I don't understand what he is saying. Is he saying it is done but we are waiting to announce it for "political" reasons? Or is he saying that the deal isn't done because of the contract mess?
I read it as "Its done" but we have to be sensitive about the announcement.

Agree

After this, Mitchell, and Poch we stand no chance of any Saints players
We had all that business when Rupert Lowe was their chairman and we got Hoddle and then Dean Richards (RIP). They might be a bit wound up for a while but I'm sure we'd do business again.

How did you get that from it? Would you mind explaining... Like, breaking it down..

Who said the deal is not done, and politically because of obvious not been announced yet? Just saying.

Who is saying the deal is not done - basically questioning who is saying it's not done.
And politically because of obvious not been announced yet - saying due to all the on going political and legal issues we haven't announced it yet.

Different now though, whether they are deluded or not they see us as direct rivals now, whereas under Rupert they were low levels of league, so expectations are higher and there was no social media to whip up fan revolts

Just pop a comma or two in...

That reads better.

This i think is why the club are even more determined to get Toby, Cause it is getting one over a so called top 6 team.

So being in the top six for the past 6 seasons (8 in the past 10) doesn't mean anything then.
