Do you think Brighton have gazumped us? (n/t) on 16:03 - May 29 by ArmaghBlue
He just needs to employ faster lawyers!!!
I’m really not surprised it’s dragging out.
Not everyone required to make an alteration may be available every minute of every day. One change Kieran may want to make would have to be drafted by his lawyer, Kieran approve it, his lawyer emails it to the club’s lawyer, who then emails it to the club. Perhaps that change can’t be authorised by Ashton alone. Maybe he has to involve Schwartz, or Gamechanger, or the new investors - or indeed all of them. They might not agree on the response, taking time to discuss and agree that response. Inform the lawyer. New draft. New draft approved. New draft emailed to Kieran’s lawyer, he sends it to Kieran with his thoughts. Kieran considers the change.
Rinse and repeat.
It’s a real snorefest, but necessary.
The best contracts, when finally finalised and signed, are those that gather dust in the filing cabinet never to see the light of day again.

That's the plan. Just tying up loose ends of legal stuff. I assume there's a bit of toing and froing between lawyers.
Bound to be lawyers sending emails/doing telephone calls, none of which are required but charging £500 for every one. Classic lawyers, delays equal more £s for them.

I never believed the high costs people mentioned about solicitors etc, until I received a bill recently in regards to property sales, and it quoted £250 - reading emails. £250 for reading, wtf.

I've read this forum a load over the last ten days or so. Who do I send the bill to?

Yep. That’s just for a property lawyer. When you get to the main firms dealing with a multi million £ football manager’s contract it can be triple that . .

Can you just have this constantly running on the forum?
or just during the school holidays - it would be like playing classical music in shopping centres to keep the kids away.
And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Fog everywhere. Fog up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city. Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. Fog in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper, down in his close cabin; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little 'prentice boy on deck. Chance people on the bridges peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog, with fog all round them, as if they were up in a balloon, and hanging in the misty clouds.
Gas looming through the fog in divers places in the streets, much as the sun may, from the spongey fields, be seen to loom by husbandman and ploughboy. Most of the shops lighted two hours before their time - as the gas seems to know, for it has a haggard and unwilling look.
The raw afternoon is rawest, and the dense fog is densest, and the muddy streets are muddiest near that leaden-headed old obstruction, appropriate ornament for the threshold of a leaden-headed old corporation, Temple Bar. And hard by Temple Bar, in Lincoln's Inn Hall, at the very heart of the fog, sits the Lord High Chancellor in his High Court of Chancery.
The longer this drags on , the less inclined I am starting to feel, that he wants to stay with us and instead, wants the "big club"....Is he (and his agent ?) holding out for Utd I wonder? TBH there's nothing we can do if he does decide to walk away, (but am hoping beyond hope that he doesn't) . I think Town have done all they can to persuade him to stay . If its not to be , its not to be. But it is wasting the Clubs valuable time if we do need to look elsewhere...

Well I think the question is more "Do CAA Base want him to sign an extension?".
If they don't, it is pretty easy for them to sink the deal claiming 'they are acting in McKenna's best interests'.
One things for sure, their google reviews are going to take a massive nosedive if they don't get this over the line:
