Assuming it all goes to the wire, and the deal falls through at the last minute, then GB will resume the Franchise arangment,.......... for all of half a season until it expires!!! Then what!!
Dont think that is likely though,............ easy got these things sussed,.......
Besides, in my time at GB, I have never felt that BA appreciated, valued, or liked the work that GB did,........ so do I wanna work for a "parent" company that doesnt appreciate me, certainly not. This is a step forward in my eyes,.......... we are wanted at easy, that is clear,........ but as Will Bored puts it, it would be nicer with a cheque
