Bees fans are aware that Bees United are working to complete the acquisition of the majority shareholding in Brentford FC before the end of the week.
The final negotiations and legal drafting are continuing in an intense effort to complete the deal but it it is certainly not yet finalised and it may well be delayed.
The deadline for Bees United to complete the acquisition of the majority shareholding in the Club is the end of January but it will be in the Club's best interest to refinance the overdraft as soon as possible.
As always there are some outstanding issues to be resolved at the last minute and it remains to be seen whether those that have arisen in the past few days are more serious than we thought.
I would like to thank the Hounslow Chronicle for their accurate and responsible reporting in today's edition. Any other reports that you read are pure speculation. The board of Brentford FC will remain unchanged until any takeover is complete.
Brian Burgess
Chairman, Bees United
