Sunfish's call on takeover was right

Labor red flag for Qantas suitors as takeover speculation rises | The Australian


Ross Greenwood was just on CH 9 saying he has been given names of the consortium that is going to take over the airline.

He specifically named "senior ex QF executives who are cashed up after a recent business sale"

This can only mean Dixon and Gregg who have just sold GAAM for a few billion.

Bet Singo is involved too.

Watch the share price rocket today !

Didn't Dixon et al sell GAAM recently? That would mean they're all cashed up now!

That media statement that TIMA posted is kind of funny, AJ says he can not see why people are talking down the Qantas brand and its share price.

The way I see it, he and his PR machine are the only ones talking down the brand and subsequent share prices.

I would put a carton on their plans having changed quite considerably since the politicians have stated "NO" to what AJ and company are planning, big back pedal now.

I thought 24AUG was supposed to be the dawning of a new age.

What do we have to earn for our shareholders to receive a dividend?????
Or is this the way to p&%s of our shareholders, so when a takeover bid does come along, they`ll almost accept anything. Is it correct to assume the Board & our mate won`t be getting bonus`s etc, due to the dismal $550 million profit.

Spot on Shedy, there is no doubt in my mind this is the case, probably why I felt it necessary to post that midday thing.

Today I wanted to post as much of the hype in the daytime media as possible for the record, so as all of us can compare the media view points before tonight's ABC 7.30/Lateline reports which are not reliant on advertising.

It appears Steve Creedy does a better job for Qantas than its CEO. (which does not surprise me.)







Oh Steve, "a bounce of 8% in this morning's share price." Wasn't that yesterday?



As it turns out, a bit of a nothing day, down 1.3 % weird...

Ex GAAM boys in for a piece of QF

Well, wuddya know? After selling GAAM to FLY the Big Boys are back. To buy Qantas, that is...

Remember them? Let me refresh you. Geoff Dixon, Peter Gregg, Mark Carnegie, John Singleton et al..

Funny the rumours you hear though hey? Like GD seen at the Toaster where AJ lives on a bi-weekly basis, what? for a catch up?? AJ has just publicly proclaimed ZERO knowledge of said buyout on Nine news Exclusive.

This'll b interesting won't it...

Comments?

Is Joyce an idiot who is being manipulated by the evil Dixon and co?

Or

Is Joyce a part of this evil consortium and should be locked up for breaching corporate governance?

Seems they may have a few problems with the Federal Govt but regardless, someone needs to get the handcuffs polished and ready to go just in case.

Take yourself to the gutter where you belong. No one should have to read your vile language.

Surely Mods it's time you cleaned up this forum or are you setting up people for some nasty letters from Freehills and their ilk? No wonder many non-Australian residents hold Aussies in such poor regard.

Look what the cat dragged in everybody, Corporate Ken is back!
Oh how Ken hates to see management scorned by us repugnant souls. Now Ken, please stop sooking to the Mods and threatening lawyers, you would be better served organizing your finances for when you become redundant shortly like many of your colleagues. Perhaps GAMM will purchase you also, after all, every Exec needs a comfy footstool and you enact that role perfectly Seeing that you are a managent lover!

Well Ken, such ridiculous statements make you simply look like, well, a "tool". Sorry, Aussie euphemism... So, while I don't necessarily agree with standards choice of vocab, maybe you should bloody well understand the angst that he and many of us have for this (and previous) unbelievably greedy and naive QF Board and Management.... But anyway, what parties do you go to my friend, to give you such a low opinion of us Aussies...? You muppet...

I agree with Ken regarding the unacceptable language. I expect better from those that profess to being professionals.

I also agree with every user's right to express their opinion and expect you to accept that opinion, whether you agree or not.

However, our Mod task at this difficult time is primarily to ensure posts do not contain libel and defamation and PPRuNe does not become embroiled in legal action to recover user details.
