There's no way this Bin Zayed Group would want to lose face with an aborted bid, as the concept of personal dignity, honour and protecting one’s reputation is very important in the Middle East, particularly in the business world.
That was always my impression of the culture over there, was quite surprised to hear that anyone with any sort of connections high up would be involved in bullshit like fake bids.
well aye but its already happened before with Liverpool
They had a "fake bid" for Liverpool? When did this happen?
no one has said they made a fake bid? since when did aborted mean fake?
Read Trons post.
If you cant see the difference between the Liverpool 2bn move and this one...
think we have our wires crossed I was talking about what uncle bingo said. I think the bid is real.
