally legally completed,he would call a shareholders meeting, hopefully within 48 hours of announcement of takeover.

I tend to agree, although I have no doubt Ted had Trinity close to his heart I hope he is nowhere near the potential new owner.

There is no assuming.

Matt wanted to come and introduce his team.
When things weren't signed he wanted to cancel but JM said he would do the meeting anyway as it was short notice and they'd arrange a follow up when things were signed.

Will there be some news this week? - I hope so, it will be good to see the new coach in place and some good signings!
I assume the legal people are now dealing with the final stage, so we cannot expect any speed except ‘dead slow’ but completion soon would be good!

Quite right, 1315. Now that we have the financial means we don't want to be at the back of the queue when it comes to signing up available players.
