Well if the back garden is at Holmpton or Withernwick, you might want to try and sell fairly quickly. Here today gone tomorrow, bit like buying a Premier League football club with the season about to start.
..And the price the Allams are asking for includes the value of being in the PL. Which I believe was you analogy.
And if the house sellers don't have the money to drill for the oil, well (see what I did there?) they may just have to compromise. (Oh that word again, that it appears some house sellers don't have in their vocabulary).
The moment the ref blew the full time whistle at Wembley the price of the club was only going one way.
Won't happen, but a complete boycott of the opening game would be perfect. Good for local pub trade too!
There is no such thing as promise in negotiations, until it's legally a promise. It must be annoying to have the goalposts moved, but unfair to accuse them of breaking a promise. Let's just hope the Americans have the stomach to keep going.
at the end of the day the Americans are businessmen looking at a business opportunity - there are many places to invest your money - if the Allams are making it difficult and making the business opportunity look, either too difficult, too many conditions, too expensive then of course they will walk away - the Allams should be grateful they have a buyer, sounds like they've pissed them off with their business acumen -they probably think their experience in dealing with third world buyers for small generating sets holds them in good stead for dealing with real professionals
