Takeover

[CA Baggie]

I understand most that posters are saying about the timescale,but what I was asking why were people were saying the deal is close.  Close means days or weeks not months. Why didn’t they just say the deal is ongoing and it will probably take a few months to finalise like rsbaggy did.

I'd suggest a matter of a few months is deemed close when completing these types of transaction.  Much like Kidderminster, it's all relative(s).
