So, if, hypothetically, some rich nutter came along and offered £50m as a 'take it or leave it now' offer, Fry would be duty bound to turn them down? Not that there's any chance of this happening but am still interested in the 'rules' at this stage....

Yes please.....we're all ear(lobe)s

Welcome back Duncan....been busy lately?!

Can Pinnacle be gazzumped if one of the other bidders comes back with a much bigger offer on Monday (say) or is it now only Pinnacle's to throw away if they decide they don't want it at some point during the 'exclusivity' phase?

Won by a nose? No wonder they had MLT on board......

He snuck in before you hastily deleted it.....

That is what I was sort of hinting at.....anyone confirm this? i.e. For 'Pinnacle' read 'front men for rich swiss geezer(s)'....???

So what happened to the Swiss then?

"John Magnier, through Acomita, his Swiss-based investment vehicle, caused a stir earlier this year when he took a 14% stake in Devro, a Scottish company that is the largest sausage-skin maker in the world." http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/article1017746.ece?token=null&offset=24

So why did Lowe lay into them in his leaving interview with Sky News last month?

From our old friend Wikipedia.... "[Michael Wilde] is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and has a Master of Arts degree in Town & Regional Planning from Sheffield University. He has authored many papers on housing issues and was a Senior Lecturer in Real Estate Economics and Town Planning at the National University of Singapore from 1978 to 1985. During his time in Singapore he also acted as an advisor to the Government's Housing Development Board and Urban Redevelopment Authority. He retains a significant property investment portfolio in Singapore"

Agree. It is somewhat telling that the accusations of people "wanting" the club to go into administration are never accompanied by the names of the accusees.

Begbies Traynor were actually appointed by the SLH board (according to the wording of the LSE announcment), but I appreciate the underlying point/sentiment.
