Doesn't seem too unusual to me. I don't know how it works in football, specifically, but in general business the parties would have reached their terms then sent them to the lawyers to draft up. Then that could go through a couple of revisions. The process could take several days. I have no idea if that's what's actually happening here, but it would be a reasonable enough guess. Obviously, though, I'll continue to believe the Chuckle Brothers will fuck it up until pen is set to paper.
