Er... thank you, that's er.... really reassuring, gulp!
I suspect you're right, and I suspect that was always the more realistic unfolding. So why the flying f*ck do the club constantly get expectations up with unrealistic time lines? Are they making releases that they haven't a clue what they are talking about? Are they trying to fob us off with bullshit? Are the club being lied to by their contracting partners who should know what they are talking about?
What exactly is going on with this constant moving back a quarter?
Whatever is the reason, it doesn't do the clubs credibility much good to constantly anounce timelines that are obviously unrealistic or are failed to be met. In these things honestly is usually the best PR.
