No wonder they call this a rumour network.
I haven't the faintest idea what may or may not happen with bmir following the takeover but for what my tuppence is worth, new owners (who actually created the business in the first place) would not have got re-involved if they couldn't see £££ at the end of it. It's a standard in business. Create a company, sell it ... buy it back, redevelop it (ie invest) and I'd wager (conjecture here) they'll sell it on again in due course. Yes I gather there's a dark hole concerning feedback from management but maybe they're getting the future worked out properly first, then an announcement can be made. At least you don't work for Bob Diamond.
Doubtless I'll get some stick/uselss feedback/abuse etc but I'm not concerned. Andy Murray's made the Wimbledon final so that's reason to be cheerful.
