Isn't it being announced at the end of the year Vidal?
I haven't been informed personally Jorvik but Percy's article says that it is expected that negotiations will be completed by the end of the month and that an announcement is due before the end of the year. They are both the same thing really given that December is traditionally the final month of the year.
So yes, basically.
It is only in recent times that December is the last month of the year. At one time new years day was March 25th.

But that was only when you were a lad Spart.
Be aware that the new year can be a time of great stress and bewilderment for those of us that don't like change.........
"Recent times" being 1750 in this case when the Gregorian calendar was adopted. So Spart must be around 280 years old, as has long been suspected. No wonder he can't figure out how to do online ticket purchases.
300 odd years out of over 2000 Vidal. March 25th was traditionally the date of the conception of Jesus. Remarkable how these old guys knew. Blame Denis the small, he got the dates wrong and even started at 1 not zero.
The Romans didn't bother with January and February, the year stopped at the end of December and started again in March. Named after the god of war it was so they could start going to war again after the winter break. Prior to the Julian calendar the Romans didn't add the quarter day so the dates were really out of kilter with the seasons.
I don’t really understand how we will have more to spend.
If the investors put in £800 Billion Billion Trillion Gazillion we will not be able to spend any of it as it hasn’t been generated by the club. It’s the whole point of FFP. To stop sugar daddies.
We can of course do a Forest, Leicester, Bournemouth, QPR, Sheff Wed, Birmingham, AstonVilla etc and extend a middle finger to FFP.
But as it stands, without breaking the rules we will not have any extra cash to splash.
800 billion billion trillion gazillion
That’s jezzas weekly pocket money
Or what the Barclay brothers paid de Pfeffel for lying.

I have heard on the grapevine that DCFC are potentially to be added to that list.
I doubt that Will. Since when were you privy to the inner workings of the EFL? I think it's just wishful thinking on your part.
Nothing to stop sugar daddies Rameses, it's just that sugar daddies don't actually use their own money in a gift to the club, nothing can stop that, but most just load the clubs with debt.
As the rules stand the clubs relegated from the Premier league have an even greater financial advantage than they did before. I doubt whether the EFL will do anything about that though. Basically the people who run football are either incompetent, corrupt or more likely both.

Surely, he doesn't have to be paid for lying. He does it by pure instinct. He has no concept whatever of TRUTH. He simply says the first - self advancing - thing that comes into his head. And afterwards, he cannot remember what he did say so doesn't even know he has been lying.
He has to be paid to lie on someone else's behalf. The articles he wrote when he was Brussels correspondent for the Telegraph were all lies to discredit the EU. They don't like the EU because it could have threatened their tax free fiefdoms in the Channel Islands.
Note the Barclay brothers don't like the NHS either and numerous articles to discredit the NHS have been appearing in the Telegraph for years.
Just as well we voted leave to "take back control".
Talking of newspapers, I've only of late (maybe 7 or 8 years) started buying a newspaper, that being the "i".
They sold-out to the Daily Mail owners last week, so that's put an end to that.

Henri Gabay.
Never heard of him.
https://www.leaprate.com/financial-services/fines/nfa-fines-uk-based-duet-asset-management-1-million-prohibited-loans-ceo/
This guy seems a bit dodgy. From his form I would suggest he would have been right behind Mel selling the ground to himself.
But with only a $1m dollar fine for financial dodgy dealings against him he'll fly through the fit and proper persons test.
I do seriously hate that our game has been reduced to going cap in hand to chancers like this. There is hardly a club left that doesn't have some dodgy financial stench about it. A necessity forced upon it by trying to keep afloat in an increasingly unfair playground.
Have to agree Rameses, he does appear dodgy, but without looking to cause offense, most successful multi millionaire business types have the tendancy to be dodgy. ( In a previous role I came across a lot of highly successful businesses that avoided paying their creditors, this also included one fawaz al hasawi )
He's got four companies under different director names of Henry Gabry (Swiss nationality) that have dissolved and one that he's resigned from.
He does appear to have a substantial net worth, my only concern at this early stage is whether he's a three Amigo, Sam Rush type of character only interested in helping himself or interested in helping the club progress?
I'm really not bothered about how he's earned his money Desi or that he's been fined for being dodgy.
It's purely that we and other clubs are having to look for ridiculous amounts of money to pay mediocre human beings obscene sums of money to kick a football.
If this guy is appointed to the board I wont pay to see Derby play until he has gone.
Rolls Royce is Derby. Thousands of Rams fans have worked there over the years that the company has been associated with the City. It has always amazed me why they have never sponsored the club. They are a massive company and could easily bankroll us for years to come.
I just don't understand that one.
Toyota have sponsored a stand, surely they could be persuaded to cough up more. As far as I know we are the only club connected to Toyota in the country.
So two huge Multi-nationals on our doorstep and we have managed to squeeze next to nothing out of them.
What's the problem?
We are left going cap in hand to anyone with a quid or two.

Fair enough.
Concerns me that Mel Morris hasn't shown signs he's learning how to run a club, issues with Rush, sale of stadium to himself ( see Sheffield Wednesday and a potential 21 point deduction), the types of players we should be recruiting at the club, handling of Keogh gate and on top of that we may be adding a board member that could possibly be dodgy character.
