Snowflake Royal Why anyone would have any expectation over when an announcement will be made at this point is beyond me.

Its done when its done and there's no reliability about anything until that moment. No matter who says what.


oxf*rd hell - talk about a fun vacuum. We may as well shut down the thread then and the entire forum.

We're discussing it as we're excited, anticipating the announcement, it's approaching a deadline, Saturday is building. It's harmless fun, mixed in with genuine debate.

Well said.

Minor delay today - in Huang we trust.

Ffs, if it doesn't get done this time just expel us and put us all out of our misery. Had enough of waiting for imminent announcements that don't happen. We know the sale was agreed over a week ago, does it take that long time transfer funds and assets into the right place to complete?

I don't doubt this stuff is hard, but I do doubt the competency and commitment of people involved. They're out of their depth.

It’s always good to hear from those who haven’t a clue what’s going on….gives a different perspective on affairs.

There will be an announcement on 5th May.

Or maybe even after.

Waiting for my official ITK medal when I'm proven right.

I've said nothing to do with discussing it, its people apparently getting upset nothing's been announced because some twitter randos said it would

Just had an email from a fairly senior RFC employee I have known for ages.
Doesn’t mention ownership at all.
I feel that is significant.

Kieran Maguire and Jim White have both reported it's extremely close, while our own EPK had the same version of events as the Twitter random. It's obviously exceptionality close but again the struggle is getting over the line. I don't think people are overreacting given the past 2 years. The worst always happens so we'll all assume it will again in the absence of good news.

Sorry guys. I've had radio silence all week from my end. Nothing good, nothing bad. Just nothing.
