Why does it have to be now or summer? Couldn't it be March or April?
Of course it could be, but once it reaches February it's not in PCPs interest to do a deal quickly because there's nothing they can do about the short term success on the pitch, with the window closed.
I'd imagine they will want to see how the season plays out before making their move. Worst case scenario for PCP will be buying the club in March and being able to do nothing about us getting relegated.
