There is certainly no doubt that the Newcastle United takeover saga is the most complicated case the Premier League has ever handled.
Any ownership takeover process takes time and the Newcastle fans will have to be patient.
Both the buying and the selling parties remain confident that the deal will go through, but the Premier League are facing objections over the issues of the violation of human rights and piracy.
A deal in the region of £300 million has already been agreed between Mike Ashley and the Newcastle potential owners. The potential new owners have signed a contract and a part payment, that is non-negotiable, has been paid to Ashley as well.
