We all want the deal done now so we can start looking to a better future, but frustratingly, these things take time. The extra funding has bought breathing space for ME to make sure he is happy with what he is purchasing. Whilst it's poor form for people to cast aspersions in the absence of news, it's a good thing to make regular updates of where matters lay.
I know in business most people do as JM has done and keep quiet so not to compromise the deal, but sport is very public business with fanatical interest. A bi-weekly update confirming negotiations are still on going wouldn't go amiss.
