It's probably a good chance that the second bid is from Mandy & Co and it's just Penfold hasn't cottoned on to that fact yet?
Ever seen a NDA from Disney? Even the NDA itself can't be disclosed nor the actual deal, even after the event. I have a friend who owns property on which one of the recent Star Wars films was shot. The pictures made the national papers but he's still not allowed to confirm that it took place on his property nor that he had signed the NDA in the first place. Some of these NDAs go layers deep and are horrible things.
Ideally, there'll be an announcement confirming that Mike Ashley has been killed following a face sitting session with Vanessa Feltz.
