At last, after all the "we've got two weeks to sort it" two weeks ago, we now have 10 October bandied around as the first concrete date for completion by Brent.
IJN, mindful of his promise to deliver a compliant online fanbase, has said that would be the absolute worst case scenario for a sale.
Brent, on the other hand, is saying it's optimistic. And so on and on we go, with various people stretching and stretching the date out further and further, bit by bit. And we haven't even started yet on the public frightfest.
This now means not only the September and October wages not paid in full, but another deferral in November.... it will be the end of the season soon. Thank gawd someone had the sense to buy off the strike leaders with nice new jobs .. eh.... this is going to run and run with Pasoti Trust fully compliant in the ongoing disgrace. I thought everyone was working for months on a smooth well oiled rescue plan..... piffle.
Edited to add: Things moving quickly. Hopefully, it appears Brent might not be such a horror as Heaney. Details are sketchy, but it's reported Brent sees the logic of actually paying his future staff while he concludes his deal. If that is the case, well done ... we shall see.
