FOOT.L Share Price (FOOT)

BBC just published a story that the takeover by JD has been blcoked by competition authority

Got in on the lows thankfully. Just wondering, is there any point staying in? Time to take money out of worth hanging around?

I am asking the very same question. How comes that ODDO keeps buying & accumulating? They are not acting on behalf of JD as per the forms being submitted.

Are they expecting to accumulate enough to block the deal? 3 to 4% was exactly what JD and FOOT current owners needs to accept the deal to reach to the minimum approval required (90% of shareholders). But in any case... I assume that kind of 8-9% is still in hands of small investors which... I am assuming that they won't fight too much before selling their holding at current level.

Just talk to my broker the offer is not set in stone . only primarily at moment . also could be April or may before it take over .

Does anyone know if Oddo are acting on behalf of JD Sports or are they building their own stake? They've gathered in 4.49% since Monday.

If the latter, is there going to be a rival bid? Perhaps, from the continent?
