Northampton chairman Kelvin Thomas said: “We have undertaken a thorough and exhaustive review, carefully assessing the proposed investment, the ownership model, long-term financial viability, and the credentials and financial strength of all parties.”
“Clearing both the IFR and EFL procedures marks a significant step for the club and should reassure fans and stakeholders about the investment and the groundwork being laid for our future.”
“We are grateful to the EFL and IFR for their professionalism, care, and comprehensive approach throughout.”
“As their diverse backgrounds show, the group shares a real passion for football. Several investors have already come to Northampton, spent time at the club, and been to games.”
“They bring a powerful mix of football knowledge and corporate and financial expertise, and with notable Brazilian involvement, we hope to see a touch of Brazilian flair and excitement as well.”
“With the regulatory steps now complete, we will turn to final paperwork and closing the investment. We will share full details on the investment, structure, and key investors once everything is finalized.”
“We appreciate the fans’ patience, and take comfort in the fact that such thorough processes exist within football.”
