What's perplexing is how far apart they still are. They had really since the end of the season so 5 months to hash this out.

I think the reason they're not budging is that Johnny's agent and Treliving both have something to prove with this negotiation, and there hasn't been an overwhelming pressure for either to move from their starting position yet.
After the World Cup, I'd expect the meaningful negotiations to begin, and hopefully they'll find a long-term compromise.
