The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Malandro]

I'm putting my money on a leak this week. Just a guess, however.

It's pretty hard to keep things under wraps for too long. I can't imagine it will be a saga either, we've been up for sale for a long time and one thing that you can be sure about - the house will be in order.

I think 'The Edge' is right up there because he's a short Welsh man in his 50s who calls himself 'The Edge'.

I've got an explosive ITK about him.

He's bald. The hat thing is to throw you off the scent.

Bono's had some 'help' in that area as well, hasn't he?

Agree, we've spent 5 seasons getting the house in order and the accounts from the last 2 years show that the process was pretty much complete, I can't see last summers business having harmed that process.

Yep, we've got wages under control and with a few departing this summer we can hopefully start offering the type of wages to make us competitive again without getting to the ridiculous levels of the MON/Hou/TSM 1 era. For me transfer funds are a red herring as its wage levels that bear a better relation to your league position.

You would think with all going on behind the scenes with due diligence
And checking the books in detail that there maybe a leak creep through,
But if the books have been cleared as o k and both sets of lawyers are
Being seen to earn their fees, there may be a lot of nit picking going back
& forth. The other problem maybe due to having people in on site but having
to report back to a different time zone. I hope that it is sorted soon so we can
Get back to some normality

or maybe nothing is happening at all, and there is no book checking or DD

I think that more or less confirms that something significant was taking place. But I guess it could have gone tits up - although I think we are just in the process of being taken over.

I'd have to here the tune, but I'm not mad on the lyrics. Is it Cameo?

After just going through the same situation with my company it has bought back
Some feelings, the Buyer & Seller were in agreement on heads of agreement
And once the legal beagles got involved something which should have been sorted
A good 6 weeks earlier, was dragged out. And one party or the other has to give way
At some point in order to get completion
Not an easy situation
