RE: "Potential bidding war".....8 Dec 2022 08:27
No point in trying to change anyone's mind here, and certainly would not advocate controlling who can post what. So can we settle on not stating that a 'bid is coming' as fact? Anyone can see that it's not a 100% definite that there will be a bid. You can believe it's highly likely, even close to certain. But not 100% guaranteed, hence it's an opinion. So how about the posters who think there is going to be a bid say that it is just their opinion? That was, onlookers won't be drawn to incorrect conclusions.
Also, let's have the 'bid' contingent put a date on it, if they are feeling confident. We'll ignore all the proposed time-frames that have already come and gone. We'll start today. I'm still saying, in my opinion, no bid before AGM '23.
Who will give a sooner date by which there will be a bid? If you're wrong, the only consequence is a longer wait for your payday and a little message from me the day after, marking that another incorrect deadline as passed. If you're right, you'll be rich and happy, so you won't care about my apology here!
