Given Simon said that they have an offer which ticks all the boxes, and Swann is apparently willing to compromise, I wonder what the delay is. I know I am assuming some trust in Swann, but we have to take into account that it might be truthful.
I know some have pinned all their hopes on the Elliott-Sharp consortium, but I’d be happy with anyone reputable. The problem is that the other mooted figures, the London consortium, Smurthwaite, Hardy etc don’t seem to be those I’d want anywhere near the club.
