THE process of selling the Newcastle Jets has dragged on for at least a month longer than originally anticipated, prompting executive chairman Shane Mattiske to email the club's members on Thursday, asking them to remain patient.
The Jets, who have been under caretaker ownership for the past three years, were officially put on the market in October and have subsequently been linked to an Italian billionaire, Danilo Iervolino, who also owns Serie A club Salernitana.
