I'm taking a more positive/glass half full view of this.
Yeh, I know it is dragging on and I'm frustrated as well.
But I've no doubt that there is a hell of a lot of behind the scenes work to be done with lawyers and the contracts which takes time. It was unofficially announced a few weeks ago that Mitch had agreed to terms so I'm assuming that all the paperwork has to be finalised before being signed.
It is in the interest of both parties to ensure this is all done correctly. Contracts may have to be forwarded and returned between both parties several times before a final copy is therefore signed and consequently announced by the club.
It is my belief that Mitch wants to and will stay and will announce soon.
It is also my belief that his uncle would have been screwing us hard, hence the ongoing delays. I think it is unfair to blame Mitch and make claims of greed, etc... None of us knows what goes on behind the scenes.
In the Fox article above, Mitch mentions several times how good the club have been to him and have handled negotiations. He also heaps praise on BA for his handling of the situation.
Mitch isn't going anywhere. Just my opinion.
PS : I have no inside information.
