Yeah maybe it’s that, is what I’m thinking now, got more twists and turns than the smiler at Alton towers this, what with this, shielding and lockdown I’m losing my marbles me like
It's funny (coincidental?) that ages ago somebody hinted the takeover wouldn't be announced until just after the transfer window closes. And here we are with it closed and there are now rumours that the deal is agreed. Of course the tactic for waiting until now was to keep negotiations low, but we didn't do any of that....
His FIL couldn’t get involved yet as he has an outstanding tax bill of around €100m so would fail the f&p test atm, nothing stopping him later on when it’s sorted
Could it be the buyers have temporarily halted the buy out/investment as they know SD will have to drop his price now. The buyers can wait.
Not 100% mate but I think so otherwise wouldn’t sartori have to do so to increase his stake? Wasn’t that why the mags collapsed as it was somebody else’s money, however dirty?

Its like an Agatha Christie Christmas Special. An array of colourful characters, villains and more red herrings than you can shake your stick at. I wonder who will play the cast when it is made into a West End extravaganza. Donald, Methven, Sartori, Storey, Mer Ber, Parky, Smugs, Prehab, the elusive and mysterious Magnus to name but a handful. It will surely be narrated by Tom Baker with a huge red and white scarf on.
I want to be played by Brian Blessed or Benda Blethyn ... ... although she's shyte at doing a NE accent when I think about it
