You're therory sounds plausible okenia, but realistically I can't see any positive outcome during 11th hour negotiations considering they've had months to secure the company's future.
Said in April after raising £36.9m they were keen to grow the business through acquisition, since then VTU has aquired Farnells, LOOK aquired Benfield, if the BoD don't get a move on they'll be nothing of significant share holder value worth acquiring.
For the entire week it was just LIBC and WINS actively trading it, I've noticed CANA have joined in. If the others follow suit this should gap up nicely.
Well done old chap, growth on both fronts, organic and through acquisition. 153 dealerships now puts the company in the big boys league, INCH, Sytner, PDG.
You'll probably see the same trade sold tomorrow...... at a loss.
I await the day when a BOD starts a bad RNS, "The BOD are absolutely gutted and ashamed to announce" instead of the usual 'pleased to announce' carp.
shocking RNS, cost escalations, time frames missed, additional loans but this bit cracks me up, "the BOD are pleased to announce" pleased to announce what? lol
