bilko89 507 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm going to wake up tomorrow and there's loads of good news and a preferred bidder will be announced later on in the day. Good night bears Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986jamie 1 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yet again we are suffering from a total lack of clarity from all parties. Some a bit more vague than others. Unsubstantiated rumours on here don't help nor does conjecture if it is made to look factual. There is far too much dubiety in almost every statement from every party or at least that is how it appears to the majority.Don't think it could be summed up better. Has Bill Ng actually withdrawn his bid? Is it official? D & P haven't said that in their latest statement.Has Bill Miller actually confirmed that liquidation is his preferred option? I certainly haven't read that anywhere and in fact I thought I could recollect that he said something totally different a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps I have missed something.TBK backed off when the Singaporean bid looked favourite after Ticketus tried to negotiate a better deal with Bill Ng. It was nothing to do with £500k non-refundable deposit (which was apparently reduced to £250k) as TBK said the consortium had agreed they would pay that themselves. The payment of the deposit was not the sticking point it was when TBK found out that Ticketus/Ng was a better bid. TBK bid is still valid if D & P wish to accept it.Brian Kennedy stated that he had discussions with D & P and has also stated that he upped his offer but it looks like D & P are saying they can't accept it. The reason is unclear but it looks as if it is because it is only verbal. D & P could have been clearer with their latest statement on that issue. If it is simply because the offer isn't in writing then D & P should say that. Now according to D & P, all the bids are conditional in one way or another. If D & P cannot (note I don't mean prefer not) accept conditional bids then they should state that. Make it totally clear and set a deadline of Sunday night for final bids with an assurance that one bidder will be named as Preferred Bidder on Monday morning. D & P have had sufficient time to evaluate all bids and it is highly unlikely that any bid will be drastically changed. All that should be required is a bit of "tweaking". There is now speculation that possible football sanctions may be part of the reason for the delay or conditional sections of bids. If that is correct then it is time for the bidders to take a chance, make a decision and we will take it from there in the future. The SFA and SPL can wait until another day.The fans, shareholders and creditors all deserve a swift resolution to the current impasse which has been allowed to drag on for an unacceptably long time. Further procrastination is not an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartansmokie 36 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Basically its down to either Miller or NG as PB.TBK have no money, they couldn't even come up with the 500K last weekend. Kennedys bid is so far off the mark its a joke.Come on D & P put us out our misery and let us know the PB tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanh91 75 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If the Miller CVA thing is true from Matt Slater... I'm not getting excited though. I can guarantee tomorrow will be another day of "why the fuck has the there been no announcement yet?!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Rd 2,860 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 From David Hillier D&P refusal of BK verbal bid was necessary because written and legal submission is required, and this would take time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
