So to catch up...
- Kirchner bid is virtually dead in the water especially if the details re. his other businesses are true.
- Appleby and Morgan bids are 'not easily resurrectable'.
- Admins won't talk to Ashley.
Why didn't I support Liverpool or Man Utd as most of my friends did when I was back in primary school!
 

The march was one of the best days of my life - really felt like we were achieving something.  
The past few months has seen all the momentum we created slowly slip away however, its feels like we're watching a car crash in slow motion, powerless to do anything about it. 
Fortunately the clock really is ticking down now and one way or another it has to be sorted.  The whole process has left me feeling numb though, the EFL have to change to protect other clubs and fans from this Chinese water torture.

Yup, the media is full of claim/counter claim.  The Admins and EFL barely communicate.  I can do bugger all about any of it.
Que sera, sera.

We're just sat watching now, helpless.
The power we think we harnessed as fans last season, when we marched, sang and were defiant, was just an illusion, a fleeting beautiful moment when we became the club, and the club was energised from it. 
The harsh reality is hitting home, as we realise we're the collateral damage in a rich man's pissing contest.

I'm still going to say a little prayer for Kirchner tonight. 
Rightly or wrongly I will feel very sorry for him if he doesn't end up owning the club, as it just seems like he will have been swallowed up and spat out by bigger, more experienced players with more nous. 
Come on Chris, as many of us are with you as are against you, get the job done.
 

Anyone else just immune/numb to the nonsense at this point?

Finally

Pretty generous whilst we still have a five man squad!

Aarrgghh, so many conflicting stories in the media, so much silence from those involved.
As everything is beyond my control anyway, I'm off out for a walk.

As others have said, perhaps it was more to do with speed than avoiding anti-money laundering checks?
The fact that he has now gone back to the original plan and will wait for the money to clear the checks speaks for itself.

he is not transferring Crypto. I have just listened to the Alan Nixon on talksport and that was interesting.  The issue with CK is that he is transferring an amount larger than anything he has done before (red flag) and from the US to a country he probably has never transferred to before (red flag).
I would imagined a compliance officer of a US bank has made a SAR (suspicious activity report) to the FinCen (the US money laundering reporting establishment). In the UK we would send our SAR to the NCA (National Crime Agency).
The issue with this is that your bank transfer is blocked for a period (short) of time to allow an investigation. It will then be released. If you ever have a payment that is held up by a bank for about 5 days then that is what has probably happened.
Also it is a criminal offence to tell your client (CK) if you have made a SAR, so he will be well frustrated.
If it hasn't gone to the FinCen then the release should be quicker as the bank will be asking for potential proof of where his funds have come from and where they are going.  
The US banks are amongst the most stringent in the world due to the large fines given out by US regulators.
I think we just need to be patient as I'm not sure how much CK can tell us.

I did say that was probably the issue yesterday.
It's the establishment casting aspersions on something outside their control, as usual.
I'd like to bet there's even more money-laundering going on with real money and we all know how good the establishment is at preventing that!

No it isn't. https://twitter.com/cskirchner
 
I think everyone needs to relax a bit until we hear something from an official source. (not Dawes)

Nixons radio interview told us all we need to know. Kirchner has the dosh has tried to pay it over. Now waiting for anti money laundering checks to clear. 
Times scale making us all twitchy. Just have to sit tight today I think.
