"Everybody wants it to happen, there are not any obstacles in the way, so hopefully, very quickly we can get it over the line, but it is signed it is not on.
"There are a lot of facets to making it over the line, lawyers and broadcasters are involved. He added. "There has been an offer that could be refused but they have accepted a great offer.
"The basis of the deal, 90 per cent of what counts in the deal it is okay, and the other 10 per cent we have to sort out."
