Seems to me its a great combination- will be a big player, and provide staff security. Aberdeen/Scotland will suffer in rationalization. Great, cheap, deal for Sidara. I think there is more to come.

Rock, so the mid east private entities get uk public companies on the cheap- at the expense of western investors...In the final analysis, I don't think I have a problem with that.

Shorters are great in allowing overseas companies to buy cheaply...there wont be much left to short. The quicker Scotland and Ireland get control of their own destiny the better

Seemks as if the debate about the `west' and the `rest' is being answered...and it is just not Sidara

Scotland needs to separate from England...leave the English to it...

At least Sidara think WG is a bargain at 30p...let the games begin...

Poker when you say `In terms of the lies ...I dont think this is the end of the matter. There is much to come still from that ' You do not sound that different from ICE...

Monty I sold EEE to buy WG (before all the cancerous announcements). EEE has five bagged, WG has sold lies.

You said

`well I hope for the best for Scotland ...'

I agree, I also wish the best for Ireland and Palestine

Poker- as Bob says, and is obvious, there will be rationalization, I don't think Scotland will be the base, nor will all staff be needed. Poor Aberdeen! Poor Scotland

Oh poker, WG does not need a bailout...please use your words accurately (of course, correct and apologize)

No need for a bailout pokerchips...but retaining national champions that contribute to the virtuous cycle of innovation-commercialization-innovation, I think is something that requires consideration. Its not a military- industrial complex. It more an industrial - engineering complex. Scotland is about to lose that.

Bob, I am playing as an outsider (as many do)- when I play I want to try and understand what is happening and why. I have lost money...but to me its empirical evidence of the failure of our elites to support manufacturing and engineering (actually the financial/legal elites are creaming it)

Bob...dont trust the great and good....I know you dont. Mine and your politics, I expect, would be quire different,. I think we would have a good laugh- and a good conversation.

JXP ...I say you are talking nonsense...want me/others to explain?

I said

`AMEC seem a real opportunistic, dastardly bunch...but hey due diligence...incidentally, who did due due diligence for WG on AMEC?'

The consequences, of past actions, as latest RNS, is quite significant for regional and national economy. Who is responsible?

AMEC seem a real opportunistic, dastardly bunch...but hey due diligence...incidentally, who did due due diligence for WG on AMEC?

Innocent- you don't sound innocent!

I though the following significan, but seemingly WG have been addressing legacy issues (not sure about the directors)

`Wood has not generated any sustainable free cash flow since 2017, with a total free cash outflow from 2017 to 2024 of approximately $1.5 billion, reflecting multiple issues including regulatory fines, significant loss-making contracts, restructuring charges and litigation payments.'

Are the above a)historical b) past the peak c) how much still being resolved d) how long before there is a clear road ahead? e) clearly current BOD cannot navigate a secure future- Sidara see phenomenal prospects f) If synergies between WG and Sidara are so prospective surely the 30p offer is a `first strike' on acquiring such a desirable asset. Of course Sidaras (and Wood groups) competitors might not like the dominance that Sidara could exert with WG under Sidaras cash rich middle east competitors. Only thoughts...

Poker you say

`They have saved that need.. and worry for employees'

I really don't think Sidara, or any other firm, give a hoots about employees. The Scottish Government may be concerned about the loss of jobs, effect on industry/academia networks, and, of course, other multiplier effects.
