Exactly, I don't buy it. If they are truly still working through that, it suggests they are having tremendous difficulty with that. If Red Bull were able to make it work with Leipzig and Salzburg, I have a hard time believing the Rat Pack won't also be able to overcome this.
The optimist in me says the delays are because of complex mechanisms being negotiated as part of the deal that will pave the way for Jimmy to take majority control under predetermined future conditions.
The pessimist in me says we've been misled and the deal has never truly been as close to ratification as was reported, leaving us with indefinite Glazer ownership and they strike some kind of private credit deal like Atalanta.
The realist in me says this is just more Glazer incompetence and even that which should be relatively settled can never be taken for granted with these cretins.
