It seems they haven’t accepted an offer yet that meets the demands so why announce make a deadline that couldn’t be met. Fair play for them on clarifying reasons why CK wasn’t accepted though. Dunno have they done this job before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I reckon he's pulled out because he got the sense he wasn't going to be selected as the preferred bidder, and it would be embarrassing after how public he has been to not be chosen. Saves him the humiliation to storm off before the announcement CBRammette, Rammy03 and Derby4Me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s certainly got the financial means to get us out of this mess, and that is all the matters right now. Would also put the s**** up the two chairmen trying it on.

He was saying that the two other bidders were going to join forces. That was BS. Nothing that Percy said doesn’t tie up. It doesn't tie up because we know full well that Appleby is one of the interested parties and he doesn't mention him! Not long to wait now anyway!

Well, that story would require the appearance of Three Wise Men from the East which, let's be frank, isn't remotely plausible. The Shepherds shouldn't be a problem though. atherstoneram, David Graham Brown, RadioactiveWaste and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know that Appleby has made a bid? We know he is interested. But anyway why does not naming Appleby not make it tie up that Gadsby is the other party?

Ghost of Clough Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I don't think it's a coincidence that CK pulled out, just like the Scottish pair did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway why does not naming Appleby not make it tie up that Gadsby is the other party? Do we know? No. Is it a reasonable assumption to make that someone who has said they are 'very much still interested' this late in the day is part of a bid? Yes. Otherwise they're pretty bloody hollow words. If they haven't bid by now they haven't been given access to the full financials, it would be pretty stupid to only just enter the proceedings at this point. I can't be arsed explaining my thinking to you any further tbh, if you don't see what's strange about it nothing I say is going to change that. It's also a pointless discussion now anyway as we're imminently about to find out the preferred bidder.

CK increased his offer a couple of days ago. Another increased offer yesterday from mystery bidder. so reasons for delay are they are still able to get a better deal for the creditors?
