    The voluntary offer was 1p a share. The compolsury offer will be 1p a share, and for the sake of £40k is a no-brainer as far as Dasani is concerned.

    I don't blame WST for doing what they did. They only said what every supporter of the club was thinking. But I suspect that all they have done is reduce the Russo's losses slightly.

    Just been looking a bit more into the people advising Mr. B. One of the two contact names has this written about him.

    Tom Sheldon
    email Tom

    Assistant Director, Corporate Finance

    A qualified Chartered Accountant; Tom gained experience with Baker Tilley before joining Seymour Pierce in 2007.

    Can we assume that the Vic will be reeking of curry next?

    My memory is fading, but I think that Mr. B was involved in the possible buy out of Blackburn. The current owners, the Indian chicken company Venkys, bought it when the other company that was shrouded in mystery pulled out. They were also Indian and were offering a great deal more until they found out the amount of debt associated with the club. If it is the same outfit that Mr. B was fronting, then they left the Blackburn deal saying that they were still wanting to buy an English football team.

    I know that the later part of the above is correct, but not sure if it was the same people that Mr. B was with. Anyone else remember the details?

    After watching Panorama last night, I have a feeling that the paper trail will end up leading to Libya or Zimbabwe.

    I have decided to stop thinking about Baz - it gets us nowhere - until he gives more info we are just speculating. No doubt time will tell

    Trying to keep this clean all I can say is that it is like another activity that was once described as being quite pleasurable but not exactly productive. I have formed an opinion and unless circumstances change I doubt there is any reason for me to change that opinion.

    Thinking about Baz might be compared to many things, Leo, but to watching TV? Unless of course you had something else in mind...
