AK was away on hols before I spoke to OXB just before Christmas, no idea if he is back before New Year.
I think we have to remember that 7 days either way (for example) makes no odds really to him....if a deal is imminent its imminent...it is only nervous types on here that give a stuff.
I dont see much point news coming out before the city is all back from holiday and I am sure AK will get a much better deal if he feels he is not committed to signing a dotted line before 31/12 (which he isnt).
The prospective partners have to know he will only agree a deal if its the best deal for OXB and its shareholders, not to some arbitrary time line.
I dont expect to have to wait long...purely from what has been said publicly by OXB in webcasts, RNS's and the like...if its a few days great, i dont really care if its a few weeks...
