Chinese Democracy: yet another release date

No, no, really, this time. Apparently. Axl has supposedly finished the album, reckons his manager:

Beta Lebeis confirmed to Metal Hammer magazine that the record was "finished before Christmas". Adding that "everybody knows that". Lebeis also insists that Rose is currently "in negotiations" to arrange the album's on-sale date, with the magazine reporting rumours of a possible late summer release.

If he finished it before Christmas, why would they wait until September before pushing it out?

Unless, you know, it's very, very poor.
