Fairdealer, I like any scenario in which Marstons remains as a brewer, even if only as a partner in the JV. It has always surprised me that the company is still called Marston's, even though John Marston sold out completely in 1888 and there have been several owners of it since. Perhaps the longevity of the name is testament to the quality of the product, and if that's the case it may survive a little longer yet.
I fear however that Carlsberg will be only too happy to buy the remaining 40% of the JV if it becomes available.
