It's not the sort of thing I could ever be bothered trawling past posts for but you, Haggis, have most definitely ridiculed posts suggesting AFC could be taken over any time soon. Which is fine, we're all entitled to change our minds and it is logical to do so when circumstances do likewise. But that doesn't really square with your pathological insistence that you are never wrong. Maybe, like many I imagine, have concluded that the pie in the sky projections of yore are just that and you'd rip a bidder's arm off for a fraction of the price you've touted over the years. Or are we still waiting for AFC to emulate Amazon?
Could be argued that no news is good news. The original announcement was deemed to be price sensitive so a failure to achieve those milestones should be announced. Still think it is very newsworthy not only for shareholders but for PR purposes.
Did I miss any delay to the agreement to deliver a generator to Acciona in 'the second half of 2023'? That was, surely?, a unit that would be up and running as soon as it reached the site so it wouldn't be unreasonable I don't think, to have expected confirmation of that delivery. The ABB system is different - we know that will need validation and if it follows the same path as last year that may not be confirmed until March

You are citing all the deals as 'huge' CN but there are only any numbers attached to one (Speedy) and they are not huge numbers. That and all the others may have huge potential but anybody sane wants to see some of that potential realised sooner rather than later.
To quote you:
'But you both decide to make a trade report, bringing the transaction ‘on exchange’ and creating a public record of the transaction.'
If they decide not to then they are in breach or transaction reporting requirements.
No doubt it will generate the usual debate closing down response but where is this OTC market Haggis? If it exists then transaction reporting is still a regulatory requirement. That has to happen even if there is a switch between two clients of an investment manager. I am very sceptical that dark pools play a significant role in penny stocks on AIM.
I really can't be bothered doing the research to prove this but I believe I am right. It is unlikely that significant, albeit BAU in a way, announcements will be made on a Monday simply because deals aren't generally signed over a weekend. There are exceptions, of course there are, and particularly in M&A where the lawyers may have been burning the midnight oil buy it is very unlikely that a material contract will have been signed on a Saturday afternoon. So do us all a favour and reset you 'No News' alert for Tuesday. At least for a week it will give us an extra day without your pointless posts.
Haggis is absolutely right that it's not impossible that AFC could emulate the success of Amazon.
In the same way that it's not impossible that I could bump into Jennifer Lawrence while I'm walking the dog tomorrow morning and she could whisk me back to her place, cover me in Spry Crisp 'N' Dry and 'teach me things'.
None of these things are impossible.
