Count, There's no doubt that SMB will sell eventually and more crucially when the price is right. The Thread topic is 'Virgin buying through LH'.
So my point is that I doubt Virgin will have the cash to give the price required. There are a lot bigger fish out there that want a slice of BD with a lot more cash than SRB. Coupled to this if you add the fact that I doubt SRB is on SMB's Christmas card list, makes it look even less likely.
So that's how I see it in the real world
