I'm happy that the market basically said NO and by the deadline the consortium had not achieved the required minimum of 50% to achieve a 14 day extension.
IF the deal goes go ahead it is because they have moved the goal posts yet again....not because they deserve to win.
This reminds me of another US group and how they play the game.Does anyone remember a certain Yacht club and their interpretations of the rules during the Americas cup ...
Wasn't there an interview with Darth and someone asked who approached who first for the takeover.From what I have heard they both looked at each other and said "NO COMMENT"......
Imagine if you had problems paying your mortgage and the deadline to prevent the bank repossessing your property was friday 7PM.That deadline passed and you rang Monday morning and said I managed to get the money on saturday morning..is that OK????
