| The takeover by Gamechanger 20 Ltd - The training ground land 23:56 - Mar 2 with 159574 views | Muncher |
I’ve been doing a bit of digging at HM Land Registry today and what I have seen backs up what Phil has previously mentioned and leads me to believe the takeover is well underway and likely just waiting EFL approval.
The Playford Road site (2 parcels of land) is the subject of a priority search in respect of an intended purchase by Gamechanger 20 Ltd which was lodged on 23 February by law firm Gateley PLC out of their Birmingham office (first instruction by that client).The Bent Lane site is subject to a similar priority search in respect of part of the site only, meaning the Evans group company is retaining part of it.
A priority search is carried out by solicitors to preserve their place in the queue of potential applications for dealing, it confers a priority period of about 45 days. It is a matter of public record and available to view by professionals who have the requisite portal account. It is typically only done in the immediate anticipation of completing a transaction, it can be done slightly ahead of this, but usually is done on the day of exchange of contracts. I’m a commercial property solicitor so carry out these searches on a regular basis. My best guess (based on the timing of the search) is Evans likely entered into a conditional contract last Tuesday for the sale of the land (and club). You would not carry out such a search unless a deal including the detail had either been agreed or was extremely close. The reason such searches are not carried out lightly is because it prevents the proprietor from entering into other transactions while the priority is lodged. If a deal is not happening you should cancel the search, but all 3 remain in place.
There is no corresponding priority search in respect of the stadium lease and I would not expect there to be as the lease is owned by the club as tenant and I would expect Gamechanger 20 Ltd is acquiring the existing share capital owned by Evans.
I am happy to share screenshots if anyone would like to see, but the searches are in relation to the Playford Road site (title number SK219236 & SK203140) and the bent lane site (SK200320) they appear under the “application enquiry” tab.
EDIT:
I have now have a placed a brief article on my firm's website here discussing it:

I don't really understand what you quite expect? What are you expecting to hear? Who from?
As it's been pointed out several times, the deal is in motion, just let it play out. If it happens, great. If not, then it doesn't happen. |  |

Is there a time when a take over , (any take over), would be best being done , in terms of taxation etc . ie is it best done before the end of a tax year, or right at the end of a tax year? |  |

I can answer that question.
It depends. |  | | |

Sorry, I was being awkward.
There are literally, so many variables.
Simply, you could possibly be right in respect of delaying for fiscal tax year to pass, but it's too difficult to tell. MEG is comprised of multiple companies, various year ends and then the possible details of the actual takeover and impact on Evans as an individual.
Who knows, but maybe lol! | | | |

They do move slowly, you just don't usually know about them. They take months. |  |

It really isn't — honestly. People are too attuned to the need for 24/7 news now now now. Big things like this don't work like that. | |

You do realise this has all been going on for around 7/8 months now.... we only started to hear about this maybe a month ago at best |  |

I get the impression that they've kept this under wraps incredibly well, it is likely news of the deal has only leaked once has been agreed. | | | |

Exactly. I don't see why Brett would've started liking all of ITFC's posts if a deal hasn't already been agreed. | |

It's how these things work. It will certainly have been ongoing for many months. | |

Do you honestly think this takeover just appeared a couple of weeks back and that was the start of it? | |

Maybe not directly relevant but my work involves setting up commercial partnerships and we often work on things that take 12-18 months to complete, and that's just two organisations agreeing to work together let alone an actual takeover. |  |

Theres a podcast with Jordan Gardner (associate of Brett) and he talks about how he wasn't keen on being part of game changer 20 as wouldn't make money from us etc. Thought it was interesting as his mate pretty much confirms the takeover
