Seems to me like no-one has a clue what's happening.
I'm not believing anything till it is a completed deal and everyone has been fully informed of the outcome, hopefully by RMT as that's what I think they promised at the meeting they held at the club, if my memory serves me right.
I should add that, having had chartiable trust status explained to me, I don't think that proposal is realistic.
If the chap you're referring to is Elia, it'll be Advance Australia Fair not the Star Spangled Banner!
