It does feel like it's taking a lot longer than expected by most, but why might that be the case?
As many have opined, if it was a deal for a couple of £bn, it would have been done and dusted quite quickly. Maybe it's taking longer because it's a big figure / bidding war.
The alternative, I guess, is that the offer isn't big enough, but again, that would have been dealt with surly?
Maybe the deal is going to be very complex if it happens.
All my own opinion mind, only time will tell
