Hang on a sec mate...He's a Chav fan; he was a contractor brought in to seel the club; and there's a small matter of 500K for completing the deal...
So let's not get carried away. HE has no loyalty to the club. He did a job, he's finished with (or so it seems). And it looks like he did a good job.
So I'll settle for a Thanks, and I'll buy him a pint if I ever see him. Time for some local and/or dedicated fans to step up.

bah, humbug

What it means that H&G dont get an automatic right of appeal, what they need to do is to apply to the Court of Appeal and request that the CoA allows them to appeal, i.e. its making an appeal more difficult for them (although not still ruling out the possibility of an appeal).

Refusing leave to appeal by the trial judge is where he feels that an appeal would be a waste of the court system's time and pointless.

He can appeal if he decides to go through all the process of appeal courts.. However, it was such an emphatic, damning outcome against him that he would be extremely foolish to do it. He would almost certainly lose the appeal.

What if they DO appeal ? Can the club be sold to NESV tonight/tomorrow if there's a possibility that G&H are going to appeal ? And even if they do sell the club to them, can a successful appeal overturn the sale ?
