What's the gut feeling on whether a decision one way or the other will definitely be made this week? I think if it is any longer it will interfere with pre-season and possibly irk Pulis.
In the absence of any concrete news we are just guessing. We know that 3 possible buyers undertook due diligence which given that this would involve incurring significant costs on professional fees there is serious intent on the part of the potential bidders.
The due diligence process was completed at the beginning of this month if at that stage none of the bidders were interested we get an announcement to the effect that Peace is not selling. Obviously we know that discussions are on going with at least one of the potential buyers but equally I believe all of them had signed up to buying the club on a business as usual basis, i.e. none of them were proposing making sweeping changes to the way the club is run nor the personnel involved.
Plainly there are plans in place for this window given that we have been actively pursuing Ba and that would be the most expensive signing we would be making regardless of any change in ownership I think it is fair to say the ownership issue is not presenting any practical issues with regard to the day to day operations at the club.
In short there is no reason for Pulis to be irked and frankly the future ownership of the club is far more important than the Head Coach being irked even to the point of flouncing out as he did at Palace. That said I don't believe it will drag on much longer there must come a point where a final offer is made and it is accepted or rejected.
