Moved the Cas chat to the other thread.
Let's leave this one to Takeover talk like Dunk suggested

Ellis’s letter where he outlined his intent seems a distant memory now. I can’t imagine he’s the one holding up the takeover.

Keep some patience people.

When solicitors are involved things rarely run to timescales and budget.

We are all crying for news and there are fans crying over a few outgoings like they’re like Penrith’s first teamers but there’s a long off season to go and plenty I’m sure to be announced.

No one is holding it up. Stop looking for a conspiracy. It's just how long it takes.

How do you know no one is holding it up, are you speaking with all parties ?

From a marketing point it makes. Sence to wait past the weekend.

Yes. Everything goes through me

Unless they have lined it all up to happen today… then I agree, the Grand final and the unfortunate announcement about Newcastle will put a dampener on any takeover press conference..
Most journalists will be in Manchester doing the player interviews etc.

Maybe the timescale of 14 days is a bit over promising.

The due diligence was originally hoped to take around 4 weeks, and it was 3 months later when the further announcement was made.

One thing I've learnt in professional life is under promise, over deliver, not the other way around.

Given what this club has been through i’m not sure a new era starting on Friday the 13th is a good idea anyway! I’m happy to not tempt fate and wait til monday!
