    I have now reached the point where my bigger concern is if it goes ahead. The prevarication over the deal just seem too great. Each positive announcement is followed by........ nothing. If we become Abu Dhabi, will we see similar lethargy in decision making and release of funds?

    I know I've urged patience in the past and that deals don't happen overnight, but this is now dragging on too long.

    Sad to say, we're ****ed if it goes through and possibly buggered if it does not
    Ah...and you were being so nice yesterday.

    Difficult to imagine anything more ‘doomie’ than your final sentence. Suppose it depends on your taste.

    Serious question...is there any likelihood that the dynamic duo - Brexit and Covid (not Gunt and TTR) - might have caused a delay in the transfer of such a huge amount?

    Surely, if there is a delay in transfer and receipt of funds this would have been the subject of inter-communication between the two parties?? Under which circumstances Mel could easily reassure fans.
    Mind you, we are only lifelong fans so what's it got to do with us??!!

    One can transfer funds in a matter of hours across continents, so the only thing holding up a payment would be getting the money together, but frankly the deals been "on the verge of completion" for so long that if the funds still haven't been made available when required then I smell a rather large rodent. But we shall see.

    I would have to say "unlikely". The international banking system has operated just fine during the previous 10 months of COVID lockdowns etc, after a couple of hiccoughs. It essentially is all automated with minimal need for human intervention. I suppose if all authorised signatories at the sender's end were struck down with covid and there was noone to initiate or authorise the transaction, that might make it tricky... (but not gunterry).

    But actually in international trade terms, is it such a huge amount?

    As for Brexit, well it probably will get blamed for it, but a transaction between a UK bank and a non EU bank (presumably as the holding company of Derventio is in Gibraltar) seems unlikely to be impacted

    ‘Unlikely’...but not out of the question then.
    I know I’m probably clutching at straws but transferring God knows how many million dirham into Sterling and passing all the various ‘tests’ tax efficiently might take extra time.
    I know I transferred a mere four figure fee to Europe recently and it took about twice as long as anticipated.
    Any port in a storm!

    God no! Not that much.
    According to the DT there are no problems, they’ve been working night and day and there’s ‘a light at the end of the tunn....’

    Now where have we heard that before?

    Yes, I heard the same on S Pearce's Talksport interview earlier. "Just timing" is the excuse - well time is always with us, poor management is what I'd suggest.
