Even if they did manage to complete a takeover, I can hardly see them dumping the brand ... although doesn't Stelio licence the easy bit of the name or something? And any takeover would need his buy in unless he decides to dump his stock and sail off into the sunset on his orange cruiser!
Good time to ca$h in those share options boys!

Yaah but they can still dump the easy brand, save some licensing fees and use the Sterling name instead, just like the very nice stickers now attached to the ex. Maersk Air fleet..

What share options!! Discretionary options failed to meet ''performance conditions'' so they're worth FA!! Unlike the Management Share Options.
