Yeah like I remember him reading the RNS as a disaster(I won't quote) followed by a 30% rise. He then pronounced MF as 'the best short in the City'....followed by another 70% rise and shorts closing rapidly. Best to just ignore.
Also....bear in mind that sometimes takeovers/acquisitions don't always work out the way you think they will so let's not get into an ego-fuelled bidding war that could jeopardise us financially.
JL is the ideal man to have on board, he knows Arcadia intimately so I can't imagine we'd pay over the odds and we'd be fully aware of exactly what we were buying. We're certainly not going to be interested in the whole caboodle, question is will we be able to pick off any of the juicy bits?.....not without fierce competition I suspect.
