I'm no expert CCFC but I think that's a little simplistic. I don't want to get embroiled in the debate on this because it's all been said on here before and, frankly, it can't be more than idle speculation. However, in my experience investors only try to force through an acquisition quickly if there is certain value in doing so. Investors like as much certainty as possible as it gives them a (reasonably) reliable basis on which to judge value, consider the upside potential of an acquisition and make properly informed investment decisions. The value of a potential acquisition depends on a wide variety of factors including it's current and expected assets, liabilities, legal compliance, net present values, and a range of other variables. It's a minefield at the best of times which is why there is an entire global industry dedicated to investment due diligence, as we know. Given the uncertainty surrounding all of these variables at ccfc I can sympathise with Gary when he refers to any possible negotiation as a moving target. My hunch is these investors will only be serious about it should the conditions be right. It's not to say they aren't interested.
