Yep there's always the possibility that it's just taking forever to figure out the detail of all the offshore companies, who owns what etc etc. I suppose at the moment at least it does look like Warnock is building a decent team anyway, even if it has been funded by the sale of Snodgrass.
3-1 win today anyway and the team is looking solid enough, but really lacking any creativity/flair going forward. We scored 3 goals but all by defenders and all from setpieces, and I don't think we managed to string more than 2 passes together in the entire game, it was pretty much all just hoofball from the back.
Ah well, it's only pre-season anyway.
